Cialis working nice so far

[marcsmith79]

Soooo I was struggling with minor ED issues due to too much test(200mg)/wk. I have since cut my dose to 100mg and added Cialis. I take 20mg on my Friday and it lasts through the weekend and beyond, I work 12 hour shifts with a long commute so sex during the week isn’t common.... My question is if cialis works what could be the underlying cause/causes? Should I see a cardiologist? What supplements should I run to eventually get off Cialis being that’s its pretty liver toxic? I just lift and watch my diet. Will cardio help? Sorry for loaded post, I don’t want to rely on a pill forever.

Liver toxicity related to sildenafil consumption has been considered very rare.

Seems unlikely that it would be a cardiovascular issue at your age, unless you are a smoker and/or diabetic.

Have you tried doses between 100mg and 200 mg? How often do you inject? What are you labs looking like?

I was at 200mg per week my free test was super high like 4x the reference range, SHBG was low, I posted the labs on this site when I started having trouble... I dropped the dosage down to 120 mg per week, cut out arimidex and hcg and added 20mg of cialis once a week and been doing pretty good on that. Had two rounds with the wife last week. Been reading a lot on here and other sites and it appears hormone optimization is not always good enough for ED... Non smoker not a diabetic 6’3 230lbs about 13% body fat.

Some low SHBG guys end up having to use really low doses of T. Sometimes 60-80mg. Might be worth a try.

I’ll just give my experience. With low testosterone I had ED and Cialis and Viagra did nothing for me. Once on testosterone my ED went away for the most part but with an optimized testosterone level Cialis and Viagra really really pack a punch. I use them recreationally. However if my estradiol gets high they lose there effectiveness and orgasm also becomes difficult.

I inject 80mg testosterone cypionate twice per week, 333IU HCG every other day both subcutaneously and take 5mg Cialis daily. I take 50mg Viagra before sex which is at least every other night. Sex is the best I’ve had in my life. I’m 54.
