I started using Viagra in the late summer of 1998 - not for ED treatment, having found a sympathetic physician willing to “relax” the prescribing protocol, as an enhancer/aid to keep up with a much younger affair partner. In terms of side-effects, most were minor:

- “blue out” - this side-effect produces a blue tint or halo, temporarily impacting vision. Most of the time I experienced this side-effect the root cause was essentially overdosing. At the time, 50mg daily was considered therapeutic for ED, 100mg daily was the maximum. The times I experienced “blue out” were instances where I’d taken two doses a day over three to four days, driven by the need to stay hard for my sugar baby.

- headache - I occasionally had mild headaches, most of the time concurrent with exceeding the recommended dosage.

- elevated body temperature - again, related to overdoing it dosage wise.

- “Viagra cock” - this was a complicated side-effect; whether it is negative or positive is a combination of perspective and potential medical impacts. There were times when I was concurrently using alcohol, pot, or X/MDMA with Viagra. Think drug and alcohol enhanced sex… The end result was an erection lasting longer than 4-hours, along with the inability to ejaculate, or significant impairment in ejaculatory response. I was rock-hard, able to fuck for hours, but couldn’t cum.

I continued using Viagra until Cialis was introduced in 2003, after trying it, I switched, and have continued using Cialis/tadalafil since. I’ve used it in varying doses and protocols, from 5mg daily dosing, to 40mg doses an hour or so before an encounter, as well as incremental dosing in 5mg units from 10mg - 60mg in a single 24-hour period, as well as over several days. I’ve never experienced any identifiable side-effects.

I currently use a compounded product that includes 20mg of tadalafil, 2000mcg oxytocin, and 100IU Bremelanotide (aka PT-141, a peptide hormone). The compound is delivered in pellet format, for sublingual dosing. Depending on my planned or anticipated activity, I sometimes combine that dose with between 5mg - 20mg of pill-format tadalafil (generic Cialis) within a single 24-hour period. I’ve not experienced any negative side-effects from up to a 40mg dosing of tadalafil in a single day.

Tadalafil is faster acting, and has a longer “half life” metabolically than sildenafil (Viagra). I’ve found that I can remain in an “always ready” state pretty much indefinitely, without the negatives of Viagra/sildenafil.

My primary doctor told me to I could take 5mg Cialis daily. Then the urologist told why would you take it everyday. To be effective you have to take 10 to 20 mg for it to work like it should. So I stopped the daily and now only take 15mg when needed. The urologist got me 100mg of viagra but have been reading that it gives some people temporary blue tint with vision and sensitivity to bright light. Probably will cut in half.

I’ve never taken 15 - only 6-10mg and it does just fine when I do. In fact - my girlfriend is in awe and last night her words were “fuck, it just stays so hard and I can just keep riding it until I lose my mind”

anyway - cialis for the win. 6-10 mg on Saturday at lunch will make your one eyed prize fighter a champ until Sunday afternoon - for me it does!

I’m sure the level of fitness/ in shape does matter too. I don’t take it because I can’t get it up- I take it for fun factor and enjoy the benefits of staying rock hard and fucking for longer periods.

That’s what I find a bit concerning’. I have been taking cialis and I got viagra from my doctor, wanting to see if there is a difference between the two.
I have taken both and neither give me any side effects to be concerned about. I do get a stronger faster erection with Viagra but the lasting effect of Cialis better

I notice a definite bluish tint to certain lighting, and I get a minor headache sometimes.

I get that too and the headache. Still though, the sexual experiences are off the charts better (which makes it worth it to me) with a dose of this stuff. I will deal with the slight headache (one Advil makes it go away) after the fun is done. I just take 50mg of it though.

67 years old using 100 mg. Never had the blue vision issues, but I do feel the flushing in my face about 15 minutes after taking the pill. I don't seem to have the hour waiting period until it works. In fact I need only about 15 minutes until it kicks in. For best results, i can take it almost immediately before sex. I can still see some residual effects for about 8 hours, but not nearly as strong. It does work best for me on an empty stomach. And actually best early morning before breakfast.

I've heard a rumour Viagra causes nose and ear growth with extended use. Something to do with the same erectile tissue as in the Penis or something. I placed this here as a joke...........then i looked up where else erectile tissue exists in the body....and guess what...............you guessed it.

Erectile tissue isn't strictly found in the genitals. Our ears and noses contain some erectile tissue as well. However, the nipples don't have erectile tissue.25 May 2022

So, there ya go. For you Hobbittses.

Has anyone experienced any serious side effects from taking viagra. Eye issues.?
Nothing serious, but I notice a definite bluish tint to certain lighting, and I get a minor headache sometimes.

I know label warnings include “changes in vision”, but I’m not sure what that means.

in the past i would take 10mg and it worked fine, i now need 20mg to maintain a decent erection
i have generic Viagra so i will take 40 or 60mg when I feel like i need a good JO session, gets me rock hard with no side effects. i can only maintain an erection for a few minutes without any pills

i wish i knew, this started at about 50 and attributed to reduced blood flow and possible artery blockages. Been under the care of a cardiologist since that time and fortunately my health is still fine but my erections continue to get worse. Basically doc told me years ago that every guy is different and no matter the cause the treatment is the same. I do expect that one day the pills will stop working as i am starting to see my response to them isn't as good as it used to be. I am now finding it hard to maintain the erection unless I stay on my back, turning on my side I lose some stiffness. Every time I take a pill is different though. I will take before bed and some nights I wake up and I am not hard but others like last night I was hard every time I woke up. Challenging for sure but enjoy it while it lasts
Is there a treatment that can help other than pills? Gainswave or something else?

something isnt right, the quality of my erection improves but i dont get rock hard, and i get a head ache and constipation on my nose, im only 41 years
When using a Viagra, while I can feel my dick stiring around, I think "is this it?" Upon gripping, jerking it, BAMM it is hard as a steele flagpole. Im a white guy, it kind of makes my dick, pink red due to blood flow. I dont like the Rudolph effect. It gives me a very stuffy congested nose & face. I can't stand that. The next day, my dick is still pretty perky. 55.
