1st Trimix Injections

Yeee Haaaa

Len,

Welcome to the Trimix Trip! It'll be a lot of fun for sure. I too waited over two years before pressing the plunger. Should've done it sooner.

One comment tho about your dose. No uro in their right mind would give a patient .5 ml on the first try. (That's 50 units on the syringe scale). So, tell us that you really started with only 5 units or .05ml and that you are simply Metrically and Math challenged like 90% of all Americans. I use 5-10u or "regular' strength trimix (although my uro gave me 30u the first time -- that was a hard trip!).

Report back with additional results...

Ok len,

You da boss!

Must be some really low strength Trimix -- otherwise your Uro was bound to have had plenty of 4hr emergencies to contend with at 50u levels and beyond if it were regular strength Trimix. I can't see how it could have been avoided.

Since you ARE really using .7 ml, then I suggest you get the max strength Trimix that you can stand ( usually more PGE-1 .. 5 .. 10 ... 20 ..50mcg/ml are the usual increases). Since you pay the same price for 5 ml vial no matter what the formula is, it all comes down to how many shots you can get out of it, the tinier the dose per shot the better.

Higher strength versions are of course dependent on how well you tolerate PGE-1 -- ache wise. Some can, some cannot.

Hi ,
I just started TRIMIX and am having a hard time giving myself the shot ,the injector sounds much better,I will ask about it this week,The PA gave me the first shot I thought he said .015 then .025 but sounds confusing and the dosage sounds critical,his shots hurt so I'm hoping I can do better.It seems the first dose worked better.I am also using the VTS BY ENCORE I am able to get it pumped up pretty good but it doesn't stay inflated but sensitivity is good.THANKS FOR YOU INPUT!
GOD BLESS

YAY! Good for you. If things don't happen by my next visit in Jan. I'm gonna ask about it.

Gams,

I have one of the auto injectors from Amazon and it works great. I only use it when I inject on the left side of my penis. I do not know if your doc told you but you should alternate between the left and right side for injections to keep a scaring to a minimum. Also make sure your use nothing larger than a 30ga syringe, there is a big difference between a 28 ga and 30 ga needle pain wise.

I love TRIMIX and with none of the side effects of drugs I may continue to use it when and if normal erections return with drugs only.

I tried everything including MUSE before I agreed to inject. MUSE was like sticking a hot poker up my penis and keeping it there for 45 minutes for a limp erection.  If you investigate MUSE a lot of sites do not recommend it for prostatectomy patients because the burning is from the scaring inside the urethra from surgery. Muse is also expensive and can cost as much as $50 a dose without insurance coverage. EDEX from what I know is also very expensive and costs about $30 per injection.

ADC doesn't offer any thing other than the generic ED drugs.  Trimix is only available from compounding pharmacies as it has to be mixed at the location and kept frozen or refrigerated. Most cities only have 1 or 2 of these type of pharmacies. I pay locally $60 for a 5ml vial that lasts me for 2 months. My insurance will not cover the cost but $60 is manageable for me.

Good luck and looking forward to you joining the "Brotherhood of Pricking the Prick"
