| 1 | ED | Taking Cialis was a HUGE mistake. Really bad headaches and sleeping problems the first 36 hours. For 2 days following, had terrible headaches, stomach aches, severe fever and back pain. I've been miserable since I took it, never again - threw remaining pills in the garbage. This product should be taken off the market! | M | 46 | 1 times 20mg | 5/21/2013 | 5 | Other meds made me need it | Seeing a haze after sex | M | 38 | 1 days 5mg | 5/3/2013 | 4 | ED due to diabetes | When I first started this medication, I had quite a bit of nasal congestion but that seemed to subside over time. I had no other ill effects until after about a year, when I had blurry vision on occasion. I reduced the dosage to 10 mg and had no problems. Within the past year the effects don't last a full 36 hours and my erection is not as strong. | If you are considering Cialis, please carefully follow the dosage instructions given by your doctor. Do NOT double your dosage without speaking to the doctor. This is not like an aspirin or Tylenol. More isn't better unless the doctor says it is safe and may help. Also, be VERY careful about ordering Cialis from online pharmacies. Many are scams. | M | 58 | 3 years 20 1X AN | 5/3/2013 | 4 | ED | I went thru facial flushing, nasal congestion and the right leg pain, I don't know why but the 5mg daily pill gave me headaches and the leg pains.What i did was to break in 3 pieces the 20mg pill which elimintaed the leg pains, still get some facial flushness but the erections are as hard as when i took the 5mg daily or the 20mg. i recommend smaller doses of the 20mg. And for the leg pains advil or tylenol will help. | M | 45 | 4 years 20mg 1X AN | 4/30/2013 | 2 | ED | Massive headache and thigh pain. | Worked great for what it was designed to do. But I got a huge headache about 18 hours taking the drug and incredible thigh pain after 48 hours. Side effects are too intense to bear. | M | 38 | 1 days 20mg 1X D | 4/30/2013 | 1 | To shrink prostate and for ED | Severe aches in lower back and hamstrings that prevented me from sleeping. | The manufacturer says the aches go away in a couple of days. What they don't tell you is that they are referring to people who take single doses for ED. Those who take it daily for both ED and BPH will be in constant pain. The manufacturer also claims that only 3% experience such pain. But if you peruse the internet forums on the subject, it seems that at least 70% experience it. | M | 61 | 7 days 5mg 1X D | 4/23/2013 | 1 | Erectile dysfunction | Bad leg pain, bad lower back pain, wife said eyes are red , works for ed not worth the pain it causes to the body. | M | 40 | 3 days 25 | 4/22/2013 | 5 | blood pressure medication | Extreme leg cramps, calfs, knees, sometime thighs and even feet. They don't happen at same time or not each time. The wierd thing is that it affect my right side 90% of time. The cramps alway happen in bed after sex, but has also happend during. Rarely, I've had to stop in the act and walk it off--a big mood killer Yes I get the dizzyness, eyes red, flushing within 2 hours and even later after 6+ hrs I seem to freeze/chill easy at times, cold enough to shiver. The cramps are the worst side effect for me, I have found heat helps releave the cramps. | Much better than Viagra, I couldn't take the side effects. 20MG Last three days. After reading the other posts on this website, I will now cut them in half and may decide to take at bedtime to avoid most of these side effects. I Hate the side effects but love the results. | M | 61 | 2 years 1X AN | 4/14/2013 | 1 | Ed/lack of arousal from lexapro | Initially started feeling pain right thigh after 1 dose, 5mg. Now 2nd day, awake 4:30am, excruciating lower back pain, also in thighs, calves, buttocks, feels like cramping. Awful, cannot sleep. Thanks for this forum, thought I was going crazy. Just took 200mg ibuprofen, hoping it helps. | Sounds like the "magic pill"...? Maybe for some, but not worth the minor benefits for me. And, orgasm was entirely less fulfilling. No thanks. Gonna try the progressive labs herbal stuff, worked in the past. | M | 51 | 2 times 5g 1X D | 4/9/2013 | 5 | ED related to low Testosterone | Minimal side effects. Some aches, and minor headache the next day -- but worth it. | Started taking it 2 days ago, 5MG per day. Had morning wood for the first time in months after the 1st night. Satisfying erection on the 2nd night, and easily aroused by the wife. Need to