cialis vs viagra ...your preference?

[koold]

I like the generic Viagra 100 mg, less flushing and body ache then the Pfizer prescription brand however the generic Cialis works better than all of them since it seems to work like a strong Prescription Viagra 100 mg without the side effects. I ran across a good article that explains the difference between the two medications.
Which Online Prescription Works Best for Erectile Dysfunction?

 

[Phil Ayesho]

Thanks Cdarro
That's good news on the generic...
The brick and mortar pharmacies around here charge $22 a pill

For a year's worth- whether the daily dose, or the every two day higher dose, thats over 5 grand a year.

Okay,

I'm 44. When I was 43 I was divorced and back in the saddle. I didn't want to suffer performance anxiety, so I asked my urologist for Cialis.

Cialis and me just didn't get a long. I got cold like symptoms (stuffy nose) and couldn't sleep well, at all! Each time I took Cialis, I got a diff. side affect. the worst of it being sharp kidney pains. My urologist ended up telling me, after my griping, the he himself was laid out on the floor with lower back pain as a result from that drug!

I take Viagra now. I got meself a pill splitter and take 1/2 of the 100mg pill. Most every time, it delivers. HOWEVER, when splitting you never can accurately get a good cut...e.g it's never exactly half. Also, I've noticed sometimes you get halves that seem to have more medication in it than other! The last time I had sex, I lost my hard on 1/2 way through...but since I've got a lovely partner, she was patient enough and we coaxed it up for me to give her another 2 orgasms (or was that only 1? before I finished.

NOW...the next morning, too....i was ready to go again, and ended up getting a gorgeous blowjob!

I still had the viagra hang over with a wee bit of a stuffy nose, but that faded. The memory of my romantic time hasn't though!

Viagra insures me, for better or worse, that I'm gonna be able to please my woman and THAT, is paramount to me (however cheezy that sounds). At 44, indeed I can still get hardons on my own, but the QUALITY of hardons I get from Viagra is amazing!

...May they never go outa buisness!!!....

Both did their intended purpose for me, but Viagra gave me the worst migraine I've ever had. I ended up in my room, door closed, lights off, curtains pulled, under the blanket to block out as much light as possible, and a throbbing cock. It wasn't really worth it. Cialis gave me an erection, and a migraine as well. Not nearly as bad, but enough to put me off from wanting to share the cock with anyone.

Now I get testosterone injections twice a month and that's done wonders for my sex drive.

I got a 30 day 5 mg supply of Cialis yesterday for free under their free trial offer plan. price otherwise was $148, which is pretty steep for me. I called my doc late Monday & explained that I would like this prescrip, so a new scrip was emailed to the RX. I walked in, handed my trial offer paper and 3 minutes later I was gone.

I had taken my last 20 mg Cialis last Saturday, and it was still working yesterday so that's 4 days. the only side effect I get is a nose full of crap at some point, and I just blow my nose. I was planning on going out last nite, so I took a 5 mg. an hour later I was in the shower, and thinking about this gal I was hoping to run into, and in a few seconds had a massive, bone hard erection. I resisted rubbing it out. later I did run into her. we went outside to smoke together, and the conversation got a little more one on one, flirty. I was wearing baggy shorts, hanging low and fully flaccid. had a nice chub sitting on the bench, and her eyes darted to it briefly. then later I stood up and stretched, turning slightly on purpose to give her a side view. her response, as she got up, checking my bulge again, was," you are in great shape for your age, and built to"(as she put her hand on my ass, big smile). we went back in, talked some more. no I did not get laid, but she said meet her earlier tonite than last nite. so will see what happens. I'm 58, she's 33, very nice looking.

hey, right now, Cialis is wonderful. an old friend of mine and I were talking. he's dating a freshly divorced 51 yo gal who likes to fuck. (she propositioned me several times while she was married) anyway, he uses Cialis also, and says he feels like he's in his 20's. he said he has more of a problem with the nasal decongestion than I do. he said he gets 4 days out of 20 mg dose.

 

[B_thickjohnny]

Have you ever taken either and your cock DOESN'T get hard? I thought it would get hard regardless but for me it has to be stimulated. Or was that just a one off thing? Viagra has worked great in the past but the other day it just didn't. I took 50mg and my cock only plumped. Ok, it was not the perfect sex situation - someone I met on line that didn't turn out to be what I thought. Maybe the let down let it down.

Glad it is working out for you!

