    Yes it is okay, if the Cialis is giving you sleep issues then try taking it first thing.

    I am editing the post to give a better explanation. I hate when people just say yes or no without a why. Cialis is a PDE5 inhibitor which basically affects the circulatory system mostly. Ambien affects brain chemicals to allow you to sleep better.

    The big side effect from Cialis is hypotension so you obviously don't stack it with any other nitrate drug. The only thing I would worry about taking the two together is if you take them close together. The Cialis lowers your BP which can cause dizziness or make you lightheaded. Ambien can do the same as well through a different mechanism of action.

    Not that you are doing anything but laying in bed after you take Ambien, just something to be aware of since I do not know how sensitive to the drugs you are.

    How often to you mean by occasionally? You have to find the right dose for you. Some people take as little as three milligrams a day while some take and are prescribed 30mg a day. I personally take 6mg a day and that is enough for me.

    I usually tell people to start low around 3-5mg a day and work their way up each day until they find a dose that achieves their desired effects while keeping sides tolerable. Side effects for low BP are annoying, I always get a headache which definitely hinders my training.

    Just be careful taking Cialis an hour before any strenuous exercise. Some people, like me, are perfectly fine doing that. Some even do it on purpose. However, some people are overly sensitive to the BP lowering and can pass out easily. Especially when confronted with orthostatic changes like standing up and sitting down in the gym.

    That 30mg a day was meant to be a 20mg. I have never heard of anyone taking 30mg, typo.

    I have never heard of it so I had to look that one up. It is just an OTC supplement, there is nothing in it that you need to worry about. You can take them together all day long.
