Trimix Dosage

If I were making a WAG, I'd say between .1 and .2 (10 units to 20 units) is probably the most common amount. Some lucky guys use much less, so of us unfortunate ones use more. There seems to be no relation to injection point and results, but the whole process of injecting does have a lot of variations from one time to the next, seems like.

Off and on, varying between bimix and trimix for 4 1/2 yrs. No problems so far.

shipper, if you are hard to your satisfaction for 2 hours, that sounds like you are injecting an optimal dose - that is where you want to be (something that sustains long enough, but does not get close to the 4 hour limit).

I found that after I ejaculate and stay in bed awhile my erection starts to subside. However, If I get up and walk around, it comes back and Im still capable of penetration. Ive don't this before and my wife said i was just as hard the second time.

Also how flaccid should you be by the 2 hour limit? Although Im not hard enough to penetrate, my penis is much larger for quite awhile than it is in its normal flaccid state. I must add that I grow quite a bit when erect so Im very small when flaccid.

I also take 4 30mg Sudafed if necessary  

Any comments or suggestions?

No I only take it if Im not down in 2 hours. Its hard to gage as whats "dpwn" for me because i still remain large:

My urog gave me written instructions that were prepared by Sloan Kettering in NYC for PC patients who inject. It says that after 3 hours to take  4 30g regular strength Sudafed.

You right it IS 2 hours In the Sloan Kettering instr. After 3 hours you supposed to call the hot line. Luckily, I hardly ever go over 2hours. When I do, I take th Sudafed which seems to work fast.

I hear cold compresses also works. Have you tried that?

This may seem silly, but what is penetration hardness? I ssume its being able to have intercourse. Before I told trimix i get  almost hard enough

Ship,

Penetration hardness? Just call it rock hard or achingly hard, or no bend hard. That would be the type you might worry about if it was still around going on 3 hours. If it is bendable (in the middle of penis) and even a little squeezable then that is probably nothing to worry about. I've never taken sudafed even once .. although a couple times I did down a vodka or two to help things. Dunno if that helps, but it would sure make you be more relaxed if you did have to go to the ER (just let someone else drive!).

StrictlyInc - I think you have your terminology mixed up.
You NEVER want to inject into the urethra - that is the small tube that the pee goes through near the bottom of the penis. Since you had a prostatectomy, you have had a catheter - it goes into the urethra. There are 2 "tubes", one on each side of the penis, that swell with fluid when an erection occurs. They are called corpus cavernosum. You want to inject into one of those via the side. The bimix, trimix, or caverject are chemicals that get the swelling to occur.

I only ever injected a single time per episode, but if you did not inject enough with the first injection, as long as you don't inject more than is needed with the second (and you immediately re-inject at a different location), I would not think there should be a bad consequence.

Strictly, thanks for clarifying your post. Now I understand your perspective.

There was a post in the last month or two of someone who hit the urethra while injecting, and had blood leak out the end, and also did not receive an erection. I think those two symptoms would give you the indication.

Buckskin,

Welcome to HW. We like to have you introduce yourself with your basic Prostate Cancer journey to date.

"I injected today and had a lot of blood come out of my urethra and never even got an erection out of it. "

 

Sounds like you hit the urethra, and injected into it. That could cause the bleeding, and the lack of reaction. You'll likely have some burning the next few days.

Buckskin,

No problem. We do discuss ED to some extent because it is a very real side effect of Prostate Cancer treatment. ED does not have it's own "home" on Healing Well, and we do have to keep it toned down, because this is a site open to men, women, and children 13 or over who suffer from quite a number of problems. Once a member signs up, they can visit any forum.

For ED questions, I would suggest you try a site managed by folks we know here - www.franktalk.org. Because that is an "18 and over" site, the conversation can be a little more complete.

I'll also add my wish that you don't have to come back here because of Prostate Cancer. Get your PSA checked just in case.
