Cialis Treatment plus other Recommendation

Long time member, first-time poster. More on my condition, background and story to follow in a subsequest post.

For now…this background:
I’m 38. I’ve been off Propecia for 8 months. I have PFS. I have had some bright spots when it comes to the effects, but overall, I need to fix a lot going on right now. I have had shrinkage in penis and testicles, among typical PFS ED issues.

One thing I’m trying to decide is a Cialis regiment.
I’ve used 10mg doses of Cialis from time to time and had good success with it. Even helping me for 2-4 days of pretty decent erections while “getting with” my girlfriend.

My doctor had suggested gong on daily dose, since I’m pretty active in my sex life (trying to be at least despite these issues).

I’m starting to read that there’s hope for fixing the softening/shrinking of penis with tadalafil. I also noted some other suggestions of supplements: horny goat weed, l-arginine, etc.

Questions:
a) Is a low-dose cialis daily a good way to go? i.e. anyone have experience with this?
b) What other treatments along with cialis would others recommend? i.e. any truth to some of these supplements being worth a try?
c) In starting a daily dose regiment, my doctor suggested I FIRST take like 10mg to “get a good baseline to start”… then do the 2.5mg daily dose. Although I should just listen to my doctor, I’m not yet convinced he is really in-tune to my PFS claims (will be seeing about another doctor likely).
So, any others do the daily dose and had similar way to start off? Or does it even matter, and I should just start on 2.5mg daily?

I’m hoping that Cialis will help improve the ongoing structure of my penis (maybe eventually back to normal without it), and of course, have a better/normal experience with sex. This, of course, if a SAFE intermediary step as we/I find out more about the PFS condition in hopes of finding the cure to all of the issues.

Thanks for any help/direction.

I use cialis. It helps me too but its definately helping from a different angle than root cause. So its really symptomatic relief but that is important and very helpful.

As for how to use it - that is up to you to establish yourself. Everyone is different. Personally i started with 10mg, too. I took it every day for a a few weeks and very quickly you’ll find (well countless people have reported this) that you built a tolerance and the good effects dwindle. To avoid this you need to cycle the drug. Many two-three days per week Even take some weeks off to maintain effect.

There’s no harm taking a big dose the odd time either. (say, 20mg).

Levitra is decent too but i think cialis is the best.

Yeah i do this, and have to cycle. If i use the same thing 3 days in a row it does nothing.

Cycle between cialis, viagra, levitra, hgw, and arginine, using the later 2 only once every couple of weeks, throw some yohimbine in there every now and again.

Dont go below 5mg of cialis, as it does not much for me.

This should allow you to have sex 7-10 times a week.

I have this side as well. Pretty bad shrinkage and changes in structure.

Anyone with a line on buying REAL cialis online?

Shippen recommended daily DHT gel for me on the penis and the area between the scrotum and ass. Sorry for graphic nature. But, he said that area has high absorption potential.

He did say he felt this “potentially” reversible unless maybe you’re on the 5 yr or more mark. So, I guess it’s important to start a regime.

Mens Rea is correct, you can quickly develop a tolerance to many medications and supplements such as cialis, viagra, l-arganine, and Horny Goat Weed. They need to be cycled to avoid building tolerances to them.

Thanks for all the advice. After seeing the 10mg taken for a 3-day stint work well for me, my doctor felt I would be better taking 2.5mg a day since I’m trying to have sex more regularly than that. But it sounds like a lot of people are saying there is a tolerance issue.

I’m surprised (and happy) that 10mg does well for me, but obviously hope it’s not short lived. I think I will try to do the 10mg once a week, as I get a close to 2-3 days of decent erections…then Horny Goat Weed and L-Arganine alternate days.

Recommended doses for those two?

Also, still would like to hear if anyone else has any ongoing success with a daily does of Cialis. I’d like to believe that taking a daily pill would help my ED problem daily (ironic, not in a very funny way).

my urologist has just prescribed me a nightly 2.5 mg cialis regimen for the next month. how has low dose cialis worked for you guys? cialis seems to be the most effective drug on here for people and i dont want to ruin my experience with it and develop a tolerance. I want to obey my doctors orders, but im curious how its worked for others. please get back to me asap. thankyou all.

#8

No less than 5 for me.

In regards to tolerance only use every 3-4 days.

#9

I took 10 mg a few hours ago and am feeling nothing whatsoever. Even with stimulation nothing. This is a huge bummer of Christmas :confused: especially when my girlfriend is coming over soon. Has anyone else had no reactions to cialis. I think I might up the dose even though I was supposed to just take 2.5

#10

Sometimes Viagra and Cialis work amazing for me. Sometimes I literally notice nothing, even with a higher dose. Sometimes, I will not notice anything untill 24 hours later.

I have read that taking alpha1 blockers like Minipress will make Cialis work perfectly with no issues. I have not tried the combination personally but I am almost 100% sure it would. Just a bit scared of lowering blood pressure too much.

Keep us updated with your experiments.

okay thats reassuring because literally a week ago i had great sex and i cant pinpoint what could have messed that up. the cialis certainly didnt help but ill give it another try. thats interesting about minipress. has anyone had good success with it?

i think that on this site when someone posts a suggestion he should also write if it would bring just temporal benefits, just to fix the symptoms or it can bring lasting effects , it’s something that can heal too. Because one’s approach to the drug would be completely different; an example if i know that for 2 months i have no chances to have sex i don’t need to take a drug that could help me to have an erection in that period, whilst i should take something that could help me in the future, on the contrary if i’m having sex tonight i need somehing different. It’s important to specify it otherwise suggestions wouldn’t be useful. This is something i’ve noticed in almost every discussion here in propeciahelp.
