In my experience no it does not but that is just one mans experience. Trimix opens up the blood flow. Alcohol should not play a role in the process. When I use to use Trimix, it was often after a couple glasses of wine. It never caused a problem except if I had too many glasses of wine I might miss with the needle and not be
able to bend my leg for 4 hours

That's why we don't allow Todd to have a martini.

Osier,
I find the previous posters truth to be self evident. Yes it affects aim.

To be on the labeling side. They state that it should not be combined with alcohol. Just about all drugs do. Which is funny. They also recommend alcohol swabs to clear and injection area...:-/

JNF,
Martini? You leave everything else open...Just sayin'

In my defense, it is a really small target.

Trimix worked for me when I was at a point where things wouldn't have worked otherwise, even before my surgery. A night on the town, a hotel room, too much wine, and I was shocked at how well it worked. I just had to be more careful to get the injection correct.

Osei, thanks for the timely post. I'm about to be started on Edex as part of my posrt-surgery 'rehabilitation'. Tomorrow is my appointment with the doctor to learn to use it. (I wonder: do I sit there until the erection goes away; or do they turf me out onto the street for an embarrassing walk home?)

Todd, thanks for the laughs!

Joe
