Anyone see a problem with taking 20 mg Cialis everyday for 2 weeks....I want to see if I can get away from using my trimix...I will be visiting my fiance' for 2 weeks next month and she will want lots of sex !!!! tongue

Cialis seems to be working for me now, I will get some and take it with me...just don't want to miss out and I want to be able to satisfy my girl....!!!

My guess is that you may develop some serious muscle ache! Im not Dr but advise that you be careful... Would hate for you to miss out on all that fun when your over dosed on Cialis.

hey Trimix you might want to try some bimix and see if it works as well for you as Trimix.  Bimix can be mixed anywhere and doesn't need to be refrigerated after wards so it travels much better. I tried with my URO's OK taking 100mg of Viagra for 7 days straight and it didn't work any better. mad

The directions say no more than 1 pill per day...so I was wondering about the safety of doing that....They say it stays in your system for up to 36 hrs but may not be effective after 24 hrs.

Maybe 1 pill every other day and then inject if I have to....just don't know what will work since my girl is not here to help me figure that out....

After 18 threads on you carrying Trimix down there you want to switch to Cialis idea

Everyday sounds like too much.. Try nothing for a few days and then try the Cialis and see what happens.

Did you have an honest open discussion with the fiance' so that she knows the whole story?

Come on Steve n Dallas......give me a break.....:-) I have a problem.....I like sex....have a fiance' that also likes sex.....and I am trying to figure out the best way to deal with it....

Yes, I was able to take trimix to the Philippines successfully last visit ( after 18 posts) but find that it was a big hassell and also does not fit a sex schedule of every day....I will spend 2 weeks with her and want to get the most out of it....I might not see her again for 6 months.....uggggg

I have talked to her about all this and she has been asking me if I think I will still need to do shots when we connect up next month.

I am just trying to come up with a plan.....

Thanks everyone for your input :-)

Curt - sorry I forgot to add more smilies to my post. I failed at my attempt at some humor...

Does she have a sister I should meet?

Rather than take 20mg every other day you could buy a pill splitter and take half a pill every day. That'd still be twice the 5mg "Cialis for Daily Use" dose.

i take 10mg every other day.  works for me.  i have a 5-month supply of the everyday pills (5mg) soon i'll give those a shot.

I would be interested in knowing whether you experience any side-effects with 20 mg per day- heartburn is common but acid -reduction medication will help- I have severe muscle pain with 5 mg per day- some men have no side- effects and tolerate Cialis quite well- hopefully you are one of those men- best of luck with it all-

I tried 20mg every other day some time ago when I got a batch of samples. All it did was give me horrible low back pain. daily 5mg does not.

Not sure if I would be able to have sex with the back pain (8 on a sscale of 10) unless I took ibuprofen, but that knocks me out, so won't be awake to know if the Cialis works.

I tried a full 20 mg dose for 3 days straight and started getting some muscle ache but everyone is different. They do say in their advertisements to not take more than one pill per day. It does build up in you system. I notice enhanced nocturnal erections even after 72 hours of taking my last pill. By enhanced I mean swollen better than without a pde-5 inhibitor in my system. I've read somewhere that cialis has an 18 hour half life in the body. That would put you at about 32 mg of cialis a few hours after taking one if you've been on them for four of five days. I used a spreadsheet to see where I would max out at taking the 5mg dose daily and it came out to 8 mg. The dose you're talking about is four times stronger so 8x4=32

Good luck and I want to hear the details of your encounter. Ha Ha.

Wow....Great information guy's....thanks for sharing...not sure what to do now, but it appears that taking 20 mg every day is not a good idea....even though they say you can.

Had a visit with my Uro today, and he suggested that I split 20 mg pills in half and take half of one pill every other day and see how that works for me...seems like that is the same as 5 mg daily....is it not ??

Something I want to clarify is 32 mg would be the maximum amount of cialis build up in your system within an hour or two after taking 20 mg if the half life is 18 hours. The next day 24 hours later you would have a little less than half say 15 mg left in you system. Golfnooch's post really illustrates how everyone is different. I've found that I can take 20 mg of lavitra at 5:00 pm and still feel the effects the next morning yet the drug is suppose to only have a 4 hour window of opportunity.

I would start with your uro's suggestion. If it isn't enough, go to 10 mg per day and see if everything is working ok with no or minimal SEs. If that still doesn't work, you can always up the dosage to the maximum. I believe drugs should be used just like a hammer, and the hammer rule is you only want to hit something as hard as you need to make it move. With drugs you only want to take as much as is needed to get-r-done.

Great information Guy's thanks so much for your input :-) I think then I will start with 10 mg every other day and then progress from there if need be.

Anyone figured out the best way to cut a 20 mg Cialis in half....even my pill cutter does not do a very good job. I got some samples from my Uro yesterday and been trying to cut them....

Is it still the cheapest way to go, purchasing 20 mg tablets and then cutting in half ??

Best place to purchase ?? I have no insurance....uggg

I sometimes take a third of a pill per day. I cut it in half as best possible but due to the shape it is never even. I use the smaller half as one dose and cut the larger half into two more doses. This way you are getting 6.66 mg per day on average. I offer this as another possibility for you to use. I too notice that there isn't much of a peak after taking a cialis but I do notice the build up. To achieve a peak I've also taken a full 100mg viagra or 20 mg lavitra after taking the 1/3rd dose mentioned above for several days in a row. That is how I achieved my first penetrable erection. On nights that I take a lavitra to achieve a peak, I skip cialis altogether. I do like to get off the PDE-5s after five or six days so I'll go on a three or four day fast. I still get good nocturnals from cialis after 80 hours. It takes a good 96+ hours for all of it to get out of my system.

My last penetrable erection was with 20mg of lavitra without the cialis build up. I'm 12 months post RALP and I know I'm a lucky man. I'm hoping I'm able to achieve the last 20 percent of erection needed to get rock hard wood again before I stop healing.

I remember reading a thread where the writer/poster mentioned twice how fun it is to experiment with the ED drugs.

How true it is
