Pistachio nuts versus impotence
Just added some pistachio nuts to my daily diet. I eat watermelon in the morning and pistachios in the afternoon... the former is a great source of l-cit, and the latter a great source of l-arg.
I have gotten heartburn on 5 mg 1x a day. I was taking in the morning but moved it to late afternoon and seem much better.

another question/comment i have (im a nube and cant start a new thread): my TRT MD offers 2 options , either inj every 7 days , or 10 days....WISH every 15 days (twice a month) was an option, they are great but its just a hassle to get to his office 3x month (doing the 10 day thing atm)..are these common options? any med reason to do it this way?
a plus though, they do offer free turkey jerky and G20 ,all u can carry out, so ya know, i try and recoup best i can like that (not cheap, just LOVES me some jerkey).
You don't want to go more than 7 days without an injection. Too many ups and downs, even 7 is too long as most of us split our weekly dose.Quote:

well my next inj is today. Ill run the self inject/ 2x week idea by him (thanks zen and xc )... just an observation but the guy is an amateur bodybuilder , so i know hes no stranger to the needle himself. seems like a decent guy though. THanks for the info.Quote:

no not at all... i wont pretend to know too much about test and when to take and all that, i (perhaps incorrectly) assume the drs know what is best... and yeah, everyone is different...trial and error for sure. just want the best bang for my buck. I appreciate the feedback of the folks on here.Quote:

Usually if you are on a 2X a month dose it would be 200 mgs, so that would fall out to 100 mgs a week (where I am).
I'm not your doctor and not pretending to be :) Just trying to provide a frame of reference.
Update - I transitioned from a daily Cialis 5 mg dose in the evenings to two Liquid Cia 3 mg doses - one in the morning and one in the evening. It has now been a week since the switch, and I have notice the efficacy is reduced.
HOWEVER - I don't think this is due to the Liquid Cia directly. I have been keeping it in the fridge next to my hCG, and yesterday I noticed what appears to be the tadalafil powder settled on the bottom. I've been shaking the hell out of it before each dose, but the suspension fluid was uber-thick from refrigeration. I guess I never paid attention that closely, but even shaking the hell out of it did not seem to be effective enough. I then warmed up the fluid by running the bottle under warm water and have not put it back in the fridge. It's a bit early to tell, but when I shake the bottle the suspension is WAY less dense and gets a good shake now. The settled white stuff (probably tadalafil powder)on the bottom is also gone. I'm also seeing what appear to be improved signs of efficacy. This is just a note that I would definitely recommend NOT refrigerating the Liquid Cia. More results to follow in a week or so.
Zen! great up date, thinking of trying the liquid Cia when my Cialis pill run out, keep us posted!
hey Zen, how bout my boy #55 - got his first no hitter last night ! whew! bout dang time he won a game lol
the early am dosing of cia seems to be working well for my heartburn
fwiw I spoke with my md about the 2x /week method ( i go to the low t center in denver) ..and they do not allow any self injection/ scrpit writing etc for their patients...
my dose is 190 q 10 days fwiw..im getting higher but not up to normal yet.
Maybe you should tell them you travel a lot... (but don't tell MikeT I said that). Please tel me you know the girl in your avi? Still love looking at that pic. :)Quote:

My gauge here (not to be too graphic) are erections... I'm achieving them fine with the Liquid Cia, but they are noticeably slower to arrive and can be a tad softer. With the pill I'm used to *shazam* instant 18 year old... can get them almost on demand.
I've had some work-related stress and lack of sleep over the past two weeks plus a stupid idea to take up smokeless tobacco during that time (I used to be a heavy dipper in my 20s)... dropped both of these and am back to good rest and no nicotine for the past 2 - 3 nights. I also started hCG in May, so my E2 levels may be creeping up too high - I will know in a few weeks. All this to say is that there are some peripheral factors that may contribute to the perceived weaker efficacy of Liquid Cia. I'll continue through this week and see how it goes... if nothing changes, I will try upping one of my doses to 5mg on the Liquid Cia (3mg morning, 5mg night) to see if there is a difference. More details to follow...
I don't think so. I had some Indian Forzest 20 that I was cutting into quarters with a pill cutter (they are blue too, BTW) which I took before the Cia arrived. Had a much stronger affect than the Cia at .16cc. Is a fact, not just perception. I think I will have to up my dose of Cia to find the same level of efficacy as 5mg of Forzest. Maybe you loose something in the liquid suspension?Quote:

