CIALIS  (TADALAFIL):  Tadalafil is used to treat male sexual function problems (impotence or erectile dysfunction-ED). In combination with sexual stimulation, tadalafil works by increasing blood flow to the penis to help a man get and keep an erection. Tadalafil is also used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia-BPH). It helps to relieve symptoms of BPH such as difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the need to urinate frequently or urgently (including during the middle of the night). Tadalafil is thought to work by relaxing the smooth muscle in the prostate and bladder. This drug does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, hepatitis B, gonorrhea, syphilis). Practice "safe sex" such as using latex condoms. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.   FDA Approval Date: 2003-11-21 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 3  Holiday Fun Severe back and leg ache the day after lating 3 days Effects were good and fairly natral, extra hardness is always appreciated by parner. Only took 1/2 a tab. The side effects are bad enough for me never to do the drug again - will stick to blue one. M 44 1 days

 3  Performance Anxiety I was taking the daily dose of 5mg. I would wake up every morning with really blood shot eyes. Very mild facial flushing after taking it, but more pronounced flushing 24 hrs later. Occasional lower back pain and flu like symptoms. Viagra provides a firmer erection for me. The nice thing about Cialis is that it did produce spontanious erections for two days after taking it....felt like I was a teenager again. However the blood shot eyes and flu like symtpoms were enough for me to stop taking it everyday. M 37 30 days

 3  reduced Recovery Ouch ! Such an unbearable back pain 24 hours later. The pain is in a location where I have had pain before but never this bad. It does what it is supposed to helping to improve erections. I wonder if the drug interferes with the body's natural ability to block pain from problem areas. We are trying to conceive and as it usually takes more than 24 hours for me to be able to perform again this has made it possible to increase our chances by reducing the time for recovery.

 3  psychological semi-impotence see above see above ...The former was orgastically easy, but this isn't the explanation (based on other life experiences). The former smelled strongly. The explanation could be in pheromones instead of psychological. I work at finding special smells from she whom I now love. M 64 2 years

 3  For sexual activity Headache the next day. Sore legs and calves. Itchy, red eyes, stinging. Restless sleep and pretty groggy the next morning. Seemed to work with the erections, but not really worth the side effects that it caused. M 36 1 days

 3  psychological semi-impotence 1. A helluva charley horse, which I unwisely ignored and kept climbing with. The next day I was blue and purple from knee to toe and at the ER. But I had been taking 2 aspirins every day, which exaggerated the ordinary muscle injury to hematoma. 2. It produced a lousy taste in the mouth not conducive to kissing. 3. I worked into a pattern of taking just 2.5 mg, rarely 5 mg per day, every day. After almost 2 years of this a severe heartburn developed, and wouldn't go away despite 5 days off Cialis. Others report this heartburn. What is causing it? Has Cialis caused a stomach or esophagal ulcer? Lo, life isn't a perfect experiment, I've been taking 2 ibuprofens daily since quitting the 2 aspirins, and this could explain the heartburn (and an ulcer). It works! I minimized the dosage both to minimize side effects and to not over-assault my wife with what she called "a hammer". It is nice to offer an expressive genital which rises and falls with the situations. The other beauty of Cialis is that there isn't the urgency "must f now". I can rest with my wishful hard-on against my sleeping wife's rump and not waken her. Morning will come. My problem with Cialis are its muscular and digestive side effects. Viagra however gives me bad headaches instead. Levitra fires anxiety instead. I wish there were more to try, and wish the exact mechanisms of these side effects were explained. Sad fact is that the best cure for psychological impotence is being with the right sex partner. Relations with my ex-wife and with my current wife overlapped for 6 months, and I was fully potent with the former, feeble with the latter. The former was orgastically easy, but this isn't the explanation (based on other life experie M 64 2 years

 3  Antidepressant induced ED Severe migraine for 2 days after taking one 20 mg Cialis dose. The medicine worked as it should but was not nearly as effective as 50 mg of Viagra. Other side effects were soreness and pain in my hips and lower back and butt. The headaches came and went gradually for a few days after taking the Cialis. I took one 20 mg pill and will never take another. I took one 20 mg Cialis tablet and will never take another. M 36 1 days

