Can your body become tolerant of Cialis or other ED meds to the point you need

to increase dosage or where it is no longer effective?

I hope not!

I actually have the same question about injectable medications, though... I think I have heard that some people have experienced this.

i was on 100 mg of viagra daily for about two months - who knows? Maybe that contributed to the decline in my performance!

How long was it before you had to increase the dosage?

All have to ad to your post is that you are a very lucky and blessed man to have full erections t 4 months mark, you are wayyyyyyyyyyyyy ahead of the curve and almost a miracle having that after a prostate removal...i had my nerves spared as well an only after 10 months i start feeling some progress, and now at 13 monhs have usable erections with the help of medications, i do not take them regulary , only when needed , i wake up sometimes with full erections as i was pre op, which is good news, if you can acheiv erections without any medications it wold be better to try and deminish them slowly regardless i getting your body used o them or not...
Good Luck !! and keep us posted

Yes I am very very pleased with the progress I have had. I do get the 80% erections without meds and full blown erections

with 10mg Cialis. I  have noticed with only have taken 5 doses of the Cialis, I can get better erections even without meds.

I was thinking of taking the 10mg, (20mg cut in half to save cash), daily. The dose does work for me well past 24 hours. This will keep me "ready" as they say, all the time. But I do not want to do this if it will cause a problem with the Cialis becoming not as effective.

I am hoping that with more time I will not need the Cialis at all. But it works like gangbusters for me without any side effects.

I am happy that you are doing so well also. When I was about to get my surgery, I thought full erections and normal sex was history for me. A great surgeon and by the grace of God I have come a long way in a short period of time. :-)

Having med free erections is my goal and I feel like I am on my way to that goal.

But for now I am getting good "mileage" from my Cialis dose. Their claim as to it's lasting

effects seems to be right on. I have been able to have three firm erections within a 24 hr

period each one resulting in normal intercourse. It is almost like cheating the dose nono   but at

about 5 bucks a dose, (20mg cut in half) I can justify the cheating. tongue

I had the open surgery, 3" cut between belly button and groin. It was done at the

NE Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville Ga.

Great news !!!
