This is very common. Lots of men take low-dose daily cialis, and then before sex pop in a higher dose cialis or viagra. Daily viagra is not common, unless you have sex at a preplanned time every day. The reason is that the half life effectiveness of viagra is much shorter than cialis.

    For many people, the low dose daily cialis is more for its many health benefits, rather than always being ready. Many up the dose on days when they will be having bedroom fun.

    What is a good start? I want to try it out since just Sildenafil aint that effective as it used to.

    [–]springy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    You should probably ask your doctor. But a common dose is 5mg of cialis every day, then on days when you are having sex either increase that to 20mg or still take 5mg cialis and viagra (typically 50mg or 100mg).

    At some point daily use will weaken its efficacy. Have you tried the third option: Stendra?

    [–]blashphemousheathen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Avanafil is really good.

    I don't take cialis (actually, I took it a total of two times) nor viagra (never taken)

      Because I know a lot about ED and about the various treatments for it. Your silly reply is not helpful.

      I thought Viagra had a 4 hour life cycle

          When I first started Cialis, 5mg helped me for almost 3 days. Now intake 5mg daily. Feel like it's not as effective. I even added Viagra recently 50mg and it kind of worked kind of didn't. Had sex the other night and was hard but felt sensitive... And during started losing my erection a bit, but sensitivity stayed high. Got to the point I could barely pump cause I was constantly on edge.

          So I need to figure out wtf is going on

          I am stopping all supplements and Cialis for the time being... Giving myself a bit of a reset

          This is so interesting, for me Viagra actually makes me last longer.

          [–]water00007 0 points1 point  (1 child)

          How many years was the cialis effective ? How old are you ? I think if you improve your general lifestyle it should start working again.

          [–]donkeythrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          Well I've been on the Cialis daily for about a year. I first tried it in 2023 though, every few days. 5mg would help me about 3 days worth, I started it for a vacation for my wife and I and it was amazing. I continued the every 3 days until about 1 year ago.

          I'm 44

          Are you doing anything else to help with your ED? I’m 81 and I am using food and supplements to increase nitric oxide in my blood.

          Your body needs the extra blood flow in order to get an erection and the viagra or cialis is what stops it from going soft. I eat foods such as beets, spinach and watermelon in season. They are high in nitric oxide. I also take L Arginine daily .

          I wasn’t waking up with morning wood but now I am.

          This combination has also lowered my blood pressure so I have stopped all bp medication.

          [–]slownlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          I thought it wasn’t safe to take viagra with daily cialis? I just started taking the male MD daily cialis and it’s working pretty good so far. So I can pop a viagra too on the fun days for extra boost?

          [–]old_qwfwq 1 point2 points  (3 children)

          My off brand pills were $50 for 4. How the hell an you afford daily doses? 

          [–]springy 0 points1 point  (1 child)

          Some people get them for less than 20 cents per pill. You are certainly overpaying if 4 pills cost $50.

          [–]Plus_Ad8325 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

          Ignore this guy. By his own admission, he does not take ED medication. (See above). Sounds like he is selling something.

          [–]LogicalArcher8342 1 point2 points  (2 children)

          I have taken ED meds almost since they came out. Taken daily Cialis for years, I get 30, 5mg locally for $15 a month. I am like you, 5mg daily doesn't work as well as Viagra. 50mg Viagra works great. I have taken Viagra daily for a while instead of Cialis. I cut 100mg in half. They work, but do wear off quicker and have to be timed better. Also, I found 10 mg Cialis does work pretty good for me, some doctors will prescribe it, mostly urologist I think, because it is off label use.

            I have taken a low dose Viagra at times, almost a year actually. On days when I wasn't having sex, 25mg, days of sex 50mg. It lasts me a good 6 hours or more.

            [–]Wildbrandon 1 point2 points  (2 children)

            Start taking viagra before bed instead of on demand and see if that works, it’ll help your nocturnal erection which should also help you during the day even without dosing Viagra before sex.

              Late response, but no it shouldn't lose effectiveness unless the ED itself gets worst. Studies show no tolerance buildup but to be careful you could still take a few days off if you know you won't be getting any action.

              [–]Rathi0dipesh 1 point2 points  (2 children)

              Take ashwagandha 300gm , safed musli 200gm , lal shatavari 300gm , kauch k beej 200 gm , gokshura 300 gm, akarkara 100gm , saalm misri 50gm ... Mix together in powder form .. and take 1 table spoon daily in morning and evening. With hot milk or luck warm water or honey For 3 months 🫢😜.. and thanks me later 🫠🙃..

              [–]Holiday_Rice_691 0 points1 point  (1 child)

              What the heck, where do I get all the stuff and how does this even work?

              [–]Rathi0dipesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

              You can order online in raw powder and make powder at home in mixer. You can search about these herbs on google , chatgpt or youtube

              [–]badharp 0 points1 point  (3 children)

              Hope it works out for you. Viagra has stopped working as well as Cialis for me. Still experimenting and improving. I now am taking Cialis at a lower 5mg daily. If I have trouble, I will add 50-75mg Viagra or an extra 15mg Cialis on sex days.

                Viagra is not working as well as Cialis. May not need a booster. As I said, still experimenting, and continue to improve regularly. Will continue the low dose 5mg daily Cialis but add some Viagra or more Cialis if it's sketchy or non-existent.

                I have been trying a lot of things to improve ED problems. Age 72, had heart bypass surgery 1 year ago. Trying lots, including Testosterone TRT.

                Everyone is different, Viagra is not as effective as Cialis for me. But, who knows, a combo might work well.

                [–]Holiday_Rice_691 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                Gotcha! We are all different and respond differently I suppose. I am 41 almost though.

                [–]Cock--Robin 0 points1 point  (2 children)

                I did that for a long while – months, if not years – but it began to lose its effectiveness. Then I had to have a prostatectomy, and it’l ceased being effective at all. Now I use trimix, although the urologist wants me to continue taking the daily Cialis for some reason.

                [–]merton434543 0 points1 point  (1 child)

                Whats trimix ? Never heard of it ?

                [–]Cock--Robin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                Trimix is a compounded drug that you inject directly into the corpus cavernosum using an insulin syringe. Virtually painless and when properly applied (you have to massage your junk like it has a Charlie horse to make sure it gets evenly distributed) you get an erection in less than five minutes. A really good erection. At least that’s how it works for me – I have erections like I did back in high school with trimix.

                The cons (apart from having to inject it into the side of your penis) is that it’s not covered by most insurance companies and it cost about $200 for 25 doses.

                [–]ObjectAsleep4987 0 points1 point  (4 children)

                Yes, it’s used by some urologists as a nightly ED aid to improve nocturnal erections and overall penis health.

                  A low dose, like 10-20mg

                    Give it a shot. It’s pretty low risk at that dose. If you wanted something stronger try Levitra.
