Hey Guys,

Curios to hear from guys that have used injections: Tri Mix, Bi mix etc, OR, Viagra, Levitra ETc.

After having prostate taken out.

1 Which did you use, how well does it work?

2 How long have you been using it?

3 Were the nerves sparred?
Thanks

TriMix worked very well for about a year, then I developed Peyronies. Doesn’t matter much, I don’t believe, if the nerves are spared. Mine weren’t.

Injections were very painful and didn’t work for me and I also developed Petronies, so I abandoned that path. I am on VED and 20mg cialis daily. Some progress is happening but not yet there.

I had Nerve sparing RP22 months.
Used Cialis and Viagra and still using with no success at all.
Used TRIMIX but discontinued because of severe pain.
Using BIMIX with no succes at 0.45 or 45 units.
VED never produced usable erection even with constricting bands.
Everything failed.
Scheduled for IPP prosthesis next Wednesday 9/5.

I’ve used Trimix for over 10 years, it caused a lot of pain at first but that went away once I got right dose and got used to the feeling. I have a mild curvature but it doesn’t seem to bother my wife, I don’t think she notices because she would say something. She doesn’t hold back on anything. But we’ve been married a long, long time and sex is pretty infrequent now but I don’t think that has anything to do with the trimix...

MK1965,

Good luck with the IPP. I'm pretty happy with mine.

The doctor will leave it sort of half-way pumped up while you heal (so you don't shrink) but the first few times you really pump it up it will hurt. That's expected, don't let it throw you. It goes away.

I used Cialis and Viagra early on but didn't like the side effects. I've been on Alprostadil injections for 5-6 years and am having great success. Pretty much 100% effective and dependable. It's one more step in the process of intercourse but just gets worked into the routine.

I get it by Rx at a compounding pharmacy here in Dallas. Because of competition from drug companies or some odd provision by the FDA, they had to raise the concentration from 20mcg/ml to 30mcg/ml the last time around. So, with 1.5x the concentration, I use 2/3 of the previous dosage. .15ml in an 8mm 31g insulin syringe works like a champ.

i’ve been on Trimix for almost 10 years. No problems. Viagra made me see blue and cialis gave me back pain. Levitra works fine .... but I prefer Trimix ... it is more spontaneous (5 minutes versus an hour). My nerves were spared.

I have used Alprostadil for 8 years with very good success.

No nerves left. Trimix caused sever pain. At about injection 25 I got a pyronies bend to the right. RP 7-17 , implant, 4-2018 nothing is as good as natural.
