Greetings, everyone. I don't really like to take meds of any kind but now feel like I need to buy stock in CVS so what is one more? While I don't buy ED meds from CVS (get them from ADC), I do take a pill a couple of times a week. I asked my doc if there were long term side effects and specifically if by taking the pill (I use either the Levitra or Cialis equivalent from ADC) I could grow dependent on them long term and end up taking them forever. He assured me that long term I would be fine and that there was no evidence that the pills caused dependence and that he had patients who took pills for a couple of years and now don't take anything.
As to the side effects, I got a stuffy nose and flushed face when I first started taking the ED meds, but as I have gotten used to them just a little stuffy nose most of the time (much less than when I first started) and no face flushing. David
