ED drugs

Postby Pappys@@53 » Sun Oct 22, 2023 12:55 am

I have been using tadalifil since my surgery. It is a hit and miss. I was wondering if I should switch to one of the others but afraid to since you read about all the side effects. Is there any other thing that works that is more safe then the drugs? I have read all about the implant, but there are problems with it. I can't even imagine sticking a needle in my penis.

Don't put limits on yourself. try everything. Some guys have side effects from viagra but who's to say you will You hav nothing to lose for trying. Also, injections - if you use and auto-inject device the injections are not painful. There can be side effects, but then again you don't know until you try and if they work - great!
As you perhaps can tell, I've tried it all to no avail. But at least I know I have explored all the options. Am now scheduled for implant in two weeks. Reviews are encouraging but, like everything else, there will be issue/differences. But at least I WILL be able to get HARD. I can learn to deal with whatever else comes along with the decision from there.

Good luck to you, man!

I tolerate Viagra better than tadalifil. Experimentation is the only way to know which works best for you.

The injections are not difficult of painful. No need to be scared of them.

ED drugs have varying results for every guy. Some work great, others not so good, but the only way to know is try. I started with Viagra and it worked great for a few years. When it came to injections I was in the same frame of mind, 'No way I'm sticking a needle in my penis!" But at the doc's office they used an auto-injector, and it was painless. I used Trimix for a couple of years with good success using the auto-injector. Sadly, my ED continued to worsen that ended up with getting the implant. A surgery at 68 scared me as my only other surgery was at 3 years old. But all turned out good, and the implant works well.
Don't be afraid to try new things. Life can get depressing if things don't work like you want.

Trust me. We've all had to work through these decision's. If you can't find a workable solution then you need to get comfortable with being celibate. All of a sudden the implants start looking a lot better than becoming a celibate man.