That is correct. ED drugs only give a boost to what is already there and if your mind was not in it, neither would be your cock. I usually stick with L-Arginine and Zinc for a more constant horniness although I think if you take enough Cialis you will get hard when the wind blows. :biggrin1:

Well, you have a point. With some guys I get hard just standing near them - we don't even have to be naked. This guy, however, just didn't do it for me so.... it didn't happen. I felt really strange about it because I can get hard from a simple massage session.

 

[BigD_2]

Wow guys, what a great and helpful thread, thanks to all who have posted.

I don't really have "ED" but anti-depressants can cause some slight (to major, for me slight) ED issues and, as lapdog2001 wrote: "I think the psychological 'boost' I got from the chemical boost helped reduce my need for it." I also echo ArchKnight who wrote: "I believe it can serve as a bit of an "ego booster" at the beginning to get passed the psychological barriers."

Never tried Cialis or Levitra.

First few times viagra (forget the dosage) it was awesome, rock hard cock, incredible sex, ready to go the next day, etc etc. Only side effect was feeling *incredibly* hot and sweating, no matter how much AC I couldn't cool down.

Then took a break from it. Recently have gotten back to it, now I am splitting the 50 mg in half, so 25 mg before sex. Still a facial flush / very hot, but goes away after ~15 min. Nice hard-on length and girth when getting sexual...as others have said though, it doesn't give an erection all the time, only when being sexual. (That's how it's supposed to work!)

Sounds like I should certainly try Cialis though, lots of good experiences posted. Thanks again for all the info, including about on-line ordering and non-medication options.

 

[latinluva]

cialis works great for me, I break into three pieces. Use one piece...no side effects.

 

[phIN]

I've tried Cialis and didnt really do that much, then again i dont have any ED its was just to see what it did. Viagara on the other hand had a profound effect on my member. I did however find the flushing a bit strange, my face and upper body was all red. But it gave me a solid erection for many hours.

 

[Mister_Ed]

I have tried both Viagra (sildenafil) and Cialis (tadalafil). They were not generic, since I am very concerned about purity and concentration. I have never tried Levitra (vardenafil).

The Viagra 50mg tablets work great for me, and take about 30 minutes on an empty stomach for good results. Cialis takes a bit longer to kick in, but the effect was pretty much the same, only longer-lasting. I did not have any of the side-effects that others have experienced, and am happy using the Viagra.

One drawback is that these pills are EXPENSIVE! :frown1: I contacted my doctor, and asked him to bump up my prescription to the 100mg tablets so I could cut them with a pill splitter. I get pretty good results with only 25mg, making my per-dose cost about $2.25.

All three of these drugs work by inhibiting cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) relaxes the smooth muscles in arterial walls of the penis. cGMP is synthesized from Guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP) by using guanylate cyclase (GC) as a catalyst during periods of sexual arousal. After a man ejaculates, the enzyme, PDE5 begins breaking down the cGMP, and the erection subsides. It is neat a balancing act.

As men get older, the level of PDE5 tends to increase, resulting in various degrees of Erectile Dysfunction (ED), or impotence. By taking one of the above PDE5 inhibitors, many men are able to achieve a satisfactory erection. In my case, with Viagra, my erections are now as hard as they were when I was a teenager! :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1:

Looking for a cheaper cost-per-erection, I did some research. An interesting finding was that taking 200mg of cimetidine (Tagamet - for heartburn) increased the blood plasma concentration of Viagra by 56%. As far as I could find (I am very careful about drug interactions), there was no additional side-effects by taking Viagra with Tagamet. HOWEVER, the Viagra dosage should be reduced. I now take 25mg of Viagra with one 200mg cimetidine tablet. My erections are consistently very hard, and the effectiveness of the Viagra is now about 6 hours instead of the regular 4 hours.

:icon4: Since any of these ED drugs work by relaxing arterial smooth muscle, taking them with other nitrates (such as nitro-glycerine heart medication), can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Some people take an illicit recreational nitrate drug known as "poppers". Using ED drugs in conjunction with nitrates can cause death.

:icon4: You should avoid drinking grapefruit juice while taking Viagra, since it can delay the drug's absorption. Possibly leading to disappointing results.

:icon4: This message contains my findings, and should not be taken as advice to mix Viagra with cimetidine or any other drug or grapefruit juice. You should do your own research, and always consult your doctor for medical advice.


Here's a link to the study of sildenafil "Viagra" and cimetidine "Tagamet" drug interactions:

I've had both and cialis is far better, in my opinion. The viagra had too many side effects. The blue tint, the headache, the pissed off girlfriend. I gave her half a tab because she was curious and it gave her a mean nasty headache. Made her clit hard as a pebble though.