experiment with dosing, because I don't believe I will need to take it everyday based on what some have some here. Plan to use maybe 10MG on a Friday before a weekend, and believe it should last a few days. Wish there was a generic, because this stuff is not cheap! | M | 37 | 2 days 5 MG 1X D | 4/1/2013 | 1 | pulmonary hypertension | headache,face flushed, neck swollen,cough, bad indigestion, leg pain soreness 2nd day. alot worse 3rd with thigh & back pain. woke up midnite wasn't sure if needed to call paramedics so much indigestion. didn't take it 4th day & back in bed leg, back & thigh pain. Wish i'd seen these comments before trying. Dr said some patients having bettr breathing on it. | Was approved for pulmonary hypertension. some +of these side effects can be permanent so wouldn't advise any1 to take it!! Take hemp oil if u hav a ED problem! | M | 62 | 3 days 5mg 1X D | 3/30/2013 | 2 | ED | Heartburn, tightness in chest, headaches, low back pain. The pain started about 24hrs after taking my first dose. The side effects have been horrible. The headaches, heartburn, tightness in chest but worst of all the pain in the lower back. keeping me up at night and making me very sore all over, similar to bad flu. | I had little explanation on what to expect. I took 1/2 of 20 mg and didnt feel anything. I took the other 1/2 2hrs later and for the next 24hrs had great erections with no side effects. I then took another 20 mg (whole pill) 24hrs later and the side effects have been horrible. The headaches, heartburn, tightness in chest but worst of all the pain in the lower back. Keeping me up at night and very sore all over. The erections were great but not worth the side effects. | M | 54 | 4 days 20 1X W | 3/24/2013 | 4 | ED | Lower back pain started very bad after taking Cialis every other day for over 4 years. The first day it happened I could barely stand up in getting out of bed. No side effects that I was aware of before then. I've had the back pain now for over 4 months and continue to take Cialis. The back pain in worst when I first get up and I can hardly bend over to tie my shoes. The pain is only there when I try and straighten up at first. It goes away in about 10 minutes, but is there very day. | It worked very well at first every time for the full 36 hrs and sometimes longer. I took Viagra before that, but it doesn't last long enough and you can't always count on having sex during the 4 hour time it lasts. With 36 hours there is more opportunity. After taking Cialis for almost 5 years every other day it doesn't last as long as before. It would easily work any time during the 36 hours and longer. I only take it every days ( 48 hours ) at the same time. It usually has full effect within two hours after taking. In order to eliminate the back pain I may go back on Viagra or experiment with reduced dosage to see what happens. | M | 64 | 2 days 20 MG 1X O | 3/18/2013 | 4 | erectile disfuntion | severe hip pain debilitating in fact going to have xray in case a fracture . | it helped with erection but pain isn't worth it anymore i mean i love sex but if the pain im having if from the cealis its a tough call. | M | 45 | half of 5m 1X AN | 3/14/2013 | 3 | ED | Worked great at first, but then excruciating back and thigh pains started. Second day of pains now, no sign of improvement. Can't find any comfort sitting, standing, lying down, anywhere. | I don't know what to say. As long as there were no side effects it was great, I really felt confident that I could have intercourse without "failing". Now I'm afraid to take it again as I'm on my second night without sleep and my second day without work. Such a pity. If I knew that it would last a couple of days then disappear even continuing to take it, I'd last out the pain, but who's to say? | M | 48 | 3 days 5 1X D | 3/5/2013 | 2 | mild ED | Two days after taking I developed intense lower back pain and tightness in my legs. Still experiencing this on day 4. Also blocked nose and headache lasting for days. | This drug did work for me in terms of ED, even on day 3 after a single 20mg dose. But side effects are too intense to justify continued use. | M | 40 | 1 days 20 1X D | 1/18/2013 | 1 | ED | Extreme lower back and leg pain. | I started taking 5mg on Sat.morning and was in the ER on a Morphine drip on Wed. due to the horrible lower back and even worse leg pain.I have been off the pill since Tues.morning and the symptoms are slowly going away.Its to bad