    Cialis suddenly not working

    I have been using it for years now. Started out doing 5mg eod to help with getting a good pump in the gym. Even at such a low dose I noticed it made my erections huge lol. I never really noticed it helping in the gym so I stopped using it in that manner.

    I do however take it sometimes for those huge erections lol. I would take 10 or 20mg on a Friday night, and I would have great results Saturday through Monday. But these past couple months I have noticed it doesn’t seem to work at all. I am taking the same pills from the same bottle, so no change in product/supplier. I have only been taking it once a week, if that, for the past few years. I have read there’s no evidence you can build up a tolerance, but I don’t even use it that much anyways. It seemed like a light switch, it literally just stopped working for me completely. There have been no other changes in my lifestyle or medication. I have been just cruising on 250mg of test per week, and yes it’s very legit… my sex drive is still there, I can still very easily get an erection, just would like to get those holy sh*t cialis ones again haha.

    Have you been using the same bottle for a few years? Maybe its potency has waned. How is your blood pressure?

    I am assuming the cialis is not eli lilly so could be subpar quality but nothing lasts forever. Except maybe honey.

    I think I ordered this stuff earlier this year, it’s Vals cialis, and had always worked for me, right up until it didn’t lol. I did order some Balkan cialis with my last order, I was going to give that a try. My blood pressure has always been great. Just recently had two doctors appointments where it was checked and was perfect.

    I still do 5mg of Cialis daily - never noticed much from it. Aside from maybe slightly better boners & a slight drop in BP.

    This.

    OP, 5mg is an FDA approved daily, long term, dose in the US for BPH. It is not a "recreational" dose and as such, I wouldn't expect a whole lot from it. I take 5mg daily (prescribed, how cool is that?) for BPH and like Samson, notice not much from it.

    Still, every little bit helps, but neither cialis nor viagra are "dick pills" per se. They are both vasodilators, and as such, increase blood flow to all parts of the body, including in men, and pardon the scientific term here, the "donger".

    If you are looking for something faster acting, whether for pre workout out or for sexxy fun with lady friend go go time whee!, take a look at viagra. I use 25mg PWO sometimes, about an hour before working out, and it always improves pumps.

    I've actually had this very same problem. 10mg cialis every day mostly for blood pressure control. But the "performance" enhancement was also a nice side effect. I recently on my Docs advice dropped down to 5mg ED and use 25mg viagra in conjunction with the cialis. Works amazing. Almost to well honestly.

    I ended up ordering some from another source and it seemed to work well. Maybe the other stuff was under dosed or just plan went bad. I liked the idea of using it at a low dose for a better pump in the gym, but never felt like it made a difference. I had also heard it was good for your prostate, not that I am having issues there but figured why not. One thing I cannot stand about using it is the congestion… I know there’s probably nothing that can be done about that as like cyclon said, it increases blood flow everywhere, including the turbinates in your nose. But if anyone has a solution for that I’m all ears haha.

    Oh and also it really seems to give me acid reflux, which I struggle with, and have been managing with medication, but even on the medication cialis seems to cause me some issues there.

    I’m sure I could, but I’d imagine it wouldn’t be much cheaper than just buying balkan. I honestly haven’t looked into it though…

    Sounds like you've got it resolved. A note to the thread's archive... not just blood pressure, but also lipids out of whack could impact Cia effects.

    My 100mg viagras from CVS are 70 cents each or so, and 20mg Cialis from India is a tad under a Buck

    I try to stay from UGL stuff now, what’s the point when I’m prescribed 200mg of test & dick pills are mostly Rx

    I take these pde5 inhibitors very rarely. I get usually about 75% success rate out of them. They are ugl, so I may have gotten better results from pharm. i would never ever take a pde5 inhibitor for pumps , now 10 years ago I would but no way now. If you want a pump, eat more before you train. Hydrate.
    Back on topic, when I do take something its 25mg of viagara. Anything more i just get too many side effects and makes the experience unpleasant which is totally opposite what is desired

    Like right now, with all juice dialed in I can. Viagra just makes it easier to get it up & harder boners.

    I vary my doses, anywhere from 50mg to 100. Right now, 50 is plenty.

    But, I’m prescribed 30 100’s a month - which makes over use/abuse quite easy.

    Same bandwagon here. Im fine without it and no issues. But to get that “supercharged” effect ill down 25 mg prior and 50mg if i dont care about side effects that day which is rare.
