Going from cialis 5mg daily to 2.5

5mg daily was to much and crashed my e2.

Going to swap over to 2.5.

My question can I do this by doing 5mg EOD?

Ive tried cutting the pills (with a pill cutter) and it’s all over the place with how it’s coming out.

Ive got a prescription for 5 more months of the 5mg so wanted to see if I could make this work before I had to get a new script.
 
I actually am doing 5 mg daily and want to go to 10. I get better erections with 10 which I take on Fri and sat.
Or what else seems to work is 5 mg plus 750mg citrulline malate.
Any advice?

Also not sure because it was injection day or that I took the citrulline at about 6pm last night but had a lot of trouble shelling.

I quite the citrulline when I started the cialis as to isolate for effectiveness. The cialis has been so effective that i don't feel the need to add the citrulline back in. One thing I've found to enhance the effect of the cialis is to drink this bottled juice from a local juice-maker that is primarily red beet. Unfortunately, they've ceased production due to the virus. I'm going to buy a lot of small red beets from a local farmer and add them to my daily smoothie.
 
I used 5mg of Cialis and my BP goes sky high, I can even pee cause my heart are jumping of my chest. I was about to start.a thread about it, so this is a side effect of the drug or my E2 are lowered too? Realy scared to a point to never use that again.

Just read up on beet root. I know they are high in nitrates. Thinking about buying capsules. Idk
 

It’s an interesting paper. Not sure how official it is. It’s pretty short, not double blind, etc. May have some validity but not proven beyond a doubt.

Sky high or BP is dropping? Dropping makes more sense.
 
I order 60 20mg Cialis from India’s All Day Chemist and I think the stuff is crap. Barley works compared to the Canadian generic from Teva. It took 20 days to get to the USA and is a total ripoff. be careful with these Indian pharmacies. In additon, afterwards I have been getting so many fraudulent charges on my credit card from all sorts of businesses that I had to get a new card.
 
I dont know how in the world cialis would effect estrogen. I have never seen or heard that. I dont know how thats even a possibility.
 

 
I didn't have time. But there are studies indicting it decreased e2. I thought that's what we were talking about. It also may increase testosterone maybe if we weren't taking exogenous t.
 
Interestingly I took the 5mg sublingual for a couple days, it works better. However, did make me a little dizzy, blood pressure dipped when I checked. Nocturnal erections all night and morning.
Any thoughts? It is a US pharmacy tadalafil. I just cut in half in mouth and under tongue.

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