too because the product worked instantly for me.Great erections.Going to see my Doc today to see what else we can do.Cialis is NOT worth the side effects. | M | 43 | 4 days 5 1X D | 1/3/2013 | 5 | better/faster erections | some facial flushing and nasal congestion. Allegra fixed the congestion. Occasional minor headache easily treated with ibuprofen. | This stuff works great! I am a healthy 56 year old male that usually has sex 3-4 times per week. I tried this as at my age it takes longer to achieve an erection and the recovery period is longer as well. Usually within a couple of hours of taking dose I get vein bulging, super hard erections. Wake up with really hard morning wood for at least the next few days often in the night as well. Tend to take it on Friday around 4:00 p.m. and have had sex with my wife as many as 5 times over the weekend but usually around 3 times as she gets tired and sore. Works again like in my 20's as all I have to do is think about sex and it's up. | M | 56 | 2 years 10mg 1X W | 12/28/2012 | 3 | Maintaing erection | About 1 hr after dose, minor face flushing, sensation of nasal sinus congestion, but not detracting. Minor tingling in lips. Later on 2nd day, significant back ache, started in lower back, by late afternoon 2nd day (about 18 hrs after single dose), entire back in pain, like I had thrown my back out after WAY over exerting myself (I'm in very good shape). Tylenol took care of pain. Back pain was better 3rd day, but then returned during afternoon 3rd day, pretty debilitating if you had planned on doing ANYTHING for several days after that only dose. Back pain kept me on the couch for 2 days (and counting) after that single dose. Hard to think about taking it again, maybe a much lesser dose? | Great erections a few hours after the initial dose, nice plump feeling all the next day with instant erections when wanted, maintaining erections as long as I wanted it. Nice wood greeting the morning of 2nd day after dose. | M | 59 | 1 days 20mg 1X AN | 12/3/2012 | 1 | ED | Flu-like symptoms, headache, facial flushing, indigestion, overall miserable feeling. Erections were not as stong as with other ED medicines, not as rapid to get either. Overall weak effect with numerous negative side-effects. | Levitra & Viagra work FAR better than this, with shortened side-effect duration. | M | 43 | 1 days 15 MG 1X D | 11/28/2012 | 1 | ED | M | 49 | 20mg 1X D | 11/24/2012 History | 3 | ED | Headache, Anxiety, Pain in upper legs and feet | Gave me an excellent erection. Effects never lasted anywhere near 36 hours, but nasty sides lasted the next day and part of day after. | M | 31 | 1 weeks 20 mg 1X AN | 10/17/2012 | 1 | Sexual enhancement | I took cialis once with zero side effects and very pleased for the next 3 days. Took cialis again the following week and all possible side effects were present and the severity of which took me by surprise. Bloodshot eyes, stuffy nose and flush feeling were the first present. On second day flu like symptoms kept me awake for the night (odd feeling like I felt as though I were dying) third day had severe back pain and powerful headache, ibuprofen didn't work well. Fourth day, headache weakened but still very present. Fifth day is looking a lot like say four. Had to miss work from the pain and completely thrown off schedule. The intense side effects countered sexual benefit. | M | 42 | 2 days 20mg | 10/10/2012 | 5 | MaintAining erection | Indigestion | Works really well | M | 75 | 3 months 5 1X D | 9/23/2012 | 3 | ed | This drug works but for me the negatives outweigh the positives. I almost always experience severe back pain and indigestion a day or two after taking. My thoughts are try some natural alternatives and make some lifestyle changes - you might be surprised. If that doesn't work then give calls try in small doses. | M | 43 | 1 years 10mg | 8/26/2012 | 1 | ED | 24 hours later terrific (sleep preventing) pain in lower back, thighs and calves, cramping, blurred vision and headache with almost flu-like symptoms and tinnitus as well! Sickest I have felt in years and 5 days later still much the same. Will never ever do that again (and it did little for the ED either!) | Arghhh.. If you ever wish to experience 4 days with little opr no sleep and a pain as if your bones are disintegrating try Cialis! | M | 62 | 1 days 20mg 1X D | 8/26/2012 | 1 | stronger erections | terrible leg aching--feel like my legs are very heavy...bad muscle fatigue