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  ED The first time I took 20mg of cialis was many month ago. It was good. I had good erection the day I took it and the day after. However the last time I got no erection what so ever but I had a sever lower back and leg pain - so bad that I had to take pain killers in order to be able to get some sleep I am really afraid to try it once more.

 1  Now 60 wanted to be like 50 Took 1:45 PM worked great and didn't notice any side effects like Viagra. Woke at 7AM with mild leg pains that felt like cramps but were not. Also in right side like kidneys. Worked that day which was mostly sitting. Wasn't too bad standing but people commented on my grimacing. Really hurt when moved to standing position. Got home 9PM and pain lying down. Can't sleep, way too painful lying down. Had taken 20mg. Might try again at 10mg but pain isn't worth it at all. Should have read here first. M 60 1 days

 1  Erectile dysfunction Congestion, severe lower back pain. I took a 20 mg pill for the first time and experienced only mild back pain which I attributed to my workout. The erection was good and I was able to sustain lengthy firm erections 2-3 times over a 48 hour period. I took my second pill a few days later. No firm erection the evening I took the pill, experienced 1 erection about 12 hours after taking the pill. I experienced congestion and severe lower back pain which lasted over 18 hours. I will not use this product again. Levitra gives me congestion but never back pain and the erections are reliable. M 45 5 days

 1  ED Back and leg pain for several days after. Heart palpitations started a couple of days after, and lasted about 24 more hours. This is scarey stuff! It also causes heartburn for about 4 days after taking. Levitra works just as well, but without the nasty side effects! I have taken it off and on for about 6 months with some side effects, but after this last time, never again! I would not give this drug to my worst enemy! M 42 6 months

 1  E.D. I had SEVERE low back pain using 20 mg Cialis where I had cut the tablet in half. I wasn’t aware of the side effects, (shame on me for not doing my homework). I went to the ER as the symptoms were the most painful I’ve experienced, (and I’ve had my share including compound fractures, etc.) The doctors completed a full work up-CT scan; contrast MRI; X-rays, etc. I had several IVs of morphine. The doctors did not ask about Cialis and, not knowing any better, I didn’t mention it to them. Admittedly, I did not research Cialis until I took it again a week or so following the incident where I had the identical symptoms as before. I discontinued taking Cialis and haven’t had the symptoms since. I am canceling my remaining physical therapy appointments as Cialis, it appears, was responsible for my symptoms. M 46 14 days

 1  ED Drug Prescribed by My Urologist Severe lower back, base of the neck (spinal) and upper leg pain beginning about 30 hours after taking the drug. I've had back pain before, but it's never been this bad. The back pain greatly amplifies immediately if my lower back area encounters cold air. I am taking 2 tablets of Tylenol Arthritis Pain Formula every 6 hours to deal with the pain. I cannot lie down, as it amplifies the pain greatly. I have to sleep sitting up in a hardwood rocker with a heating pad against my lower back. I also experienced about 24 hours of headache and my face is still 'flushed' and warm to the touch. I am also experiencing intermittent aching in both arms. I won't take this drug again...the minimal benefit that I experienced from using it is far out weighed by the physical discomfort that that I've been out through in the past 36 hours. On a scale of 1 to 10, the lower back and the base of the neck pain peaks at 10 every 6 hours. I started out with a 10 mg dosage, and although I didn't experience any side effects at all with it, the desired effect was minimal. So, a few weeks later, I tried the 20 mg sample pill...wrong move! There wasn't any noticeable improvement using the larger dosage. This drugs horrible side effects showed up only with the larger dosage. After reading the other coments about the 'hit and miss' side effects that happen with this drug, I won't take it again! I suspect that I was lucky with the initial 10 mg dose in not encountering any side effects whatsoever. From what I've read in other's comments, taking this drug is like playing 'Russian Roulette' in regard to the possibility of experiencing it's painful side eff M 58 2 times

