I was relying on the pills for several years before my never sparing prosectomy (age 64). 6months after surgery pills were not enough - had some success with pills plus pumping. 12 months later went with trimix injections works great. I have also heard it could take 2 years for full nerve recovery. ...

This is interesting (and funny).
Had prostate surgery 20 months ago . Started using TriMIx with much success 8 months ago.

I hope Trimix works for me until the blue-tooth feature becomes available (with cordless charging)

MSChicago,

Best of luck to you. I will be following along, because I suspect the day will come when Trimix will fail me.
P.S. I'm also in the Chicago area (in the burbs).

I have been on Trimix (a pretty standard strength) for 6 months now, once/twice per week. As for the intended goal it works great! Early on the long-lasting side effect was a significant ache, lasting until things went limp ~2.5 hours. 6 months later that ache has diminished to minor discomfort (als...

My first tri-mix injection in the Dr. office was 20 units; was promising but only about 60% of what would be needed for penetration. The Dr. was happy with this early result and told me to increase by only 5 units at a time. I went all the way up to 35 units and then had phenomenal success, an impre...

This weekend was my 26th injection, consider myself of average size.
All of my injections utilized the 29 gauge - 1/2" needle, inserted until the hub is flush with the surface. I have not had a single mis-fire, and am to the point of barely feeling the injection

Not Alprostidal, But a few notes - I started my Trimix journey with an instructional dose in the urologist office in early March. The doc's prescription specified a 1/2" needle as opposed to 5/16". When I questioned the needle length; he said NO, for best results use the 1/2'' and push it ...

[quote="1969CevyC10"]I tried using a 5/16" needle 3 times, and all 3 times it did not work. The Uro used a 1/2" needle in her office the first time I was injected so I switched back to a 1/2" needle and it worked. I think everyone is a little different but I know 1/2" i...

The following is only my opinion: I think some portion of the initial dose may stay effective to some degree in your system for 24+ hours, and this is the reason they suggest no more frequent than every other day? I went with my normal 30 unit dose for a great time around 10PM. So 12 hours later, I ...

I agree with what everyone else has responded with, you may want to consider a different doctor: The first dose will likely be very modest and potentially disappointing. My first instructional/practice session with Trimix was in the Urologist office. He has a lot of experience helping those of us wi...
