New from New Mexico...

Hello, I’m 66, married for 30 years next September. I have been dealing with my ED for at least the last 10 years, but it may have been longer. Married with children will do that to you I guess. My issues have been elections with my wife, but I have been okay with maintain an erection thru masturbation, so it could be worse. I have gone thru medical assessment with an MD, who is not a specialist in dealing with ED. I have been getting Tpelleting for the past several years. My regular MD wrote me a scrip for viagra, but I’m going with generic viagra trokes, which are a lot easier to manage. I did get a script for quad mix, which has been in the fridge for about 18 months. My wife is not too cool to the idea of having to take me to the ER even though I have the down Med to go with it. I have figured out the dosing, but she is so difficult to read for just when the moment is going to be right, I can’t really incorporate it. How long is that medications shelf life if it has been properly stored in the fridge?

Welcome to the forum i second the advice of getting new meds.

Get with your doctor be active in your treatment

Welcome to FrankTalk. I found a lot of information and support here. I expect you will too.

I’d recommend that you find a urologist with experience in treating ED. One who prescribes injectable meds for ED on a regular basis.

Starting with quadmix is very unusual. Quadmix is REALLY potent stuff and isn’t usually where you start. It would be a bit like starting hunting with an elephant rifle.

My urologist gave me a trial injection in his office. It was a smallish dose of Trimix and then we waited for a bit (10-15 mins or so) and he assessed how well it had worked. Then he gave me recommendations about how to adjust my dose going forward. My experience is pretty typical of what I have read here.

Let us know how you do as you go along.

Thank you all. I did get rid of the quad. I had a feeling it was too old. My issue is getting my wife to cooperate. Since we went thru a long dry spell in our marriage, my epiphany that brought us back together some 34 months ago has come with a price. She just has a lot of no go areas, because I guess she has a right to be set in her ways. However, she is willing to have intercourses with me provided I can get it up for a length of time to do it. The Cialis works great for solo, but won’t last long enough between the 2 of us. The doc who prescribed the quad is no longer practicing, but I still get my Tpellets from the practice. They just don’t have another practitioner to take his place. He was not urologist, to be honest, but was a PA that worked with one of the men’s health scams, New Male, that he felt was ripping off men with ED. I did try the blood plasma inject, which the head Doc (not a urologist) offered you my at cost. It was more uncomfortable then I was told to expect and I felt no benefit other then a few days worth of heavy flu systems. I wanted to ask of the injectable medications you have tried, is it possible to get one that wears off without the antidote injection. That would work perfect for me.

Thanks for sharing all of that. There is a lot to unpack for you and your wife as you move towards being more physically intimate and sexually active with one another.

The antidote shot that is sometimes prescribed with injectable ED medication is just a safety feature. It’s only to be used in case of an emergency, an erection lasting more than 4 hours which could cause damage to the penis. It’s not intended to be used each time, or even regularly. It’s like an airbag in a car. You have it because it’s the safe thing to have, not because you intend to use it.

You REALLY need to find a urologist in your area that has experience in ED and injectable medications to guide you. I’m happy to share my experience but I’m just a layman.

My experience with injectable ED medication is similar to many of the men here. When I want to have a firm erection that will last a while (an hour to an hour and a half in my case) I draw up the medication and inject it into the side of the shaft of my penis. Within 3 or 4 minutes I have an erection. Within 10 mins it’s at its maximum firmness and I’m able to function well for penetrating sex without worrying about my erection going away for the next hour+. Then as the medication wears off I’m at about half mast for another hour and have a chubby full flaccid cock for another hour or two after that.

I’ve been injecting for 5 or 6 years now and have NEVER had to use an antidote shot or take pseudoephedrine (over the counter cold medicine oral pills which can help reverse the effect).

I started on a medium sized dose of a weak formula of TriMix and my dose requirements have increased over the years. That is true for many of us here but not all. Some men have been on a very stable low dose for a long time. Every time I increased my dose it was as my doctor has taught me. Every time I needed a new formula strength it was written by my urologist.

There is a physician finder search function on this site. That might help turn up some names of MDs in your area. You could also search the posts for names of cities near you. That might turn up another member in your area that will have some ideas for MDs.

I’m going to hammer on this point one more time: you need to find a urologist who will help guide you to get the erections you want to be sexual with your wife again. There is a solution but you’ll need a good urologist to help you find it.

Thank you, GW. It is pretty obvious that I do need a referral to an experienced ED urologist. None showed up in the referral window that is near me, but I will pursue that for sure. I’m realizing I was not getting the proper medical advice, because the PA that I was seeing, was also using the quad mix and had to use the antidote every time that he used it. I far preferring not to have to do that and now I have a reason to seek proper medical treatment, because I don’t have to each time. The quad was clearly overkill, and what you shared is encouraging to me. I just want to share what time I have with my wife, I am a type 2 diabetic and have hypertension, but they are controlled.

Edit to add: Look on the internet for compounding pharmacies near you or in the nearest metropolitan area. Call them and ask if they compound injection meds for ED. If they don't, ask them for the names of some that do. (Not all compounding pharmacies are licensed to compound injection meds.) When you find some that compound the meds ask them for a list of doctors (preferably urologists) that prescribe it. Then take that list and search for reviews on those doctors that are reasonably close to you.

bldoink, Thank you for that. I was going to contact my regular doctor to get a referral for a local Uro who specializes in ED. My wife, who is an MD, commented all he will do is prescribe drugs. Works for me. I can get my other MD who does my Tpelleting to write anything, and I do have a local compounding pharmacy who did the quad and does my generic Cialis trokes. I’m sure they can do any of the mono meds. Just the idea of taking something that I can sleep on with or without sex, is all I ever wanted. The Tadalafil trokes are 40mg that I’m supposed to half before using, I am actually using without splitting. The compounding pharmacy said he could not make them any stronger then that. Anybody using a higher dosage then that?
