TIA
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=15286&p=135821#p135821

Kept having TIAs. Finally, on my own I determined it was the Viagra causing them. Levitra & Cialis, same thing. Stopped the PDE5s & have been TIA free for 2 years now. My neurologist says he's seen this before.

eye:
viewtopic.php?t=17755

I am legally blind in one eye, I had an Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy, in layman's terms I had a stroke in the eye. I was sent to a renowned Optic Neurologist at Scripts in San Diego by my ophthalmologist. The first question the neurologist asked me was have you been on Cialis or Viagra, which I had been. He said never take Cialis or Viagra again. He told me we can't say for sure this is what caused your problem, but there is an association. I have since change ophthalmologists and he also told me not to take those drugs. He says it could easily happen to the other eye then I would be legally blind.

Thank you so much for sharing this. This is scary. I have to use upwards of 160-180mg of viagra sometimes for intercourse. Wow.

Scary shit! I'm 77 and play once a month with young escorts. 80 mg of Sildenafil work best one hr out. WARNING!! DO NOT drink alcohol with this drug, TOXIC! one or two glasses of wine ok but no more than that. Twice I had major meltdowns after drinking and Sildenafil and didn't feel drunk at all. Thank god my escort/GF was there to get me home, (Saved my sorry ass) if not I could have gone face down in the street. Now there's brain bleed to worry about too? WTF

I have a history of stroke in my family (maternal side). My elderly mother has had a TIA or mini-stroke (we are not 100% sure). Also, my dad has high blood-pressure.

What kind of risk am I facing if I am on cialis/viagra for the long-term?

Does anyone get headaches and feel pressure in the head and eyes with medication?

Does anyone get headaches and feel pressure in the head and eyes with medication?

Yes I have had bad headaches from some tadalafil and at only 5 or 10mg.

Do you still take it and if so do you take it daily or only before activity? If taken daily, do these symptoms go away with time?

Yes I still take it. I spoke with my doctor about the headaches, and he suggested that I could try it every other day. So if daily seems to be giving me a headache, I switch to EOD. So far that is the only side effect that is hard to ignore.