 1  ED For the first 6-8 times I took 20 mg Cialis, there were no side effects (believe it or not) and then it hit me big time. Unbelievable/unimaginable upper back pain - I was too stunned but never connected Cialis to the back pain till I saw this website (although I slightly suspected after reading abt. side effects). I had MRI done, visited spine doctor, etc. and nothing was wrong. Of course, I was too embarrased to tell the spine doctor that I'd taken Cialis. Anyway, I will never forget the pain in my life - took prescription medication for two weeks to get relief, missed work for a whole week, etc. Foolishly enough, after I recovered I took Cialis again because I wasn't sure if Cialis had anything to do with it - on other words I became a guinea pig. Guess what happenned when I I took Cialis again - this time it was the lower back - three weeks later - I'm still recovering. Holy cow - who would want to take this stuff - if it makes you feel closer to the coffin? Cialis should be Does it work? Sure it does work within one hour of taking it with or without food (which was very important to me since I was sick and tired of sex when I am actually hungry for food - but did it several times because of Viagra). While Cialis has the advantage of this plus it truly stays in your body for 36 hours or longer, its side effects can scare the bravest man on the planet. I also noticed that the erections were consistently less dramatic in comparison with Viagra (not too much but enough to make me go back to Viagra for this reason alone, leave alone side effects). Actually, I thought of trying Levitra because of its less sensitivity to food, even picked up a sample from my doctor's office. However, I learnt later that Levitra is a "non-formulatory" drug and my insurance copay doubles - I am not willing to pay double - would rather go back to Viagra and have sex on empty stomach (dinner can be had after sex!) But please stay away from Cialis - it is crazy. M 36 3 months

 1  stay harder longer First vertigo, then terrible pain in left arm and upper back after the last use, subsiding now after three days of ibuprofen having a hard time sleeping or working, so bad I do not even want to try it again even tho it worked great. I used 20mg Cialis quite a bit for months before the vertigo hit. I did not even associate that with the Cialis for a couple of weeks, then thought to check published side effects. Bingo. Stopped Cialis, vertigo finally went away, now the incredible pain. No mas for me. Too bad, works great. M 56 1 years

 1  Stronger Erection I had a horrible experience on Super Bowl Sunday after taking Cialis 20mg on Saturday. I had a seizure while watching the game and ended up in hospital & scaring my wife to death. She didn't know I had taken the pill. I also had an irregular heart beat & ended up on a blood thiinner. My head & body ached. I was too sick to remember to tell the doctor I had taken it. Don't take this drug unless you really check your health with your doctor, it's just not worth the risk. My wife is very upset with me over such a stupid move. She loves me regarless of minor sex disfunction. I'm Blessed to survive, never again. M 59 1 days

 1  to get a hard on. Lower back pain, flushness, A few large spots on the legs lasting at least a few weeks. cialis plays with your heating and cooling system. For some constitutions this drug has to strong of a heating affect and will agravate the organs.Doesnt matter the age. To learn more about the organs there functions and relations that is easy to understand. Google Ron Teeguarden and radiant health. every human should learn a little about chinese medicine. So when taking proscription drugs they will no why they are experienceing the symptoms and then learn how to naturally releave them!!! cialis can over heat the digestive fire and you will more than likely experience back pain. goog luck fella's.

 1  BPH UnGodly pain in buttock, lower back, thighs and even down to calves. Started to go to ER twice and did got to my Chiropractor for an adjustment, couldn't sleep much for 2 days after the 3rd day I quit taking and I visited the Chiro that day, after visiting my Chiro I felt better...good enough to resume the Cialis after skipping a day. About 5 hours those UnGodly pains came again and I ended up trying to sleep leaning agains a wall. Sitting was terrible, lying down was worse and the only relief I got was standing or walking (though my legs at timer were weak). Finally searched the internet and found this site and another that clued me into the problem...CIALIS. Oxycodone and muscle relaxer didn't help finally got a little relief from Ibuprofen. Still some pain 2 days later...pray it will go away completely. I got so hard a cat couldn't scratch it but the "pill from hell" isn't worth it...I've got 86 pills I'm about to flush. Even an erection "harder than a jawbreaker" isn't worth this much pain. This review is true, some of the worst pain I've ever dealt with and I've had 3 major surgeries including a complete shoulder replacement. M 58 3 days

 1  ED Upper and lower back pain, thigh and calf pain Took it once Wed night about 6:30pm. w/wife in bed for an hour talking, flirting, touching, never really got hard hard until we started serious foreplay. Went soft before I even got around to "it" about 9pm. Friday morning woke with severe back pain across upper and lower, from side to side. Also, leg cramps from thighs to calves. Now Sunday 11pm and still painful legs, back not so much. Taking restless leg homeopathy and ibuprofen just to sleep a couple hours. Planning trip to dr or hosp but found this and other site that confirms Cialis as cause. crazy-bad-pain-taking-cialis/ M 60 1 days

 1  ED Hot, flushed face and neck immediately after taking it. Sex was just "ok". An hour later I experienced serious chest pains and had to be taken to the hospital. It has been 3 days from the dosage that I took and I am now experiencing increased heart rate/palpitations. I am also experience mild pain in my lower back area. Other less serious side effects include diarrhea, fatigue after doing mild exercise. I cannot believe that this drug is still available on the market. Do not take this drug. The side effects really are not worth it. M 30 1 days
