Avatar n tn I haven't taken any of the meds you're on, but I did have ED problems when I took Zoloft. It was either the Zoloft or the Atenolol for blood pressure. At any rate they gave me Levitra and I haven't been troubled by it since. I noticed the problem almost as soon as they started me on Zoloft. I'm not on Zoloft anymore but it isn't because of the ED. The levitra worked well for me.
Avatar f tn So it has nothing to do with MS. Viagra increases blood flow and it helps a lot. It will drop your blood pressure and you don't want it to drop to a dangerous level, so you need to monitor it. Start with the minimum effective dose which is 25mg and see if it does something for you. If you wait for a study from the FDA on Viagra for MS, then it will probably happen after you are dead. Please try this now. Viagra has a very good safety profile for a number of years now.
667937 tn?1227758698 He has had no ill effects from taking it since but there have been times when he has not taken it that he has a severe headache after he orgasms. He is taking medications one is atenolol 100 mg and another is linsopril and another medication mixed together. (the other medication is a diuretic) Do you also agree with me that he should not take the Viagra? I love him dearly we have been married 20 years. I don't want to lose him.
Avatar m tn Please do more web searches and DO NOT use Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. I also have RP and ED. I bought L-arginine/Orinithine but am wary about using until I read that it's ok. Blood flow changes seem to be very bad to already bad retinal cells.
Avatar f tn My husband is on the medication Suboxone and I was needing to know if he can take Viagra with this medicine? We don't want him to take it and go into withdraws or anything so, are the two compatible?
Avatar n tn I am scheduled for a thallium stress test, and would like to know how the use of viagra or nitro prior to the test would influance the results.
Avatar m tn It has helped but it has not solved the problem. I went to my doctor and he gave me a prescription for Viagra, 50 mg. My question is this: Is it safe to occasionally take Viagra if I also take L-Arginine? Are there are any potential contra indications in that Viagra should not be taken by a person who takes L-Arginine? If so, is the contraindication just for that day? In other words, would I be safe if I did not take L-Arginine on the day I took Viagra?
Avatar f tn I am just trying to find out if occasional use of viagra would be safe or a risk to take.
Avatar f tn I've been diagnosed with benign PVCs. I had anywhere from 0 a day to 550 a day. For a while it was terrible and I'd have 400+ everyday for about a week. My doctor prescribed me Atenolol 25mg and I take about half a pill (a little more.) every 6-8 hours . It knocked them out cold!! I was so surprised by how drastically it dropped my pvcs. Now I never feel more than 5 a day. If any at all. Is this a coincidence or does atenolol really help?
Avatar m tn Ive also been tested for HIV so I know thats not an issue and I protect myself while having sex. But I think there may be a correlation between using viagra and my outbreaks. Any ideas?
Avatar n tn Usually older guys that take Cialis and Viagra and it works in the beggining and then stops later on down the road is when E2 levels go out of range. You should get tested for this ideal range should be between 20-32 pg/dl I think. You should talk to your doctor about taking either DIM or Armidex. You can buy DIM at your local health food store but you should talk to your doctor first and see what he thinks. Good Luck!
Avatar m tn That is because Viagra was a mixture of compounds put together in a drug company to give help to angina sufferers, but the very noticeable side effect was seen. However, they re-branded it for the purpose we see today.
Avatar n tn Definitely check in with your health care provider before using viagra and heart medication. Viagra was accidentally discovered to work for ED when being studied for it's affects on the heart. They always ask you if you are taking this. Men taking ED medications can not take nitrates as a general rule.
Avatar m tn I do not believe this was caused by Viagra. It usually causes a vascular problem. The new onset of floater should be considered an urgent condition. It is may be associated with retinal tears and subsequent retinal detachment. Dr. O.
214529 tn?1333303619 Your doctor will be able to work with you to find a way to control your palpitations and minimise the side effects of Atenolol . Atenolol is a very useful drug for suppressing premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). Most of the fatigue symptoms you describe with the Atenolol are common when the drug is started but as you body becomes more used to the drug, you should be better able to tolerate it. It should not make you have more PVCs but this can be detected with a Holter monitor.
Avatar m tn tablet per day and I seem little better. I tend to get a little tachycardia now and then and the Atenolol slows it down. Thanks for posting this -- it may be the answer to my problem. I will post what I find out at the follow up appt. It makes me mad that I was told just to stay on the meds with no one knowing about this interaction. I had to call and ask for a follow-up, which usually is scheduled at the time of the cardioversion. Thanks again for the heads up!
Avatar m tn I have tried beta agonists (which the atenolol would block, of course) and inhaled corticosteroids for the cough with minimal success. I've even tried several short bursts of prednisone, and several courses of antibiotics, thinking of occult sinusitis. I do not have symptoms of GERD (unless the cough is one), but tried PPI's anyway without change in the cough.
17995067 tn?1462167674 to the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing as generic Viagra. Viagra is a cash cow for Phiser, and ten years ago a SINGLE pill was 10 dollars, NOW a single bill is 30 Dollars. Every time the time period lapses for this drug to qualify for generic, they tie it up with paperwork-refile with a slight change to keep the generic out of it. If you are getting something from outside the us, it is likely not Viagra at all.
Avatar m tn I am feeling the same symptoms as what you went through while off atenolol and also went to er. They did an EKG, blood work and did a chest X-ray and told me everything was fine. I thought that switching from one med to another may not cause any harm but I may be wrong. Need some advice.
Avatar f tn Then - oh wow irregular beats all of the time - blook pressure up - dizziness - aching in the bad between the shoulder blades - a missed beat every few beats (a normal sequence would be 3 normal and then one, then perhaps 7- always an odd number of beats between. Gave up reducing atenolol and went back to the initial dose (50mg) - has that stabalised it? Not at all! This has been going on for more than 6 weeks now. Dr says don't worry as this will make them worse! Yeah!
Avatar f tn I took Atenolol and down went my BP. I felt terribly weak and awful and could not stay awake. I went to the pharmacy who took my BP for free and found it very low. Doctor halved my medication.
Avatar f tn Hey, I have sinus tachy/high bp and have been on Atenolol 50mg a day for 3yrs. I saw my OB/Gyn today for the first time and he has told me that he wants me to go onto Labetalol 100mg a day during my pregnancy because Atenolol can stunt the growth of the baby later in pregnancy. I would appreciate any advice anyone can give me about Labetalol, like for example do I just start taking them instead of Atenolol or what? Are the affects the same as Atenolol?
Avatar n tn My cardiologist just stopped the atenolol and put me on the rythmol. My local pharmasist asked why he did this because the rythmol now costs me $50.00 a month, my doctor has me taking 1500mg. Why would he change from the atenolol when they seem to do the same thing, the atenolol only cost me $5.00 a month.
Avatar f tn During May I found out that this leg pain could be a side effect of atenolol. Talked to the family Dr. and tapered off the atenolol and the leg pain went away. Stayed off the Atenolol for approximately 6 days and woke during the night with heart rate of 110, by the time I got the the Dr.'s office later that moring my heart rate was 120. The Dr. then put me on Bystolic, 5 mg, 1 x daily. I have been on the Bystolic for 3 weeks and the leg pain is back. Have appt with family Dr.
Avatar m tn I don't have ED but I was curious if my erections could be stronger. I spoke with my doctor and tried Cialis and Viagra. Since they have much different half-lives, I thought I'd try the following: Taking 10-20 mg Cialis every 2-3 days, then taking 20-40 mg Viagra (generic sildenafil) before sexual activity. My questions isn't whether this is effective - it certainly is. But is there any risk to doing this? I moved so I don't have a doctor right now.
