Is Cialis over the counter in Canada?
no, I tried to order and a prescription is required. well, I have a prescription, the problem is I have to call my doctor and they have to fax my prescription to the canadian rx, which they will charge me for. and the savings just evaporate.

does taking a low does "maintenance" cialis work for keeping you ready to go with fewer side effects? Does it also increase non-aroused size like I've heard? basically turn you into a shower from a grower?

I'm curious about this too.

My doctor gave me a prescription for "daily use" Cialis 5mg about six weeks ago. He gave me three 7-day sample packs plus a coupon for a free month's worth to be turned in to my pharmacist (you can also print a free month's coupon at the Cialis website). He also told me that many men can get by on 2.5mg daily and that I should try cutting the pills in half to see how that works out for me.

So, taking the 5mg daily dose, I noticed an immediate improvement in my ability to get and maintain erections and they are much, much, harder than previously. Though not quite 61 years old and reasonably fit, age is catching up to me and I was having a lot of trouble getting stiff enough for penetration (though it usually "rose" to the occasion once inside). Combined with other things going on in our lives which have kicked up our libido, we are now having really incredible intercourse every day; usually twice a day, and often 3 or 4 times per day.

I have also tried getting by on 2.5mg daily with mixed results. Frankly, I am not certain if the poorer performance is due to the lower dose or other things so I am still experimenting. I think I need to stick with the low dose long enough to stabilize and then maybe it will work better, but not sure.

As to a couple of other points:

1) Yes, I have a much "fuller" non-aroused state when taking Cialis. Absolutely no doubt about it and, yeah, I like it. :)

2) The Cialis site and literature says that alcohol can be used when taking Cialis but not "in excess". My impression is that for side effects to occur, you would have to imbibe large amounts of alcohol or Cialis; amounts that would cause problems regardless of any potential interaction. HOWEVER... it also seems to me that ANY amount of alcohol seriously kills the effectiveness of Cialis. A single bourbon on the rocks in the evening will leave me totally limp until the next morning when I can suddenly achieve that rock-hard erection again. Damn shame; I really like a good quality bourbon on the rocks...

That is my understanding as well - mixing alcohol and Cialis won't make you sick or kill you, it will simply squash the effectiveness of the Cialis. Viagra is the better way to go if you're going to drink.

I received two sample pills of new STAXYN, 10 mg., from my physician and tried one today. It seemed to work fine. There was a brief period when I was not being stimulated when my penis softened, but I would say that is not unusual. The drug is vardenafil hydrochloride; it disintegrates on the tongue and tastes good - not like Viagra. Instructions say take 1 hour ahead of sex. I think it took effect sooner. I saw no noticible side effects. It is made by Bayer but marketed by GlaxoSmithKline. No price info. Actually this is the same drug as Levitra, but it claims higher systemic exposure than the film-coated tablet. Unless price is better, I'll probably stay with Viagra and dissolve it sublingually at least 20 to 30 minutes ahead of sex - then take a Tic-Tac or something so I won't taste bad.

Can "Daily-Use" Cialis be used on a one-time basis like you would a regular pill, or is there some build-up in the system which requires a person to take it day-after-day? Those of us who don't get sex every day would be interested in cutting costs.

So far as I can tell, the daily use pills are the exact same formulation in every respect except for tablet size. Which is kind of weird from a pricing perspective. For example, one US drug store chain shows the following prices for their "prescription club" members:

Cialis 2.5mg, 30 tablets: $128.95
Cialis 5mg, 30 tablets: $128.95 (yes, same price)
Cialis 10mg, 30 tablets: $673.95
Cialis 20mg, 30 tablets: $673.95 (yes again, same price)

So, obviously, if you can get by on 2.5mg daily, it makes sense to buy the 5mg tablets and cut them (easily done).

Also, you could buy 5mg tablets and take two of them "as needed" to simulate a single 10mg dose. You would therefore get 15 doses for $128.95 instead of $336.98 (based on fifteen 10mg tablets at the 30-tablet price above).

Of course, I am neither a pharmacist nor a doctor...

i've purchased generic cialis in tijuana and it works just as well as the real stuff. even the brand name in mexico is pretty pricey.

has anyone ordered from online pharmacies that ship products from india? they look to be the cheapest...

Cialis, Viagra, and Levitra will not do a thing to kickstart your libido. These are not "take a pill, get a boner" drugs. All they do is physically enable you to get an erection if you get turned on. If you're too anxious and stressed to mentally feel aroused, these meds won't do a thing for you.
Hmmmm well it came in the mail today and I had a light dinner 4 hours ago and took a Cialis 2 hours ago. Started feeling a twitch in the shower 20 minutes ago and I have a big erection right now without even touching myself. I guess it could have been mostly stress for me, because a couple of days after I wrote that original post, i started back to my old self again. This stuff rocks !

Where did you get this Forzest? How much was it? What was the size of the pills? What kind of reaction did you have? I read up on this a little and I am very intrigued...
