Anybody have really inconsistent results with Viagra/Levitra/Cialis?

[Willie]

I've been taking 5mg of Levitra every night before bed because my urologist told me about the studies (which are posted on this forum) showing that nightly PDE-5 inhibitors have long-term benefits.

Anyway, some nights the pill does nothing and other nights, there is a big difference. I don't understand it.

I thought it might be due to eating huge, fatty meals, but it hasn't been for me. Two nights ago I went to bed on an empty stomach, and the Levitra did nothing. Last night, I went to bed after eating a massive, fatty taco dinner, and the pill worked great.

Is this happening to anybody else?

Wow very good question.

I've been taking Cialis with consistent results for over a year now. I'm very happy with it: it is my favourite ED drug and it has never failed on me so far. It is, however, a bit difficult to say if this is just the result of Cialis because, as you know, I take A LOT of things to improve my sexual health - Vigamed, Prelox, pomegranate juice and vitamin E.

I tried Levitra twice but I didn't like it. At first, it seemed to improve my erections but not as effectively as Cialis.

Anyway, we should keep in mind that PDE-5 inhibitors are very effective but not miracle drugs. They are locally acting drugs and do nothing to improve libido or sexual desire. If you're too anxious or simply not in the mood, Levitra is useless.

Willie, this is exactly what happened to me. I took a Viagra 50mg on an empty stomach (did not eat all day). i thought it would work in 20 minutes but after almost 2 hours nothing!!!! I ate a sandwich and some chips and then all of a sudden it started working great? I do not get it, is it best to take Viagra on an empty stomach or not?

I have noticed this as well Faron but only with Viagra. I noticed what I did wrong was bite the pill before I swallowed it? It is a habit I have when I take vitamins. What I learned was by biting the pill it took longer to work and it was very inconsistent. Took me forever to get an erection and the next day I was hard as a rock..

In my own experience, I need to take the pill about two hours before play.

I used Viagra for about five years, then found that its effects were trailing off. I switched to Cialis and couldn't be happier. I order them from Hong Kong at a very reasonable rate.

Also, in my experience, Cialis lasts much, much longer than Viagra. I can easily see/feel results the next day.

I normally take about half of the 20mg Cialis, unless I'm going to be with a new lady, in which case I take a full 20mg about three hours before play, then 10mg more about an hour before. I HATE it when performance anxiety wilts me.

I'll also take the full 20mg with my regular partner if I've ejaculated the prior day.
