Avatar f tn I'm a 33yo guy, in overall good health, I've been on a low dose of Metoprolol for about a year for benign tachycardia. I've cut my dose down to 25 mg a day since I noticed I began having trouble maintaining erections more than I'd like. Used to never have that issue. I've gotten prescribed Cialis 5mg, haven't taken it yet, is it safe for the heart to take? Like it won't trigger any dangerous rhythms or anything? Really wanting to get my sex life back.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn While on Cialis, everything is fine when she gives me a ******* or a handjob but the moment we are going to have sex, even when I think about it, my heart rate increases and my erection disappears. I am a stresser, my heart rate rises wery easily in some situations. When we are turned on and I start to stimulate her with my fingers or tongue, my erection disappears even if I took Cialis.
Avatar n tn by Billy1115 I am in ageement with you. I was taking 10mg daily because the Uroligist said is was good for the heart. I don't have any heart problems and now I reduced it to 10mg every 3 - 4 days. I am starting to have a climax again.However, it is not lke it used to be but it is very intense. I statred to relax a little more while having sex and the climax comes upon me when I least expect it. Thanks for your input.
Avatar f tn m leaning towards staying on whatever minimal dose of metoprolol I can get away with, and adding the Cialis to try and get a sex life back. I'm hoping since the Cialis is supposed to lower blood pressure anyway, maybe it will also keep my heart rate down during the deed assuming it gets me hard.
Avatar f tn 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.
2056612 tn?1330697184 The original autopsy showed no cause of death, but suddenly, 9 months later and after further testing of heart tissue sample and blood samples, the medical examiner has come back with the cause of death being Cardiomyopathy and Mitral Valve prolapse. Why would this have not been found in the original autopsy? Also...after her death, her husband admitted to giving her Cialis because he said he had heard it worked better in woman than in men for boosting a low sex drive.
612551 tn?1450022175 I think I was/am. I now have a prescription for Cialis and a large discount coupon.. Medicare and thus my Part D doesn't pay anything toward the cost of this expensive medication. My cardiologist has also said Cialis could be taken and may help, he also said I can try stopping my beta blocker as long as my AFib doesn't make my heart run too high a heart rate. I am also thinking testing a drop in Statin drugs. All testing has been approved by my Primary Care and Cardiologist.
Avatar m tn So here's the deal, I started having high blood pressure at 20 and now im 23 with ED. I asked my doctor and he said it was too early for the HBP to be responsible for any sort of vascular damage. Do you think this is true? He thinks the ED is psychological but I simply can't accept this. I don't even get morning erections, AT ALL.
Avatar n tn t touched his wife because he cannot get an erection, and he got the Cialis to see if it would make a difference, and it hasn't yet. It could also be for the other things Cialis is prescribed for. (It's not just for erectile dysfunction.) Good luck to her in figuring it out.
Avatar f tn Ok so I took a Cialis from my bf and took it to see of it could help me have an orgasm as lately I on anti depressants and haven't been able too. My face got hot and swollen and turned purplish red and my nose is plugged etc. Is that a normal reaction for a female using Cialis? Thanks.
Avatar m tn I am 38 and started noticing weak or no erection with sexual fantasies and porn, and hardly got erection during sex with my wife for the last two weeks. The strange part is libido is great, but sudden issue with erection upset me a lot. Thought of anything sexual would give me a strong boner right away which is not anymore. Over the last weeks I have had stress with personal and business issues, too many problems in head.
Avatar f tn Suboxone not only effects sex drive it effects Testosterone levels. There is a lot of misunderstanding of this out there. Viagra and Cialis without sex drive equals an erection that allows for sex but no satisfaction to the male if there is no drive. Low testosterone causes low sex drive and erectile dysfunction.
1396517 tn?1500880649 I'm type 2 diabetic and overweight and have not had any erection problems until this year when during foreplay I'd be as hard as a rock, but go soft just before insertion... my wife has been understanding, but it has been frustrating. My Doctor said that erection problems are more common than people think - especially for people over 40 and she could prescribe a generic 'Cialis' if need be but I was too embarrassed to take up the offer.
Avatar m tn So take it and quit worrying , stay focus on fixing your issue and love your wife with all your heart and sole -- plus an erection !!! LOL I have taken Cialis many times and I currently take the daily 5 mg Cialis without any side affects.. Very good Med for ED issues..
Avatar n tn While you may be a candidate for the drugs as they do help in the recovery (especially if you never had any erectile dysfunction before the surgery), these drugs would also have side effects and may be contraindicated in the presence of other conditions like heart disease and run contrary to other medications. The nature of the surgery is also important, as the proof of treatment effect was conducted for men who had nerve sparing surgery.
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.
Avatar n tn Met my wife 6 months ago again performance anxiety, took cialis and it worked until I made a decision to try celexa for two weeks and I dont know if it was my anxiety or fear or did it really kill my sex drive. Viagra or Cialis didnt work. Went back on Luvox up to 150mg and Neurontin 300mg 2x a day.I would get an erection but a thought would pop into my head that Im not performing well and it would go down. Somehow Cialis started to work for me again and its been successful.
Avatar n tn I also had a urine screen and urethra swab for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. The urine came back negative, but the swab test hasn't come back yet. After getting the Cipro, I took one pill but was still concerned. I went to the STD clinic and recieved a Rocefin injection, 1g Zithromax and 2g of Metronidazole. If the STD tests are negative can the infection/discharge be caused by the ED drugs?
Avatar f tn t have high blood pressure, just tachycardia and the metoprolol really helps keep that in check. Should I just stay on metoprolol and try the cialis and see how it works or should I try the cardizem?
Avatar m tn I would talk to your doctor about cialis. My husband takes it and it works like a charm. It is not like you have to take it and be ready to go that minute. It works for up to 36 hours so you can take it and when mood is right, you will be ready to go.
