Doxazosin restored my morning erections

[Dr.V.P.C.]

Dox is great but if you cross the line of max tolerated dosage you feel like crap, bad sluggish and lethargy, so very detailed tiritation is a must. Take extra care with postural hypotension, one time I suffered a lights out and fell down cold and hit my head on canvas, it was nuts.
Tansu is easier, much less sides, less hypotension, and retrograde just on higher dosages.
I will try a mix of Tansu with yohimbine hcl.
Always with tadalafil 3-6mg and TRT (cyp 100mg E5d), no ai.

What is "Tansu"? The only Google reference is some sort of Japanese furniture.

Tamsulosin, I believe. I googled "Tansu and Yohimbine" and got a result:

Tamsulosin - Wikipedia

...Trade name "Flomax"...an alpha blocker similar to Dox.

I'm not the one with the Ph.D. i


Yes, I am questioning how doctors and others with PhDs don't understand what causes ED, assuming all the usual suspects, such as atherosclerosis, stress, etc., are eliminated as causes. It's baffling how little we still understand about the human body.

Forgive me for being perhaps a little biased because I have suffered from not being able to get concrete answers from doctors regarding certain health-related issues I have had.

My thought process is: if we rule out x, y, and z, as causes of ED or another condition, shouldn't that leave us with only a handful of possibilities regarding the underlying causes?

For instance, trt is supposed to improve libido and sexual response. If trt doesn't help, if blood pressure and circulatory health are good, shouldn't that leave us with only a handful of possible causes?

Why would the body have trouble producing NO? If a drug such as doxazosin is effective, might that give us a clue to the underlying problem and a perhaps more effective means of treatment than taking a pill?

I agree with you 100%

I have been on a stable TRT protocol administered by one of the more reputable physicians often mentioned on this forum, but have been chasing ED issues since the beginning. Most recently, I was having issues getting physically aroused, and would lose my erection during intercourse, which is clearly very frustrating. I have not had morning or spontaneous erections in years.

Doctor suggested low-dose Doxazosin... started at 1mg and titrated to 2mg after a few weeks. No side effects seen, and within two days, my morning erections began to return.

This has had a compounded effect on the subjective side of my TRT treatment - I didn’t realize how important morning erections are to my libido, which has been much better with the confidence I now have that I can fully perform.

If you are suffering from similar symptoms, I’d suggest mentioning this to your doctor.

Still working for you?

1mg calmed me down and seemed to slightly improve ED, but after 2 weeks back to where I was. The calming factor remains a bit. My morning BP is as low as 108/65, so I am not going to move to 2mg. Also, not taking daily Cialis either. Doesn't seem like this is going to provide the answer for me.

@Vicente Doctorvpc , Sorry to reply to such an old post, but I noticed you were going to try yohimbine hcl. Was that the prescription drug or OTC? If OTC, which one? Did it produce the desired effect?

Unfortunately Yohimbine is not for me , bad sides , palpitations and nose water draining.

For everyone that tried Dox for NO support and ED issues, is anyone still taking it daily? Any noticable negative changes to libido? Looks like that is a large compliant for people who use it for BPH and blood pressure. Also, any noticeable positive effects that were unexpected?