Yes, as someone said in a post somewhere, "I shake it like it owes me money" :)
I can visibly see the tadalafil powder in the bottom of the suspension before I shake it.
Thanks roxer for the confirmation... nice to know I'm not the only one with an off experience over here.
Never refrigerated it and shook the h*ll out of it every time. Took .20cc tonight. Let's see what happens? You are welcome Zen.Quote:

Not saying the Liquid Cia is a bad product overall... perhaps I got a bad batch or it just doesn't work for me for some unknown reason.
Next month I get the one month free Cialis coupon from their website... August is my month :)
.20 seemed to work much better. I'll keep using this dose to see what happens.
I agree. .25 ml CIA is better. But the tadiafil troches I got from API are stronger
sorry u arent getting the results you want...im quite happy with my cia...er my lab rats are that is...Quote:

I'm sorry. It's APS. It's a pharmacy in flQuote:

Is the heartburn caused by all Cialis or just the liquid C? The liquid it tasty, but those punch, margarita type flavorings often give me heartburn. Been monitoring BP etc. and can't wait to see and feel real results!
Is Cialis supposed to help Blood Pressure? I had mine checked last weekend at an outdoor event where a local hospital was set-up checking BP's for free. Mine was better than it's been in a very long time 112 over 72. Normally before starting liquid CIA it was 120's over 76-82.
Yes, it is a failed BP med, it may reduce your blood pressure slightly.Quote:

In regards to the acid reflux like condition when taking liquid cia, chase it down with a cup of water and it will go away pretty quick. Has anyone tried **********s liquid cialis?
I had to stop (temporarily I hope) after a week of use. Gained 10 pounds and became less tolerable of extreme heat. In that week my BP was already 10-15 points lower and whiz-stream was more powerful. Only pump I noticed was bloat. Giving liquid C a break to see what happens but plan to give it another shake soon.
found another "minor" issue with Cialis. I was at a waterpark in Canada last week, and while I was in the wavepool, with all the waves back and forth, I developed the third leg syndrome I was telling you guys about previously in this thread. Now, it didn't want to go down, being stimulated by the waves, and I couldn't leave the wavepool for obvious reasons !!! It took damn near 30 minutes to finally calm down and get back to normal.
Thankfully, I wasn't wearing speedos like some of these other European men at the park, otherwise I would've had even bigger problems !!!
vinman, great awkward hard-on story! had a similar at a luncheon last week, felt like teenager again praying they wouldn't have me stand up[ so to speak!] and say a few words.. could be a new thread!
great story vinman lol
If i wanted to do an all nighter with a lady, should i bump it to 10mg that morning and 10mg in the evening, im getting good wood on 2x5mg protocol, but its going to be one hell of a night !
Has anyone found Levitra to be suitable alternative to cialis when it comes to pumps during a workout?
greetings all
so im learning as i go with my TRT , lab work etc.... just noticed my e2 went from 24 end of may to 14 this last test (yesterday). I see that 14 is the lowest for normal range. Anyone have ideas why my level would drop like that, and do you see it as an issue? havent researched it thoroughly but looks like some recommend dhea as a possiblity, and more likely, starting hcg ? thoughts? also fwiw my test levels are still low , was 314 yesterday, was 334 at the end of may test. MD said he will be raising my inj to 200 q 10days (from 190).
