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  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

 2  E.D. Lower Back Pain. 1st weekend using Cialis. I noticed some improvement in my erections, then on Sunday - BAM - on came excrutiating lower back/buttock/upper thigh pains. I did maybe overdo it because on my partner's urging I took 2 20mg tablets in 36 hours. Noy conducive to wanting to have sex. M 45 2 days

 5  ED Took 20 mg on Saturday and had no side effects at first then began to feel like I had just run a marathon. My hips and then my legs became sore and stiff. I had a hard time getting up from couch. I was uncomfortable walking and sitting on hard chairs. Took 400 mg Ibuprofen / Advil or 900 mg aspirin ( both cases 3 tablets) every 4-6 hours. Caused stiffness to moderate somewhat. I also had a minor headache 12 hours after taking 2o mg which went away quickly on taking ibuprofen or aspirin. I did not have discomfort sitting on a soft couch or in bed and other than discomfort when I moved it did not effect love making. I am having Prostate cancer radiation both beam and seeds. Although I have had some urinary inconstancy, There has been little effect on my libido or the ability to get an erection but had difficulty keeping an erection. After taking 20 mg cialis I was stunned at how hard my erection was during loving making ( sex for some of you guys ) I have taken Cialis before with no muscle discomfort so I was not inclined to blame cialis until I read some of the posts here. Have not tried Viagra and wonder if side effects are similar. By the way I am 67 and in spite of the Prostate cancer I have not had such enjoyable sex since my 30's. M 67 3 days

 5  erectile dysfunction mild headache this is being written by the wife of a cialis patient. my husband is 60 yo and I am 55. he has taken viagra for a couple of years before using cialis. but wanting "a little more," we researched cialis online (including this site), and he got samples of cialis from his doctor. he has now taken cialis 3 times over the past month. we love it. his erection lasts a long time and is definitely harder than on viagra, and he definitely is able to perform quite well several times throughout the 36 hour efficacy period. we have always had a good sex life, but cialis has definitely made it even better. if a more mature man does not experience severe side effects, and his mature wife is still sexually active, I could not recommend cialis more highly!

 5  ED Experienced slight stuffy nose about an hour after taking it. Severe lower back pain about a month into using it. I started with 5mg on a Friday night, another 5mg on Saturday morning, and then went to 10mg Friday and Saturday. Side effects happened after taking 10mg three days in a row. I'm going to try and stick with less dosage and hope for the best. After a ten year marriage (with no ED problems), then a few drunken experiences with girls that were way age-inappropriate for me (half my age - and again, and unbelievably, no ED problems), I started a serious relationship again and BAM, no erections. It was embarrasing - when you're used to having good erections and then all of a sudden they stop, it catches you off guard. Anyhow, after a few months of embarassment, the doc gave me a trial of Cialis and WOW - it worked better than I could have hoped. A couple hours after taking it, I could feel myself chubbing up like I did when I was a teenager. Sex was great - one session right after another, and without the fear that I was going to lose my erection half way through (awful experience). Downside is I finally got the dreaded backache and it was horrible. It was bad enough to wake me up and kept me from falling back asleep. It only lasted a day, but it was enough to get me thinking about managing the dosage a lot better. I'm going to take it again this weekend and see if 10mg on a Friday will be enough for the whole weekend. If no side effects with that dosage, and if it still works, I'm a big believer! M 43 45 days

 5  slight ED First time tried 20 mg - Slight stuffy nose and heartburn, but after 2 days very bad back and hip pain that lasted three days. Was worse when lying down and I could hardly sleep. I tried smaller doses and now have 5 mg per day every day. There are no side effects now, other than occasional very mild hip pain that is OK, especially considering the benefits. It is amazing how much of a difference Cialis (or now I am using a Tadalafil generic from India) can make. It has taken me back 30 years in performance. I would suggest to anyone suffering back and hip pain to try 5 mg per day, every day. The residual from previous days will give a daily body concentration cycle of a maximum of 8.3 mg and a minimum of 3.3 mg. This will ensure peak performance, but will keep maximum concentration low enough to mitigate pain acceptably. M 64 200 days

 3  ED Insane lower back ache, shin/calf ache,hip, glute/siatic murdering me. I do have some minor back problems and I think it amplifies 10x what is there or hiding, ready to manifest when you take cialis. This I assume because I only get the pain on my right side. Cant sleep due to pain. I think it amplifies whatever back or leg problems you already have because it causes swelling in soft tissue around nerves. Heartburn sometimes. I take calcium pills or drink milk to kill it. The sex is great. It does delay ejaculation and speeds recovery for round two. Sometimes i can slip off the condom and keep going. I've had ED since 22 so cialis helps me feel my age during sex, but then my back, leg and hip pain put me back in my place. Its a toss up... M 30 2 years

 3  For longer lasting intercourse Have correlated usage with severe aches in legs, thighs a couple of days after use. Can make sitting at a desk very uncomfortable Most recently made sleeping impossible. Two 200mg ibuprofen helped but pain began again the following early afternoon. Regrettably, will probably cease taking it due to the side effect described. Otherwise, my favorite of all three ED drugs since it has a much longer lasting effect than either Viagra or Levitra.

