Advice Needed

[Budward]

7 units didn't work so I guess I'll up the dose next time.

I think you are pretty safe if you stay in the 9 and 3 area to inject. Just go slow. Also I would think we are all different I started at 10 Unites and now am at 22-25. However I only have one dose at my current strength.
My new script written in Canada is stronger based upon the information I received in Franktalk. Learned that the fee for Trimix is the same regardless of the strength, so I will have to learn to tirate with the stronger formula.

Tried again today and upped the dose from 7 units to 11. This time I got an erection that was better than I have had in years but when I laid down, it pretty much went away. I got up and walked from the bedroom to the kitchen, pretty bummed out and by the time I got there I had a hard on again. It was standing straight out. Not at an upwards angle like when I was young but not bad!
Is this venous leak? Why when I lay down did it go away?
Today was a good start. I believe it would work for penetration but not ready for action.
Next time I'll try 15 or 16 units. I'm pretty happy to see the results today. Not quite there yet though.
Again, my mix is:
30-1-25.

I just received my Trimix yesterday. The instructions said to use 5 units to begin with so I did. This resulted in a semi erection that wasn't capable of penetration.
My instructions say to increase the dosage by 2 to 5 unit increments up to a maximum of 50 units until desired results are reached.
Is increasing by 2 to 5 units good advice? It seems like I've read that this may be increasing too much at a time.
My mix is as follows:
Papaverine 30mg/ml. Phentolamine 1 mg/ml. PGE 25 mg/ml

Help please. I want to try another dose this afternoon. I have 14 days to see if this mix gives the desired results and if not they will change the mix one time for free. But I only have 13 more days.

Thanks

You're not supposed to use Trimix more often than about every other day. It's tough on your tissue from the injection, and you don't want and residual effects from the last dose putting you in the hospital.

I've been doing Trimix about a decade. Those first few times are weird, because you're titrating and figuring out your dose. You might not get good results, even several times, but then when you hit the right dose *boom* you'll have a rock hard erection for an hour or two, maybe even more. Use caution, this is a strong medication and every use might be a little different.

At our age we all have the symptoms of venous leak. I have the same problem. A cock ring will help that. I can not penetrate without using a cock ring. I probably have tried 20 different designs before I got the right one. Try stretchy silicone ones until you get the right size and tension. Stay away from the metal ones.

Thanks. Information on the web is varied and contradictory. Most places say no more than 3 times per week. Most places say wait a minimum of 24-48 hours between injections. I did a quick search and came up with this right off:
"In general, it is safe to use TriMix up to three times per week, with at least 24-48 hours between injections. Overuse can increase the risk of complications, such as scarring or priapism, so it's crucial to follow your healthcare provider's instructions."

I don't plan on using it daily. I am under a time limit to find a dose that works. I have 14 days to find my dose. This seems almost impossible though. If I can't use it more than 3 times weekly that is 6 injections total to find what works. Up to 50 units. They have recommended starting at 5 units. That leaves 5 more opportunities. That means bumping up each dose by 10 units to be able to reach their maximum by the 14 day limit. I haven't increased my doses by 10 units though due to fear of priapism. I'm at 11 now and see some success so I don't think they will have to replace the meds. I feel I'm pretty close to the right dose as it is.

What Vinny said is good advice:

Due to your time crunch, if you can, order these immediately: https://www.amazon.com/PerfectFit-Brand-Xact-Fit-Stackable-Silicone/dp/B01J84E5OK?ref_=ast_sto_dp

Those rings may not be the very best for you but it gives you a wide variety of sizes to try in a short time. Be sure to visit the "Cock Ring Thread" in the "Members Only" sub-forum: https://www.franktalk.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=21302 If you can order Amazon from your current location you might be able to get them Monday. Don't delay.

I'll also add; if you end up using 50 units (.5ml) then you should look at getting a stronger mix. Where you're at now at 10 to 15 units is a good range for efficiency and economy. The 11 units you tried plus the right (for you) cock ring might just be the ticket for you.

Thanks for the links to the rings. Hopefully I can find the dose that will work without a ring though. I do have one of these.https://xialla.com/products/xialla
I haven't tried it yet though. The VED that I have has a large diameter tube and I was concerned that trying to stretch the ring over the tube would damage it. Maybe I should give it a go.

The only rings meant to be stretched over a VED should really be called “constriction rings”. They are designed to be used with a VED. You generally only find them for sale from medical device businesses.

After pumping up to erect in the VED, the constriction ring slides off the end of the VED into the base of the penis, severely cutting off blood flow in or out of the penis. Use of constriction rings is time limited as the tissue is slowly be starved of oxygen. (Very little fresh oxygenated blood entering the penis).

I think what most of us are talking about here are regular cock rings, not constriction rings. A regular cock ring will generally let blood flow into the penis but slows blood flowing out. That is what you commonly see for sale online and in sex shops.

Curious: I don't know of any arteries in the corpora cavernosa. There must be capillaries, because some guys draw blood into the syringe to verify the needle's correct position, but I've never heard any medical people or Frank Talkers mentioning that there is a problem such as you picture.

[bldoink]

There is a cavernous artery running down the middle of each cavernosal chamber. I've never had an issue with it.
