To anyone taking Cialis daily — did you develop a dependence on it?

[Goel]

...enjoy a 3x week sex schedule...

I just wanted to share my experience in case some of you older guys like me are curious about all this.

3x/week isn't "sharing", you're bragging! : )

Mind you, I don't blame you I would be too!

Omg, generic cialis is $60 for the 5mg for a 90 day supply from a regular pharmacy.

 

[Dicky]

About 5 months. Daily 5 mg, then 10 mg.

FWIW, I have been taking 2.5mg/day for 3 years for an enlarged prostate. I am 58 and have not noticed any tolerance.

I did recently have my doc prescribe Viagra 100 mg so I could compare the effects with Cialis. I was gun shy taking that big of a dose to start, so I tried a third of tab. Even at that dosage I was noticing the flushed face stronger and faster than Cialis, perhaps due to taking on an empty stomach per instructions. After 30 minutes or so the head pressure started to subside, but it was quite distracting in the meantime. The main benefit was similar to Cialis, but began to fade after a couple of hours or so. I will keep it on hand for short notice performances, but for me, Cialis is smoother and good for two days using a third to half of a 20 mg tab.

I have noticed one downside to these products. I can perform quite well without taking them when my T level is high and it has been 3 days or longer and I'm not tired. The pleasure sensations seem to be much more sensitive and satisfying than when I am on either V or C. Has anyone else noticed diminished sensitivity when using either of these?

I have noticed this as well. But back when i was taking it my sensitivity was quite high so it didn’t matter. The sex was better on cialis so the buildup compensated

I have tried everything! Citrulline 5 grams 2X per day by far works the best and zero sides for me! it helps with flow along with erections and helps keep my BP in a better spot! It is dirt cheap to top it off!

I don’t believe there is a tolerance to cialis. Perhaps whatever situation was going on to need cialis in the first place deteriorated to make it less effective. A lot of you guys are also getting cialis from unreliable sources and I don’t care what anybody says it’s not as good as the real thing. Take it from somebody who has purchased it from India online and from American pharmacies.

when you say the real thing, do you mean name brand or generic but just from a US pharmacy?

I would just like to add something I discovered about a side of cialis that may surprise you, bad breath. Not directly, but a result of acid reflux. This problem came and went, I couldn nail it down. I went to a doctor who refer me to ENT
no luck.
Finally, by the process of elimination i figured it out
I liked how cialis made me feel, but the bad breath was deal killer for m.

yeah cialis can cause reflux. I notice that when I sleep especially.

5gr 2x/day? For 10gr total per day?

I ask because the “high strength” tablets I have are horse pills and are only 1200mg each.

I use powder just mix it in fresh water. Easier and cheaper IMO. drops you blood pressure so if you are low for some reason be careful and talk to your doctor.

You are pissing away your money!

Much cheaper to buy bulk powder.

3-6 grams/day split twice daily is more than enough.

The higher-end dose would be more effective for increasing systemic Arg concentrations.

Anyone been on Cialis for extended periods of time to comment on whether they became dependent on it? Granted if you had ED before taking it and it fixed it for you then I can see that being some form of dependence, but I’m mainly interested in people or anecdotes of others that have taken it daily for potentially years and could get it up before that, albeit maybe not as well, or took it for non-erection related reasons.

I’ve used it in the past and it works fine even at 5mg—probably too well—and am interested in taking it daily for the non-erection related benefits it gave me. I don’t want to develop ED years down the line if I stopped taking it, however.

Took probably 10-15 mg daily for a year straight, ful disclosure I do not have ED I was using it for performance and body building purposes. I have two opinions in my mind as to my current situation. Either a) I am only now achieving like 90% erections without Cialis, which is fine, I even have a legit prescription so it's not that big of a deal or B) and possibly more likely is that my erections now just feel lesser compared to a Cialis erection. Either way, psychologically you will feel like you have a dependence, even if your junk works fine.

How will it help you from a bodybuilding perspective? I hear it increases testosterone but mine is already high and I am taking 5 mg daily since early October 2021. I lift alot and was already in decent muscle shape but I was wondering if you have seen improvements in muscle hypertrophy and srength after using it.

A lot of guys will take a low dose prior to working out....apparently gives quite a pump as well as other reported benefits...https://www.nrpb.org/tadalafil-dosage-bodybuilding/

I don't think building a tolerance is a thing. if cialis is working worse for you have you considered maybe your hormones or arteries health are different than it was?

 

[Graham]

After experimenting I have found while far from perfect higher doses of viagra have more of a positive impact on ED then cialis does