 5  ED Very Very slight headache and slight lower back pain and butt pain. The benefits of of good sex was well worth it! OKAY, I read al the comments below and was not going to take the 20mg. I have taken the 10mg a few weeks ago with small results. Last Tue and last night I took the 20mg and WOW!! Hardest it has been in 15 years, no joke. 3 times and the wife said enough! Now, I do have some back and butt pain that was caused by using the butt or Gluteus Maximus muscles. Think about guys, if you have not had good sex for a while, the muscles have not been used!! Unused muscles do get sore when used again... It is not rocket science, just look it up! M 58 2 weeks

 4  Soft Erections Flushed face (for about 3 hours), stuffiness (first day), mild nausea (on and off for 4 days), lower back ache (after 3rd day and lasts to 5th day) It certainly does what it promises. Nice erection pretty much on demand for 3.5 days (sometimes even when inappropriate!). The nausea is fixed with a Somac tablet. The back pain is one of those annoying things that is a bit of a downer. Ibuprofen takes the edge off it and makes it possible to sleep. It never seizes to amaze me what we are willing to do our bodies in the name of sex. And that is from somebody who makes bondage gear for a living. :) M 59 2 months

 5  Antidepressants, Age, HepC Some headache at base of skull; take Advil, and drink lots of water. On day 4, I'm having heartburn-after taking 1 on Thursday, 1 on Saturday morning & 1 on Sunday Noon--did not realize heartburn was a sx until reading this forum. Grrreeeaaatt! I'll take Priolec, and Advil, to address these minor side effects or heartburn and headache. Given a high dose of Effexor for a few years, and being 51 but in pretty good shape, and having HepC, and smoking cigarettes (I know--I've gotta stop), I could still get an erection but it would not last long enough. With Cialis, the erection is like the Everyready Bunny--It keeps going and going and going. I still have difficulting with an orgasm, and am optomistic that will work out as I become more tuned to the new me. When I did masturbate on Friday night, I sensed greater intensity and amount and flow of semen--which has also been a major frustraction for me in the past years. I regret I did not buy into this earlier. PROBLEM: So far, my insurance will not cover it. Always a catch! Id forgotten what it was like to walk aroung with a hard on in your jeans. M 51 3 days

 5  Soft Erections Some minor congestion and a couple headaches, but have not experienced any side effects for at least 6 months now except a much larger penis both erect and flaccid which isn't exactly a bad side effect. Have been taking 10mg doses which last me for at least 3 days. have nothing bad to say about the drug. My erections are rock hard every time and are much larger than they ever been. M 36 11 months

 3  E.D. Experienced a significant amount of upper leg pain lasting approximately 4 days and even after then it only dissipated gradually. Other side effects which were more mild included heartburn and facial redness including pronounced flushed areas on my cheeks. It was only after an extended period of time that I was able to make the correlation between the drug and the side effects involving the soreness to my legs. I'm a very active person. While the drug provides relief for the E.D. issues, it's simply not worth the side effects I experienced from it's use. M 54 2 years

 5  ED Mild headache on the evening I took it. Moderate muscle pain in one leg on days 2 and 3. Advil took care of all of these issues. I have only used it once so far. I took 20 mg on a Friday evening and on Monday morning I was still waking to morning wood. The Cialis produced strong erections repeatedly throughout the weekend when stimulated. Great sex on Friday night and twice each day on Saturday and Sunday. It even seemed to improve duration and staying power. GREAT DRUG! M 54 1 days

 5  12-yr younger gf, better experience All of the common ones at various times with mixed severity: lower back pain, little heartburn, congestion, very slight facial flush, maybe a bit of nausea. But never terrible, I know what the devil is, and it's worth it for sure. Good diet, some basic exercise, and 400 mg. ibuprofen really all it takes. Great erections - much better and more consistent than my 5+ years with Viagra periodically. Rock hard even with a couple of glasses of wine or slightly fatty foods. Really nice to take 20 mg before bed on Friday night and start the weekend by waking her on Saturday morning with serious wood. Lasts the full weekend from there, generally twice/day on Saturday and Sunday with no problems. The best $7 or so that a man can spend. Easy to keep your own secret, as taking it once lasts for a few days and she can use you when she needs to. Highly recommended. M 52 1 years

 4  ED Leg pain 3rd day lasting a day. I noticed that a lot of guys said that they experienced lower back pain the next day or so. Do you think that lower back pain might be from over using their lower backs for the first time in a while as they were probably humping like bunnies again? M 53 1 days

 1  ED Terrible lower back and thigh (back side) pain that set in 24 hrs. after taking a 20 mg pill. Extremely difficult to sleep, but pain also in sitting and walking. On my 3rd day of pain now. **Effective drug: IBUPROFEN** 2 x 200 mg tablets work within minutes (fabulous!) and last 8+ hrs. Some headache experienced, too. I only took one pill and definitely will never take another! Sure, it made me mostly hard (when I wanted to be) for a day or two, but it's absolutely not worth the resulting ongoing pain. I may give Levitra another try. No real side effects w/the 5 mg pills but also no great positive results, either, even when I took 2 of them. M 61 1 days
