I am using 10mg Cialis. I know it advertises to last up to 36 hours. I have had good success up to 60 hours. I took a dose Tuesday night before sex with my wife. We woke up Saturday morning and she was feeling a little "frisky". I was concerned I could not "perform". Well I was amazed to find out I could get a full erection that left us both very happy !! Now this was over 80 hours after taking the 10mg dose. I do not know if the lingering Cialis is doing the trick or if the natural erections are coming back.

I've had similar experiences---response 3 or even 4 days later.  Even more amazing since I had a non-nerve sparing RP AND follow up radiation.

The half life is 17.5 hours.

I'd say "good for you!"

Wow sterd82, Great results like yours with non nerve sparing and radiation !! Congrats and best wishes to you and your continued recovery.

I was taking Cialis prior to my surgery in May and had noticed that it would last well beyond the 36 hours sometimes. Especially if I had taken an Advil PM or Excedrin PM the night before. I would wake up with "rock hard" erections that would last for an hour or more sometimes. I do think that your natural process is returning especially since your nerves were spared.

Good luck

Okay, now you have my interest in some Advil/Excedrin PM. I wonder what effect from the Advil/Excedrin had to cause such rock hard erections. How are things since your surgery?

Sterd82,
I had non-nerve sparing Robotic surgery and I assumed that no ED medication (Viagra, Cialis,..) will do me any good. Your story about Cialis working for you is amazing. My surgery was only 1 month ago but do you think that it is worth it to try Cialis?

I continue to improve. This week I have been consistently getting the "noctural erections" every morning between 3:00 and 6:00 AM. Another indication of things getting back to normal. In length and girth, it's also almost back to pre-surgery. I take Levitra every night at 9:00 PM or just before I go to bed.

I'm still on the Trimix Injections but have noticed that I can use less and less of a dosage. I'm down to 0.03 mcg/cc's which is a very small dose.

Way to go HB2006 !!! Nocturnal erections and size getting back to normal. antastic. I also have had some great improvement just at my one year mark. My full natural erections are like my Cialis medicated erections were. And my Cialis erections are as great as pre op. No constant manipulation is needed. I took my 10mg dose and 12 hours later my lovely wife and I were fooling around. I got a full erection, went in the shower, and came back to bed and never lost my erection. Never since before my surgery has this happened. Fortunately the Cialis works for me way past the 36 hours. this saves me a ton of cash. My lenght and girth is like before and I belive this is due to almost daily erections since five days after my surgery. I wish you the best of luck with your continued recovery. Bob D

Thanks for that graph, it explains quite a bit for us Cialis users!
