Thinking of using trimix

[Thom Hewson]

Most of the time I'm not semi-erect. I don't think a lot of men, that need Trimix are, the reason most need trimix. However, does that help? Sometimes it goes right n but most of the time it seems the tissue inside is just real tough and I have to push to get it to break through.
Advise please.

Something doesnt sound right. i hope you can see a doctor about this. in normal/typical tissue the needle should go right in...you may have scar tissue (eg Peyronie's disease) or be injecting in the wrong place. but you would know Peyronie's because erections are often awkwardly or painfully curved, and if you were going into the wrong spot (eg, NOT into the corpus) an erection is unlikely to result.
getting yourself a little thick just makes it so much easier to hit the target. esp as i said on your 'opposite' side (Left if you are right handed).
in my case, natural erections are sporadic and fleeting a) because i self-inflicted a lot of guilt in younger years when they came naturally, which does a great job of killing the "boner switch", and b) because i had a radical prostatectomy which can interrupt the nerve transmissions that cause erections. but the surgeon said i had a 'picture perfect reconstruction' and now 6 years on, when i get a good nights rest and don't wear tight briefs i often wake up with a raging autonomous hard on. but he doesn't rise like that when i am with my bf no matter how interested i am, so i give it up to modern medicine, discreetly take an injection 20-30 mins before we meet up, and all goes very well as long as i can get the injection in correctly.
i confess defaulting to a right side injection most of the time which is not good, you're supposed to alternate, but i often don't have time to fuck around with it and am taking the med so infrequently that i hope and have not yet seen any resulting scarring/curvature from one-sided injections....

The auto injector is what the Doc recommended, it's perfect, load it, push the button and your ready to go, the biggest obstacle I faced was the noise from pushing the button, I jumped every time for month's, but never missed, you have to hold it firmly in place

i'll have to check out the auto injector. but i am a little skeptical. it would control how deeply the needle goes in, and the rapid fire would prob minimize needle sensation, but you still have to place it in the right spot ( or rather NOT place it in the wrong spot)... if it's in the wrong spot it's not going to work no matter what.
therefore i am proponent of at least trying manual injections

3:00 and fire

if you're saying you inject in the 3 o'clock position on the shaft i have never seen that advice before. Every instruction I've ever read, plus doctor's advice, was to go in at 10 or 2. I'll try it but i am skeptical.

I've been using it for years also as long as its in the major blood tubes in your penis its good. You could go straight down really if you wanted but 10 and 2 are a very good area to start!! Just watch out for surface veins! My doctor told me no more then once every 24 hours. 25ml gets me hard for a couple hours!

i have been using tri-mix successfully for over 5 years. the concerns i have with it are, 1) need to keep frozen, which i just work around...but i am thinking of trying out 'bi-mix' which does not require freezing. it is said to not work as well, but I'll see about that. Also the standard tri-mix i have retains potency WAY longer than the pharmacist tells you. so don't go throwing it out past the 'expiration' date. just keep it frozen and it will be fine (IF you have any left!). 2) because you stay rock hard for a long time and there is no ebb and flow like regular erections, the rhythm is different with a partner. another guy can last only so long, so you have a hot time but hope his refractory period is not too long for another round, or you just switch to bottoming the next time (maybe take the top bunk to start, or do something else). 3) getting the injection in the right spot is tricky. despite the room it takes up in the shaft, the corpus is easy to miss when you are really soft. or maybe it's just very easy to hit a blood vessel. either way if you don't get right into the corpus the medication won't work. i have found that i can barely feel the needle in the 'right' spot.. so if the sensation is sharper i move the needle a bit. i also know if the needle comes out with a drop of blood in the tube something didn't go right. i think the answer here is to be partially engorged, which makes injection much easier and accurate, and allows you to binject much easier on the opposite-hand side (ie, left side of shaft if you are right handed, which they tell you is important to prevent scarring inside that leads to Peyronie's disease/bent erections)
the only answer i can think of here is to incorporate the injection into foreplay, which means involving your partner..or trying to get worked up a little before injecting so i'm not going into a totally soft shaft. i have been success at those injections in the past, but it is way way easier to inject when partly aroused. . i have been reticent to involve my partner to not interrupt the rhythm for him because he is so easily aroused... i hate to throw a speedbump in things. but it's just something we'll have to talk through . i know he will be understanding...and maybe hearing him voice that acceptance (even though i know it in my head) will be an even greater turn-on.

I've always been told to just keep it in the fridge not the freezer and as long as its not cloudy its still good regardless of the expiry date. I try to use it up but unfortunately its up to the wife!! lol

Agreed! very "hard" to avoid those surface veins though. yes on the 24hours, but wow i have the same kind of results with much less of a dose. no more than 10-15 does the trick in fact i'm fighting it to go down after 3-4 hours. i increased the antidote dose of sudafed to 60 mg (3 pills rather than 2) ..and sometimes have to do pushups or other calesthenics to redirect the blood flow. which can be awkward unless you turn it into a group activity with your partner!

no no no... trimix belongs in the freezer. it degrades much more quickly in the fridge, and becomes impotent at room temp in a relatively short time. maybe that's a ploy by the pharmacist to keep drumming up business. but for sure it will last LONG after the stated expiry dates if kept frozen, thawed only to inject and immediately refrozen again.
(i'm going to roll the dice on a vial of "bi-mix" which is two medications minus the alprostadil, but alprostadil is the strongest of the 3 ingredients in tri-mix. i'm just wondering if i will not get completely rock hard with bi-mix, or i will but it just won't last as long. The latter would be fine with me since tri lasts so long..)

My problems are from a traumatic accident and trimix is all that will work for me. I've been as high as 45ml with the same result. Sometimes the duration makes things hard if the wife doesn't want a second round! lol Pissing afterword is very hard!! lol

My Uro set me up with trimix. I have an appointment next Monday for my first injection. The needle length is 1/2". Just curious, What size needle do you guys use for injections? The 1/2" looks a little to long.

I use the 1/2 " to 5/8" The shorter than the 1/2 " is ineffective for me
