Common Questions and Answers about Cialis and alpha blockers

I used the term benign because I've had numerous echos and ekg's and chest x-rays and they all said my heart is structurally normal. I've just been prone to bouts of tachycardia as long as I can recall, since my late 20s. I'd like to wean off Metoprolol because it does affect my sex drive and being still young that's a concern for me. But is there a good alternative for it that could control the tachycardia bouts without the erectile dysfunction?
I have some erectile dysfunction due to having to be on beta blockers. I've been prescribed Cialis 5mg once a day, but haven't gotten up the courage to take one yet. Kind of afraid to be honest. I know many many take it with no problem, but I have a tendancy to feel my heart race more than usual during sex and at random times, which is why I take the beta blockers, but I'm not having a normal sex life. I know my doctor knows what's best.
If you are able to have morning erections and get erect while watching porn, this may be purely psychological. Try to relax (easier said than done, I know) and things will improve. Anxiety and sex don't go well together. When you get anxious, stress hormones constrict peripheral circulation and inhibit erections: it's the infamous 'fight or flight response'. Depression and mood disorders can also have drastic effects. There are effective solutions available, though.
This effect is not clinically significant and does not cause any complaints in most of the patients.
Inasmuch as the concomitant use of sildenafil citrate and alpha blockers may leads to symptomatic hypotension in certain patients, sildenafil should be used with caution in patients receiving alpha- adrenoblockers. The patients taking alpha blockers may use Viagra only after stabilizing of hemodynamic indexes.
A simple course of alpha-blockers (Flomax), for about two months, took care of the problem! The pain and inflammation totally went away...
I was so angry that I had to live with this for almost 3 years given how easy the solution was, just because most doctors are ignorant of the origins of this problem!
Please have your doctors try and prescribe you alpha-blockers: I never have had any problems since then...
Coadministration with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease inhibitors, boceprevir and telaprevir, may increase the plasma concentrations and pharmacologic effects of calcium channel blockers, especially the dihydropyridines (e.g., amlodipine, felodipine, nicardipine, nifedipine, nisoldipine). The mechanism involves inhibition of intestinal and hepatic CYP450 3A4, the isoenzyme primarily responsible for the metabolic clearance of most calcium channel blockers.
I have had chronic pain in my penis and testicles for about a year now. It started immediately and intensely one day after I had just gotten a new Cialis prescription. I took one and masturbated, which I hadn't actually done in about a month or two (was completely celibate). I had an intense aching pain in my penis afterwards. The pain has continued for constantly for a year. I also feel like an uncomfortable "pulling" feeling when I get an erection.
Older drugs, phenoxybenzamine and prazosin are not recommended for treatment of BPH.[5] Alpha-blockers relax smooth muscle in the prostate and the bladder neck, and decrease the degree of blockage of urine flow. Alpha-blockers may cause ejaculation back into the bladder (retrograde ejaculation).
The 5α-reductase inhibitors (finasteride and dutasteride) are another treatment option.
i read the articles on here and i think alot of it is hippy ******** like oh you worry too much and maybe your stressed and blah, and to a degree yes, but i know because somethings up, like if i have weak erection or no erection in morning and it keeps happening and i feel good maybe something just wrong, guess im looking for some real answers, tips, exersises, or advise of people this is happening to too or people who have actually done something about it with some success, thanks for reading
beta blockers? clonidine? guanfacine? alpha blockers? Ace receptor blockers? calcium channel blockers? All seem awful for my case. (e.g. what if it turns out have a hidden pheo? what if i do have mast cell). plus am so intolerant of meds. And with those swings in bp, this is not normal hypertension. Anyone have success? docs are useless and I'm doctored out!!
About 20-years ago my doctor put me on beta-blockers (atenelol) for palpitations and accompanying anxiety attacks. I believe it is not supposed to be taken more than a certain period of time. I was on it for probably two years. Thereafter I got so I couldn’t maintain an erection during sex. I tried Viagra when it first became available, but it just caused a burning in my prostate area and a short-lived partial stiffening.
While there are plenty of antihypertensives in the market like calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, or alpha blockers, diuretics, vasodilators, among others, to choose from, they may not be indicated considering your medical history and the factors that have mentioned. It is best that you talk to your doctor about this for proper management. Also, when stopping metoprolol, tapering of the dose is usually done to prevent adverse effects. Take care and do keep us posted.
I switched a couple years ago to Complera for a brief period that gave me severe depression and worse anxiety so had to stop it too and go back to Atripla. Now I am on beta blockers for the tachycardia, Xanax to help sleep, and Cialis because of the effect the beta blockers have on libido. And I still feel lousy. My labs are good but shouldn't I just switch meds could all this be due to the Atripla?
I finally convinced the urologist to give me Cialis. Bam! It was a night and day difference. I was finally able to have stronger erections, good enough for penetration, probably 60% of the time. It wasn't perfect, but it was better than nothing.
Now, I'm 38. I still take 5mg Cialis daily. Sometimes I go to masturbate, and my erection is difficult to maintain (while watching porn usually), and then I will realize I forgot to take the medication for a couple days.
If your problem is premature ejaculation, there many effective solutions available. Ejaculation is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, so what you need is something that blocks sympathetic activity in the genital area. Alpha blockers can do the trick. I'm not a doctor but I suggest you try an alpha blocker called VIGAMED (oral phentolamine) 30 minutes before sex. VIGAMED is not Viagra, it is an entirely new treatment. It can improve erections and delay ejaculation.
First of all, you should see a urologist. There may be some underlying organic cause that you're not aware of and only a doctor can help with you that. If this is in fact a case of psychological ED, there are several solutions available.
PDE-5 inhibitors are very effective, even in cases of psychogenic ED. Viagra, Cialis and Levitra can improve your erections and make you more confident. Don't expect any miracles, though.
Treatment includes topical therapy like camphor or menthol, capsaicin or local anesthetic creams, antidepressants like amitriptyline and anticonvulsants like gabapentin tablets, corticosteroids, oral sodium channel blockers like Mexilitene, central alpha adrenergic agonists like Clonidine and electrical cutaneous nerve field stimulation. No treatment is there for the nerves that have been damaged but electrical cutaneous nerve filed stimulation can be tried.
I hope it helps.
