headaches and cialis
Anyone else get headaches from daily Cialis? I've been dealing with kind of an ongoing low level headache/brain fog feeling for a few weeks and that's the only thing I can think of that changed. I started taking 5mg liquid Cialis daily at the recommendation of many members on here.
Fwiw, here's the full list of all meds/supplements I use right now.
Daily: 5mg Cialis, 50mcg levothyroxine(I'm hypothyroid), men's multivitamin, 50mg zinc, livercare
Twice weekly: 60mg test cyp
I may stop the Cialis for a bit to see if headaches stop, just wanted opinions first.
Thanks guys

its not uncommon to get headaches from Cialis. are your RBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit in check? have you donated blood recently? its always a good idea to back off from supplement or drugs one at a time to see what causing the problem.

I actually got full blood work done yesterday. I'll wait to change anything until I have the results to go by.

when was the last time you donated blood, and have you checked your BP recently?

I've never donated blood. Hematocrit hasn't ever dictated it yet, but that's one of the things I'm curious to see on blood work. BP hasn't been checked since last office visit in August. I could try one of those machines at the local pharmacy, but idk how much the results can be trusted.

or get one from Costco or any drug store, its good to have one at home especially if you are on drug therapy. just make sure you get the large cuff.

I used to get headaches from Cialis & Viagra. They subsided eventually...

Check that First.
I had the same symptoms as you.I even landed in the ER the pain was unbearable.
Doc put me on betablockers wich was total bull shit!!!
I went to the Quiro and she noticed huge strees knots on my traps and shoulder.
I took care of that and instantly headaches went away.
I feel golden now!
Just my 2 cents

Headaches are one of the more common side effects of Viagra and Cialis, although they seem to be slightly more common with Viagra. A lot of men tend to find they subside after a time as was API's case above.

Cialis works by dilating the blood vessels in the penis so it can fill more easily with blood. The dilation of the blood vessels doesn't only affect the penis. You might be getting headaches due to increase dilation of blood vessels in your head.

So, I was apparently just getting sick. I felt like crap Wednesday, came home from work and slept for 13 hours. Woke up feeling great! Sometimes its too easy to look for problems in meds and supplements and forget we're still just human, lol. Fwiw, I got blood work back this week and everything from cbc, lft, and free and total test is looking great. Hematocrit is at 48, which is where its been for the last year since even before trt so no changes there yet.