all over body..feel like I been in bad car wreck...get headaches sometimes as well. Meds work great for purpose, but not work all the physical issues associated with taking...feel like I am poisining my body | FDA needs to take off market !!! | M | 51 | 4 weeks 10 mg 2X W | 8/21/2012 | 5 | bph | heartburn. easily treated but occurs daily. | M | 68 | 90 days 5 1X D | 8/19/2012 | 4 | ED | Side effects: Flushing. Lower back pain and occasional muscle aches in leggs. | M | 52 | 3 years 2X W | 8/13/2012 | 5 | ed and bhp | none | This is fantastic makes you feel like you are 30 years old, and works better for enlarged prostrate than terasosin. | M | 63 | 120 days 10 1X D | 8/9/2012 | 4 | mild ed due to oversex | almost none. not sure heart rate of 50 is related since I swim and Zuba regularly | Had submitted a review in 2007. Cialis still works most the time but have to increase dose to 1/2 of 20mg. Same girl friend, have sex 3 times/week, reduced from 7 to 10/week when last review. Not bad for 62 yrs man. | M | 62 | 4 years 1/2 of 20 2X W | 7/24/2012 | 5 | ED | Mild transient headache and moderate heartburn | Cialis worked great! Took the first dose and an hour later got a firm and lasting erection. Made love to my wife like never before. Did cause delayed ejaculation, but my wife did not complain. Headache and heartburn improved after about 5 days of use. Definitely recommend. | M | 50 | 7 days 5mg 1X D | 7/13/2012 | 3 | ED | My blood pressure is 120\80, my percentage of body fat is 20.9% I am in great shape and workout 5 days a week, I took one pill of 20mg and gave me severe pain in my thighs and buttocks that lasted 9 weeks, I strongly recommend not to workout legs if you take cialis instead do legs stretch twice a day, otherwise you might have an injury call pyriform syndrome. | M | 53 | 1 days 20mg | 6/20/2012 | 5 | Regular | If I take it for 7 or 8 days, I get pain in my lower back and upper legs. I have to get off of it for a couple days. | The thing about Cialis is dosage, dosage, dosage. It can be a terrible and painful drug if you take too much. 20 mg would give me severe pain for days! I have experimented and found that 1/8 of a 20 mg pill taken daily works just fine. I have to use my very fine precision saw (x-acto) to cut the pill into approx 1/8 sizes. Tedious, but it also saves me money. Cialis blows away Viagra since it is more focused/directed in its desired effects and the side effects are much more tolerable (at least in my case). | M | 57 | 1 months 2.5 mg 1X D | 6/14/2012 | 3 | For Harder Erections | Severe pain in my lower back, butt, and upper rear thighs. | The pain is so bad, I have trouble sleeping. Taking Tylenol alleviates the pain after about 30 minutes, and lasts about 6 hours. It is much easier to obtain and maintain an erection, and my erection is much harder, which is my reason for taking it in the first place. I will probably only take it as necessary as opposed to the daily dose, and will take with pain killer if at all. | M | 47 | 7 days 5mg 1X D | 5/22/2012 | 3 | BPH | knees and hips ache. I thought at first because I was painting interior rooms of house and climbing up and down ladder. Also been experiencing heartburn even though I take a heartburn medicine daily | Hopefully these side effects will diminish. The positive side is pretty nice. | M | 63 | 5 days 5MG 1X D | 5/21/2012 | 1 | erectile dysfunction | Severe back and hip pain unable to sleep because of pain. Subsided and then reoccurred. | Don't take this stuff! | M | 64 | 1 days 15 1X D | 5/19/2012 | 5 | To maintain sustained erections. | Some 12 hours after taking Cialis, I first felt pain as I was trying to fall asleep. It was a sharp stabbing pain in my right thigh. I put a heating pad on it which caused the stabbing sensation to go away. The next morning that thigh felt sore when I pressed on it, but it didn't really bother me. A week later when I used 20 mg again there were NO side effects. | Without Cialis I can only maintain an erection for 10 minutes. With it, I can have intercourse as long as I want, 30 minutes easy. It makes me feel in control. I took the Cialis three hours before sex. Two hours after taking it I was walking around with my girlfriend and noticed that my penis was secreting precoital lubricating fluid, something it had not done in quite a few years. Also, up to 48 hours afterwards I experienced spontaneous arousals. | M | 70 | 2 weeks 20 mg 1X AN | 5/14/2012 History | 3 | ED | I have had no side affects of any kind,took one 10mg. 4 hours prior to having sex with my girlfriend,couldn't get an errection,it was like I had taken nothing! | Would I be ok to try and take 2 10mg.of Cialis to see if that makes a difference? | M | 69 | 2 days 10 mg. 1X D | 5/12/2012 | 5 | ED | None at all. | Unbelievable med. It was my first time taking a drug like this. It sure corrected my ED problem. Take it every morning and my center member comes to attention whenever I want it to. The wife isn't really used to the new sexy me. LOL. I would recommend this med on a daily basis to every guy with this problem. Also it gave me back my self confidence. | M | 63 | 14 days 5MG 1X D | 5/5/2012 | 4 | E.D. | I tried a larger dose at first (half of a 20 mg), which gave me acid stomach pain, leg cramps and backache. On the smaller dose, I have no real side effects..yet. | The lower dose is perhaps not as effective, but it works well enough for me. If you are having bad side effects, try a lower daily dose....it also helps keep the blood pressure down somewhat too. | M | 57 | 2 weeks 2.5 1X D | 5/3/2012 | 4 | ED | Throbbing in the muscle of my lower right leg. I have isolated it to Cialis, but I don't understand why just one muscle. The hips are legs are stiff after sitting a little while. 51 years old. I don't wanna give this up. I take it for masturbation. | M | 52 | 21 days 5 MG 1X D | 4/17/2012 | 1 | ED | next day after - headaches, mostly mitigated by Advil. At 48 hour mark - thigh pain, very painful, lasted 3 days. pain spread to calves as well. No back pain fortunately. | It worked but, for me it was not worth the side effects. I work out regularly and was able to quickly isolate this pain as being due to Cialis. Advil helps but not completely. I will be looking for natural solutions rather than messing up my body with this stuff. | M | 38 | 1 times 20mg 1X AN | 4/15/2012 | 1 | ED | Delighted this site exists, Terrible muscle pains now 48 hours later. Brain seems fried. unable to sleep with the pain. | Certainly works but not worth the side effects. Would advise starting with 5mg if at all. I certainly won't rust to use this again.. | 61 | 20MG 1X D | 4/9/2012 | 5 | Sudden emergence of ED | Nothing, nada, niente, zero. | Take 10 mg every 2-3 days. Service my 46 yr wife to her full satisfaction every 3-4 days, and keep my 34 yr mia noi pleasantly impressed whenever we meet (about once a week). Works more reliably than the "original recipe" used to 20 years back, although still miss a beat here and there when too much work stress. Am in an excellent physical shape, which helps the performance and keeps any side effects out of my happiness. Swim 1 km at least 2 times a week, then do 2 series of 40 push-ups and sit-ups without skipping a beat. Take a lot of anti-aging supplements though, and steer clear of alcohol or anything stupid. | M | 65 | 3 months 10 10X M | 3/31/2012 | 4 | erection insurance | Lower back and hip pain. Slightly blurred vision. | 5-10mg helps me get and maintain very hard erections. Also slightly reduced penile sensitivity which helps me build to a better orgasm and heavy ejaculation. I've figured out though, that the back pain that comes a day or so after taking isn't just from thrusting and so forth during sex. I've taken Cialis enough times in anticipation of intercourse and then not had sex to suspect the back pain is from the drug, since there's no way I strained by back. Comments and questions welcome. | M | 59 | 3 years 10 1X AN | 3/31/2012 | 1 | my boyfriend takes it | I experience horrible side-effects after having sex with my boyfriend. The same as men taking it experience. Debilitating headaches and muscle aches. The awful side effects are almost total body resembling the the flu. I wonder if other women experienced this. It sounds crazy but I know it is the cialis. It must be pretty toxic to affect the partner too. | F | 52 | 6 years 10MG | 3/31/2012 | 1 | After radical prostatectomy | Severe back pain in lumbar region and some cramping in buttocks and thighs. Also some "acid reflux" and difficulty swallowing on 6 th day. | Symptoms appeared after second dose, and got worse after third dose. I tried splitting a 20 mg pill and taking a half dose and the back pain returned within an hour. The pain is terrible when laying down. Taking two 200 mg Advil provided relief within an hour. My doctor is moving me to Viagra. | M | 64 | 1 weeks 20 mg 3X W | 3/29/2012 | 5 | short-lived erections | Mild, recurring acid reflux, occasional mild headache and chest tightness each time after taking a dose, and occasional reduced penile sensitivity when erect. Side effects reduced with use and reduced dosage. | Since most of the reports here are quite frightening I need to remind anyone considering Cialis that millions of men around the world take it and most have zero or only mild side-effects. My doctor prescribed 20mg and told me to go home and masturbate to see how many orgasms I could have repeatedly, advice which I found odd but fun. The 20mg turned out to be too strong as I experienced unpleasant side effects, especially rapid heartbeat, reflux, and chest tightness. I reduced the dose to 10mg twice a week and the side effects lessened considerably, and now I take only 10mg per week. Super erections and orgasms the first few days but by day 6 the erections don't last as long as I'd like. I don't want to discount the leg and back agony some men have reported, but I do wonder how much of that pain had to do with Cialis and how much of the pain was a result of suddenly going from little sex to active sex. Intercourse is major exercise, especially if you are overweight, and can seriously strain a back and legs that are not strong and accustomed to it. My advice is to start having sex with your partner on top for a few weeks and go easy with the missionary and doggy positions until you build up your strength, and join a yoga class until you are in shape. Plus, if you have existing eye issues, migraines or back issues proceed with extreme caution and work with your doctor. | M | 60 | 2 years 10 2X W | 3/25/2012 | 5 | Firmer erections, younger partner | Have always had a little congestion, facial flushing, eyes a bit bloodshot, and minor headache within about 30 minutes and lasting a few hours, maybe overnight; all worth it for the benefits. Quick eye drops, nasal spray, and ibuprofen are an easy fix. Over the last year I do notice that I tend to have more noticeable lower back/back of thigh aches, and I think at times some neck aching, that come on about a day or two after taking it, and last two to three days, Still accepting the trade-off, a little exercise, stretching, and ibu or tylenol help well enough. Acid reflux...maybe, hard to tell, eating the right things and not a ton of alcohol helps anyway with that, perhaps the cialis makes me more prone to it but not an automatic problem in any way. | Pretty difficult to criticize the side effects that I get personally in light of the super hard, vein bulging erections...one 20 mg on a Friday at 4 pm, and I am good for three rounds through a Sunday "wake-up call" every weekend. My partner is 12 years younger, and always up for the game, so being there with the real goods matters; she knows from conversations with all of her friends that she's getting more wood at home than any of them, honestly, and tells me so. | M | 55 | 5 years 20 mg 1X W | 3/1/2012 | 1 | Want to maintain erection longer | The drug definitely worked for me. That said, the side effects are brutal. I had dizziness, chapped lips, flushing, blurry vision and an overall feeling of malaise. Does anone have any suggestions as to what might reduce these horrible side effects? | M | 52 | 1 days 20 | 2/20/2012 | 5 | More consistent erections | Have taken every day for up to 2 weeks. After several days I sometimes get a slight headache and muscle aches in legs - when those appear I stop taking it. | Effects last for days after stopping taking - works extremely well, natural - | M | 57 | 3 years 20 mg 1X D | 2/18/2012 | 5 | ED | None | I read through some of the awful side effects experienced by some Cialis users on this site and it made we worried about starting off with this medication. Eventually I started off with 5 mg. The next morning there were no effects, positive or negative. To be on the safe side I did not take any more that day. Then I took 5 mg the following day (day 3) and the morning after this I had a great erection. I followed the same pattern with holding off for a day and then taking 5 mg the next day. The results have been great erection-wise (the morning after taking it) with no side effects so far. Once I've tried taking 5 mg two days in a row and with no side effects. I've read quite a bit about people popping larger doses the first time they tried this. To my mind this is a mistake. Take it very slow to begin with and if you tolerate it