Got my first vile of Trimix a few weeks ago and it was a starter blend of
5 mcg ALP/ 15MG Pad / .5MG Phent. Started at 15 units, went all the way to 50. Used 5 times with very poor results
URO then gave me Rx for normal dose of 10/30/1. Have now used twice. Started at 37.5 and 45 units.
Results only slightly better than first vile, which is 2 out of 10 on erection scale.
After 2nd attempt with new batch at 45 units and mediocre results the afterpain was such that I had to ice up the groin area.

So, I'm at a loss. Wrong mids?Wrong dose? wrong injection method. (method is: following what most people say, maybe could be more 2/10 than 3/9. using 5/16 in 31 gauge insulin needle)

(Had Prostate surgery November. 65 year old, otherwise active and healthy)

I've read through a lot of the forum discussions but can't seem to see something which anwsers my :What the heck do I do now, question.

Thanks for any help you might send my way.

When I got my script for Trimix my Uro offered to have me come back for an appointment to show me how to administer it. I declined and decided to follow his verbal instructions. It worked for me right away. Maybe you should have you Uro show you how, just to make sure you're doing it right.

Got to the doc and talk this through. I went to the doc and it did not work in the office. He upped the dose and it has been working.

Got instructions from Doc before they would issue RX. Have another appt in a couple weeks.

The doc might need to adjust the mix of the three meds in the shot.

We had a thread about the various strengths of Trimix a while back. Jeff (Worried Guy) put together this table:
Ingredient Trimix Trimix Trimix Quadmix
(Max soluable dose) Single Double #3
Papavarine (30mg) 16.7 30 21.8 30
Phentolamine (1.5mg) 0.56 1 1.2 1.5
Alprostadil (60ug 5.6 20 15 20
Milrinone 0.7

Your mix seems pretty similar to trimix double but it seems to have less alprostadil. That could be significant since it is the alprostadil that does most of the heavy lifting. It is also the drug that causes the ache. Many guys find that once they have a dose that works they decide they can put up with the ache. Other guys not so much.

Have you talked to your doctor about the possibility of a venous leak? They can cause trouble even at high doses. There are things that help with them too but quite a few guys with venous leaks wind up getting implants.

My Uro was adamant that the first experiment was in his office. There were adjustments made over the first few months.

Yes, there is some pain, but the rewards made it worthwhile before the years of Lupron completely erased any interest. I still use it to clear out the pipes once in a while.

Talk to the Uro. That is what he is there for.

Thanks for the replies. And thanks for the thought out and helpful information.
I'll talk to Doc. and see what he says;.

Thanks