My wife tried cialis and normally she's multi-orgasmic, but when she took the cialis, she only had one orgasm. One orgasms that lasted about 45 minutes that is. Any other women ever take either?

 

[BigInBellevue]

I have only used Viagra so far. I buy the 100 mg because the price is the same for the same number of pills as the 50 mg. The pills do not split well or evenly. I wrap portions in paper and label with approximate number of milligrams. I rarely take more than about 25 mg (and that's mainly when I am expected to fuck.) Sometimes I take less if I'm not expected to perform much - like getting sucked off by a friend. No blue vision or headaches. Sublingual gives fast results (30 minutes maybe). I don't want the guy to taste it when I kiss him, so a Tic-Tac or a drink will fix that. I'm 82.

 

[stroker_ace]

i just bought some 100mg pills of generic viagra from a friend (trusted source) and should be getting them in the mail in the next couple of days. he says that he splits them into 6ths and that works great for him. doesn't seem like much. can anyone confirm if that is enough to take care of business?
for the record, i don't have major problems getting it up, but have noticed sometimes that if i'm getting it on with someone for the first or second time, i struggle a bit to get completely hard. maybe it's a little bit of stage fright or something. i'm not sure exactly.
whatever the case, i'll do one or two tests alone before actually using it with someone else. looking forward to trying it out! will report back here with details.

 

[D_Edwin Eatser]

I've tried both and both have worked without any unpleasant side effects. I prefer kamagra, the generic viagra, and only take it when I'm going to a swinging club, gay sauna, house party or when we're having a foursome. Half a kamagra tablet helps me get hard within minutes of cumming and works for 4 or 5 hours. I had a problem that when i'd cum 3 times I couldn't get hard again, but now I can stay hard and keep fucking even when i know I'm usually not going to cum any more.

 

[B_625girth]

I bought some generic Viagra,100 mg, and took 1/2, it didnt seem to work so I took the other 1/2, and it worked. the next time I just took the 100mg pill and was okay. after that I took 100mg, and got nothing. so I took another 1/2. nothing. so i gave some to an old friend to try, and he got nothing out of it. Before I got the generic, I had the real Viagra, and started with 50 mg, and then took another 50. I got hard, but my cock felt weird, kind of numb. anyway, blew my load. my second erection, was super bone hard, my cock still felt numb, which was nice, cuz I pile drove the wife until she came, and that takes awhile, let me tell you.
the day after Viagra or generic, just sucks. I feel terrrible. achy from head to toe.

Cialis is great IMHO. I take it, and my libido comes back. I can see or talk to a beautiful woman, and get a nice chub. I don't get blue vision like Viagra and it lasts for days not hours. I notice a get a snotty nose for a couple hours, a little pain in the lower back and legs, but that could be from fucking. It's more natural, and stays in your system. too much booze knocks down on the effectiveness, but once the alcohol wears off, it seems to kick back in. I have taken a 20 mg Cialis on Friday, and popped a full boner Monday morning while fixing breakfast and my lady gave me a hug and a little reach around to the front. yrs ago, that was her way of telling me," I'm not done with you, come back to bed, fuck me some more". she was surprised and back to bed we went.

 

[arrivaderciroma]

I posted earlier in this thread. I hadn't used my Cialis yet but now I've had the chance.
A Latina girl I know who likes me and flirts with me a lot was in town. Her friend said she'd be going out dancing. I met her at the club and took a half tablet of C before going in (10mg).
I don't have an ED problem but I like the insurance, especially for a first time sex encounter.
Anyway, she was so sexy and provocative and I told her she could do anything she wanted with me. She sneakily touched and groped me all evening and I was semi to fully hard all night at the club, too. We drank a few wines and beers. This was probably a mistake and what I want information about.
We made it home, had great, enduring and hot sex. I loved that she kept asking me, "What are you doing?" which I took to mean "how do you make me feel so great with that cock of yours"?
We finished, fell asleep and I woke shortly with a searing headache that kept me awake all night. This side effect was intolerable. Guys, was it the alcohol? I'd experienced a slight headache before with Viagra; but not too painful. My largest dose of V was 25 mg. How do dosages compare between the two? Next time I'll try a 1/4 tablet of Cialis (5mg) and not drink. If I get another headache I'll let you know. Any thoughts about drinking and ED drugs? Also, there was no pain killers in the house. Would aspirin or Tylenol have helped? Thanks.

 

[RawDog]

I used to get massive headaches with viagra, so I stopped using that. C doesn't give me any headaches whatsoever. Pretty sure your headaches on C are similar to mine on V.

Stay away from alcohol when using C. Your chances of getting Whiskey Dick does not decrease with C.