over a period of time then increase the dosage slightly. My doctor gave me little guidance except for not going about 20 mg. My feeling is that the users of this drug are not getting enough guidance. | M | 49 | 20 days 5 1X D | 2/17/2012 | 5 | injury leading to weak erections | No negative side effects, other than an enhancement of existing pain during erection. | It hasn't made me 18, but it has made me 30. Very hard erections, but no size difference. Very quick to get an erection, also. I need almost no stimulation. When it's out of my system, it's gone. I may have some increased hardness a few day later, but that's about it. | M | 45 | 3 weeks 10 1X W | 2/17/2012 | 5 | occasional ED | Occasional stuffy nose, occasional acid reflux, wake up frequently with extreme hard on. | Works great for me I've taken for over 3 years. I found I really need to take only 1/3 of 20 mg. Usually take on Friday and good to go whenever necessary but usually only 2-3 times per weekend. I also will wake up with wood almost every day now. It wears my wife out so I have to pace my self. Oddly enough she doesn't know I take Cialis. She thinks I'm Dr. Studley on my own. What she doesn't know sure won't hurt her. | M | 56 | 3 years 7-10 mg 1X W | 2/14/2012 | 1 | Improve erections & possible BPH | What a NIGHTMARE! Gradual onset of severe leg pain along with fatigue and nausea! The chronic leg pain has been and continues to be so severe that I can't even push to poop and I've been unable to sleep all night despite sitting on a chair massager to ease the pain! This stuff is poison! | Now I understand why Lilly has a multi million dollar advertising blitz offering a free 30 day trial! To gain new customers since they have so few repeat ones! Their TV spot shows guys soaking in tubs because they apparently have to to ease the pain! I'm very healthy because I take very good care of myself. I have to since I'll soon be 53 and I have to do very physically demanding construction work. Despite my age I'm still one of the best and I'm now competing with many much younger men to keep my job. These Cialis side effects really hurt my job performance this week and I can't work today and beyond that it's to soon to tell. Never did I imagine that just trying low dose Cialis could ultimately cost me my job and career! Will I be just another victim of corporate greed! | M | 52 | 4 days 5 mg 1X D | 2/9/2012 | 1 | Erectile Dysfunction | After taking Cialis off and on over several years, I began to experience migraine like headaches, muscle aches in neck, upper arms, legs and back. The pain in my back was as though someone was kicking me every time I took a step. In addition, my teeth even hurt. At first not knowing this was the cause, attributed it to the flu. The next dose of Cialis produced the exact same symptoms and this time extreme lethargy. Not being too bright and thinking, no it could not be the Cialis, I tried it a third time months later. Yup, back to feeling like I was dying. The symptoms lasted about 10 days. Not sure what happened as this was a legitimate prescription filled at a local pharmacy so not a generic substitute. Perhaps I just cannot take it anymore. Too bad as this was an amazing drug when it worked. Guess I am just too damn old :) | M | 60 | 1 years 20 mg 1X D | 2/6/2012 | 5 | low test and no sex drive | Congestion pretty bad....little flushing of the face | M | 38 | 1 months 10mg | 2/5/2012 | 1 | ED after prostatectomy | severe flushing, terrible congestion in my nose and pressure in my nose and forehead. Rapid heart beat the next day, most of the day, but I don't know for sure if that's the cause but probably. I took the 10mg dose in the afternoon but I felt so terrible the rest of the day I couldn't even think about getting an erection. The next morning I felt better and I had the best erections since my surgery a year ago. | It's too bad the side effects are so bad for me because it works great and I could get hard very easily which I haven't been able to for 12 months. I'm not sure an erection is worth the side effects. Viagra side effects were similar but not as severe but also did not work nearly as well. Any suggestions for me? | M | 49 | 1 days 10 mg 2X W | 1/24/2012 | 5 | ed | Minor flushing. Lips get chapped. Also noticed a change in size. Thought my mind was playing tricks, but gradually over the month its become noticeably larger both flaccid and erect. | M | 37 | 1 months daily usr | 1/18/2012 |
