I may or may not be going on Trimix, more than likely I will be.
I was wondering how dosage is determined and how much is average?
Also, how many doses do people usually get per vial? (is it a vial?)

Its not the amount its how strong is the product and they start you on the weakest. I started he said 10 units then nothing up 5. Well finally had lift off at 65 units which means cost a lot i will move up to stronger as soon as i can each vial cost me.20 plus and i get 1 1/3 hits per and a lot is wasted missing the spot

I'm disabled so cost is a major issue. My doc said it's about $100. We'll see.

$100 for how much of what?

Starting doses and mix strengths seem to be all over the place. Prices also seem to vary substantially be local.

Some guys find a mix that works fairly easily and quickly, but some don't. I have no idea how much of that is luck and how much is doctor expertise and experience. I'm guessing luck is a pretty big factor.

I'm sorry I'm giving such a vague response. I guess the point is, to be grateful if you find the right mix quickly and patient if you don't.

As I've said before, I think, at least at this point, figuring this stuff out is as much alchemy or sorcery as it is medicine.

Good luck.

I was started on 8.75/30/1 with 30 units in the dr office. I am allergic to the first component PGE-1. Pain, pain, pain. 30% of guys are allergic. Erection lasted 4 hrs. Last injection was 4 units of the above mix and 26 units of bi-mix 30/2. Gave a reasonable hard for 3 hrs but still some tolerable pain. Injection hard on for me was more sensitive than implant hard on. Sponginaous and glans don't enlarge with implant because all my nerves were removed in RP operation. Nothing beats a blood filled hard on.
