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)

 1  Bladder Neck Inflammation and Pain Facial Flushing, Dull Headaches, Red puffy eyes, pain and pressure in the eyes. I took this drug after my urologist suggested it because of pain in my uretha from a bladder neck inflammation. This drug works great for ED or any erectile failure. HOWEVER, I get yearly glaucoma exams because my mother had it in her 60s, and my optic nerve is irregular showing a predisposition for the disease. My checkups had been fine until my last one when they told me I have a LOSS OF VISION IN MY LEFT EYE showing that I am now fully glaucomic. The Doctors do not attribute this to the use of Cialis but I can tell that I am almost positive that the use of this drug caused DAMAGE TO MY OPTIC NERVE which precipitated an early onset of glaucoma, which I may have had to contend with in my 50's or 60's. The drug is a a known vasodilator which will suddenly increase the pressure in your eye. Not enough to cause a NAION (stroke), but after continued use over years, I DO BELIEVE, it will damage your optic nerve as I believe it did mine. You will not even notice it is happening until you get a visual field exam which I encourage anyone taking this drug over the long term to do. WHAT DO YOU THINK is happening to your eyes, after you take this drug and you notice pressure, redness, pain and swelling in your eyes which lasts for the duration of the drug life in your body. This drugs is causing you the slightest damage with every use that will only come to light after many years of using it. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO!!! IF YOU DO, PLEASE GET A FULL EYE EXAM FR M 40

Patient History
 1  ED Severe back pain a few hours after taking one 20mg tablet. The next morning I woke to find my eyelids and underneath my eyes had swollen up in the extreme. The back pain was still there too, along with numb feelings in all my joints and a fluttery feeling in my heart. Eyelid swelling and pains decreased throughout the day. The next morning (2 days after taking) my eyelids and eyes had swollen up in the extreme again and all the other symptoms were back too. I spent 5 hours waiting in casualty to see a dr, by the time I did my eyelids had gone down again and the pains had again subsided. The next day (three days after taking!) my eyelids had swollen up again and the back pain was back. I was scared and went back to the dr's, where I was given antihistamines to stop the swelling (that was what I was most worried about), they seemed to work- that, or the drug had just gone from my system. I have no idea how the cialis affected my ED, I was in too much pain and far too worried to think abo M 30 1 days

 1  ED Pain in my hip buttocks thigh. Unlike any pain I have ever felt. Almost went to ER Pain only on right side of body. Unbelievable pain! I stopped taking it 3 days ago and the pain has not subsided. Too bad because it worked well. This product should not be on the market. Not worth the pain/risk. M 52 18 days

 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

 1  ED After 2 1/2 months of taking cialis, vision began blurring in left eye and began developing mild pain and stiffness in lower neck and upper back. About 10 days later I had a stroke like episode - sudden dizziness, sweating, nausea. Later that day developed severe pain in buttocks and upper legs. Soon after excruciating headache began. The last five days have been hell. I'm 61 years old and have never been sicker. Finally, vision is beginning to clear (though still slightly blurred), pain in back, legs and buttocks almost gone, but severe headache continues. How long will that last? Thank goodness I was able to connect symptoms with cialis. One day into this, I honestly thought I was dying - a truly terrifying experience. Finding this site and reading about others' experiences has been reassuring (at least I'm not dying). Now if only the headache will go away. How can this drug be on the market ? It's side effects (at least for me) are horrendous. Taking it was the biggest mistake of my life. M 60 3 months

 1  ED Tokk 5mg 1 hour before making love, nothing happened, remained flacid, took another 5mg and after one hour gave up. 2 days later it woeked ? just boned up in bed and had a wonderful session, grat powerful orgasm. Then next night massive pain in lower back, upper legs, and then as night progressed pain in any joints with pressure, had to walk around to reduce pain, then took tweo pain killers , pain subsided. Maybe 10mg was an over doese for me, but certainly strange drug with seriousl pain side effects, scared to use again in case of the pain. Felt like I had bone cancer was quite scared. This forum is fanmtastic for understanding more about the pain ect, but where is the manufacturers comments and suggestions ? The manufacturer needs to comkunicate on best doseage suggestions based on individuals haealth and age. Not enough said about the severe...I mean severs pain in back and joints and how to reduce or prevent this pain. M 61 4 days

 1  Prostate surgery rehab Stuffed nose initially. Intense lower back and leg pain after 6 or 7 days. I'm 6 weeks post radical prostatectomy. A week ago I felt I was healed enough to fill the prescription for cialis and begin rehab on the sexual function. I've tried, but no erection yet except for the worsening back and leg pain. Like other posts have mentioned I thought it was from exercise or something. It's so bad now that I've turned to the Web for answers. Thankfully I found this site and it seems I'm not alone. I normally don't converse on the Web, but I feel this site and the helpful responses have enlightened me about this drug, and others post surgery may benefit. This course of treatment seems to be popular now, but it's not for me. My nerves were spared and I was good before surgery, so I'm just going to be patient and let the nerves repair and the sexual function return DRUG FREE. This type and level of pain is keeping me from walking which is too important to my recovery. NO more Cialis. M 54 7 days

 1  Prostatectomy Prior to taking it I felt great except for ED. After just one pill I have had Acid Reflux for three days; now bad lower back and back of leg pain clear down to my heels. Difficulty bending over. I feel weak like my legs are going to buckle when walking. Pain made it difficult to sleep if at all. Scared the crap out of me. I didn't know what was happening until I researched the side effects of this poison. I will never take another Cialis there must be a less dangerous way to correct the problem. M 66 1 days

 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

 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

 1  BPH Excruciating headache followed by debilitating back pain after second day. Pain then expanded to legs and buttocks. Nice. Off of them for 3 days and pain has lessened but is still there. Taking Tylenol to reduce pain so I can sleep. Unbelievable that this is so heavily marketed and approved for use. Just incredibly shocking. WHat the hell is the FDA doing????? M 58 2 days