 3  bridge age gap Heartburn, ache in legs, lower back pain, severity in that order. I am a fit 57 and girlfriend is a fit 31. At the start of 3 days off, took it and had a very good evening which would not have been possible otherwise. My girlfriend immediately knew without being told I had taken the pill. Did not sleep well that night, 2 days later went for 12km hike with lots of altitude gain, but felt very tired and took more out of me than a 22km hike the previous week. Legs aching so much that night had to take pain killers. Heartburn not quite as bad as the 3 previous times taking Cialis. As I often get lower backpain anyway, I did not associate my feeling of fatigue, backpain, and aching legs to the drug (especially as I had just hiked up some fairly steep mountain trails), but I knew the cause of the heartburn was it. Most of the symptoms seem to be dissipating after 3 days, but I am pretty fit anyway so maybe that helps. One thing that was abnormal, this season I have been having a lot of trouble with my left knee. However, on this 12km hike, although I was f M 57 1 days

 3  ED Just 4 hours after taking my very first Cialis I got severe pains in the back of my legs that was almost unbearable. Also severe heartburn. But I must admit that I had the first no injected erection in 15 years. But the pain lasted 3 days and I didnt get any sleep because of it. As mentioned, this would be a miricle cure if it wasnt for the side effects. What a pitty. M 60 5 days

 3  ED Extreme bilateral pain in lower back near kidneys. Intense headache I experience ED as a result of the pain medication my Dr. prescribes for disk herniation. I have tried Viagra, but didn't like the stuffy nose, so my Dr. put me on Cialis 20MG "1 tablet every 3 days." He said that I can split them and take half to spread it out, which is still too much, so I split them 4 ways and that works on an as needed basis and the effects last a few days. I do not take it all the time, insurance gives me 5 pills with each refill, and I can make it last a month or two. I recently refilled my Rx, took a quarter pill, and the next day experienced intense headache and pain near the kidneys so bad that it kept me awake at night, and lasted 2-3 days, which completely kills the mood, making the medication useless for me. Interestingly, this does not happen every time, and I wish I could figure out why the pain is bad some times and not others. The first time it happened, I was on vacation in Costa Rica on a romantic getaway with my Wife. The pain was so severe that I spent a day in the hospital and nobody could figure out what was the cause. Sort of ruined the trip for me. It wasn't until I did a little research that I started to correlate this pain with Cialis. I'm curious if anyone knows why Cialis causes the headache and back pain? Has anyone who experiences this found any solutions? Going back to Viagra might be the most logical solution for me. M 40 1 years

 3  Fun lower back is cramping very bad... creating very bad lower back and upper buttock smasms. I have used this med via black market due to the cheap cost and never had a problem. I think that this batch is much stronger and i am using it more, which is causing these side effects. massive headaches that are here one minute and gone the next. also, having sensitivity in my teeth which is very very unusual. I fear that i took too much over the last 2 weeks (about 45mg total) and that is showing to be too much. I do not feel that this drug is safe unless taken with doctor supervision. M 34 1 years

 3  Improve Sexual Experience Extreme lower back pain and cramping in buttocks and thighs. Pain started 24hrs. after taking pill and lasted for 2 days. Wanted to like it. Sex was good, but the pain was not worth it. If I could find a way to eliminate the pain I would continue to use it. M 50 1 days

 3  ED Excrutiating back pain in kidney area, pulsing headache within two hours of taking pill. Backache starts the next day, clearly not worth the side effects. Too bad the pain follows the pleasure, the drug does it's job for ED, but nothing is worth that back ache. M 51 2 weeks

 3  ED Limited side effects with a daily 4MG dose...just had mild back pain. With a 10 MG dose taken for 4 days straight the back, leg and butt pain was so severe that I did not sleep for 3 days. Pain relievers did not help. I had been having moderate success for 10 months with this drug taking a daily 4 MG dose (a 20 mg pill cut into fifths). While my wife and I were on a cruise I decided to up the dosage to 10 MG per day. It worked great on the ED issue. After 2 days of taking the 10 mg dose, the back pain got bad but I did not connect it to Cialis. After 4 days I was a basket case and was sure I had some terminal problem because of the severe pain in my back, legs, and butt. Could not sleep! The only relief was to stand or walk. Any sitting or laying down and the pain would start. Also the erection was near constant. Stopped taking it after the 4th day and it took 72 hours for the pain to subside. This drug is moderately useful if taken in small (very small) doses. M 49 10 months

 3  Experimenting, don't have ED. Hip and back stiffness the following day. I took an 80 C sauna for about 15 minutes, and rode my bike for an hour and the stiffness went away. I work out a lot and first thought the symptoms were from my work outs, until I stumbled across this web site. I like the amount of time it works, but don't like the side affects. I'll try it again, but at a lower dose. I would like to figure out what doses work best for me. V and L seem to be more intense, but don't last as long. M 60 1 days
