The generic is the same as the Levitra brand. It's not unusual for ED drugs to lose their effectiveness. Have you considered increasing your dosage? If that doesn't work injections would be the next step but you've already said you don't want to go that route. Good luck.

SteveSW,

Thanks! Being able to really go after it within nine weeks -- and relatively pain-free -- is exactly what I am hoping for! Continued good luck on your journey.

Just watched a YouTube video by Dr. Paul Perito, in Miami. He says he aims for patients to be back in the saddle in as little as three weeks -- but most are back in at about six weeks.

Absolutely. Yes, that can be dangerous. But ... onward. Life is short.

Sexless marriage for over 15 years. Implanted for 5. Yes I hoped it would help change things but it didn't. The main reason for me getting an implant was FOR ME. Feel much better about myself. Enough so that if it was to break today, I would be making arrangements to get it replaced tomorrow. Excel...

The challenge is that you obviously won't know how you'll look until you actually have the implant. Really tight jeans could be an issue if you don't want to change your style. Good luck on your journey.

That's the frustrating thing about injections -- the results can be all over the place. The only thing the original poster can do is to keep experimenting with stronger formulas, if necessary, or injecting more units.

Good to see this post. The practice of taking more than one ED drug at the same time is called "combination therapy." I've done that many times with no ill effects.

Let the man bugle. One of the women who glance downwards to check out his package could be your wife or girlfriend. In either case, no harm done.

I'm not scheduled to be implanted until February, but the tubing you show in your pictures would not worry me a bit. My attitude is, "don't sweat the small stuff."

Good luck and have fun.
