I took propecia in early 2009 and stopped early 2010. I was 20 years old when i started and 21 when i stopped. I am 25 now and i suffer from severe ED and loss of libido. The symptoms did not start until months AFTER quitting the drug. I have met a grl that i sreriously like and i need to get this shit taken care of before i blow my brains out.

I have few questions.

DOES CIALIS/VIAGRA WORK? I understand that it’s different for everyone but for the most part what are people with this condition saying about cialis? I want to buy 5 20 mg cialis pills. How much should I take before i think i am about to have sex? How much is a dangerous amount to take?

other than that i am thinking the only cury is excercie/working out running and eating nothing but health and taking vitamins.

pleese help me!

You just have to try and see if they work. They helped me when I was still using Propecia (and did not know how bad I was due to it)… but after discontinuing Propecia, like you I got MUCH WORSE and neither Cialis / Viagra have any effect. I was on Propecia for ages though.

can you achieve an erection at all without viagra? do you at least get a “soft-on” or so to speak?

What happens in my case isn’t extremely relevant I suspect because I took this over 10 years, but I get no erection whatsoever even with 100 mg Viagra and stimulation.

When I was having the most trouble with erections… I took 10 mg of cialis and it worked great for a weekend. It wasn’t long before I had to go 10 mg Friday, and 10 mg again Saturday for good erections on the weekend. Then I went to 20 mg twice a week. I never went over that I don’t think.

If you find cialis doesn’t work you could try adding uroxatral/alphuzosin. It’s an alpha blocker that helps relax things and definitely increases the effectiveness of cialis. Proceed with caution though, it could lower blood pressure. If you do take both, don’t take them too close together. Try one of each on different days first. If you do them both the same day, take them hours apart.

Take care.
