I found Flomax (Tamsulosin) to be a terrible drug for me. The side effects were horrible, including retrograde ejaculation and delayed orgasm sometimes anorgasmia; along with the other side effects commonly associated with Flomax. And, I did not find that it improved my BPH symptoms. When I switched to 5mg tadalafil daily along with 4 mg of terazosin I no longer had those issues. Everyone is different though.Did you switch to a different prescription or stop altogether and how is that affected peeing at night?
Start very low dose, over time increase dose. It did work for me but it was a very gradual increase. Took at least a year.My only problem with this is cialis, I get heartburn,or acid reflus,or whatever you want to call it. Any suggestion?
I use 5mg and initially I got terrible low back pain, but it went away after a week or so , so perhaps your headaches will diminish as well. Good luck with it.After 6 years of having ED issues and believing it was mostly due to inadequate testosterone levels etc. I tried 5mg of cialis... and I was more touchy feely with my girl than ever before. Point being... forget about erection strength etc... what does it actually do for you mentally? Does it increase Nitric Oxide?
When I tried Cialis about 3 years ago (20 mg version) it gave me massive upper leg pains. Hard to describe... just constant aches for 24 hours straight. While I was just concentrating on erection strength... I never concentrated on other areas of the body... as to what this pill gives you.
The funny thing with the 5mg version of Cialis and even the 2.5 mg version.... I don't necessarily feel "in the mood" right after taking the pill. I actually feel more in the mood the day after. And minimal to zero side effects the day after. For example... even the 5mg version gives me headaches now... right after taking it. But 24 hours later headaches are gone... and it still gives you a decent erection.
I'm a true believer that low Nitric Oxide levels cause more issues with ED than anything else. If only we could take these crazy side effects out of the equation... it's a wonder drug. As for over the counter supplements like L-Arginine and L-Citrulline it doesn't give me anything except massive side effects. At least I know Cialis works with low doses... now only if I could dial this in more... with no side effects. Anyone know how to reduce or eliminate the side effects?
My entire life I've never had side effects to anything. Funny how we get older.... everything bothers you. lol smh. Life is crazy. But everyone should be looking closely into Nitric Oxide levels.
What nutritional supplements do you recommend? TxLots of things can increase nitric oxide. You can even test yourself simply, safely and affordably at home with nitric oxide (sic) test strips.
You may be able to take a daily 2.5 mg and your symptoms may go away after a few weeks.
You may have to add some nutritional supplements to get your nitric oxide to an optimal level in addition to using the Cialis.
20 mg can be a bit much. I talke 2.5 mg. or 5 mg. Both doses- along with maybe 10 or 20 mgs viagra can do the trick for meI ordered a bunch of 20MG Cialis and I'm not sure what I'm getting out of it. i still end up more often than not trying a 100MG Sildenafil or one of the under the tongue versions, (like 125MG).
I view these things as hacks right now trying to get it straight so it's not a huge deal. Also I have Trimix and seems like a minimum of .10 ml gets me going but sometimes a little too hard as it hurts a bit (Girthy as hell).
But my girlfriend, 20 years my juinor goes nuts when I do Trimix. I want to lower my Trimix but hate wasting a "shot day" to find out I didn't use enough. Everything else I take seems hit and miss or time of day. My weight is the lowest it's been 30 years. Right about 210, 6'-1/2". Sometimes I don't need anything particularly early in the morning or mid-afternoon.
Looks like for the NO benefits 20 MG Cialis is probably too much then is that how most of you handle this?
I also take 500mgs of arginine almost daily and I have seen a boost. Maybe it is slightly bioavailable?I started researching and taking NO boosters a couple of months ago, so take my input with a grain of salt.
I came upon a researcher/promoter named Nathan S. Bryan. He is a PHD that worked with the gentleman who discovered NO.
Apparently there are two (at least) pathways for the body to product Nitric Oxide. I don't recall the specific names but one path is through the endothelium, and that pathway uses Arginine. According to some published studies however, taking Arginine orally is not an effective way to boost NO because the stomach breaks down the Arginine and it therefore cannot be used to make NO. L-Citrulline converts to Arginine (I think in the Kidneys) and is much more bioavailable than Arginine taken orally.
The other path is the Nitrate-Nitrite path and converts nitrates consumed in foods into nitrites. Those nitrites make their way to the mouth (though saliva?) and if the mouth flora is in good order, will convert to NO.
The problem, according to Bryan, is that mouth flora is killed by fluoride. This eliminates the effectiveness of the Nitrate-Nitrite path to creating NO.
Bryan has a product (of course he does) that chemically creates NO in your mouth as it dissolves. Without the need for any bodily support other than saliva.
So I started taking that lozenge a month ago along with L-citrulline and fermented beet root powder.
Note: I've been on 10mg Cialis for a couple of years.
Morning: Lozenge
Mid-afternoon or preworkout: Fermented beet root powder and L-Citrulline
Evening: Lozenge
My goals are improved health/cardiac function/longevity. There is a lot of research on NO that seems to point to it's lack as the causal or contributing effect to many or most aging related diseases.
I hope this was useful in some way. Apologies if I rambled.
I didn't mean to imply that it has no bioavailability. I should have chosen my words more carefully.I also take 500mgs of arginine almost daily and I have seen a boost. Maybe it is slightly bioavailable?
Is the Lozenge Neo40?I started researching and taking NO boosters a couple of months ago, so take my input with a grain of salt.

N1O1. It works well. I think the beet powder and citrine also work very well.Is the Lozenge Neo40?
