question for men (or women)

This is a question for men who have used viagra in the past.

I was wondering if anyone besides me had an allergic reaction to it?

I usually get a stuffy nose for some reason, which seems to get worse as I get older, to the point where I don't even want sex.

If I exercise every day, I find that I don't need viagra but if I don't, then I have a hard time getting off without taking the little blue pill (no pun intended)

I was just wondering if any of you guys had this problem and if any women who may have experimented, had this happen as well or am I the only one who gets this side affect?

Thanks

Partner got Levitra a few years ago because he has occasional issues with ED but he's never used it. When he has problems, it's not an issue for us at all, lots of other satisfying things we do that an erection is not needed.

He'll only take meds of any kind including over the counter meds like tylenol as a very last resort for whatever ails him so unless he ends up with ED as a constant issue, I don't see him popping the blue pill.

What viagra does is allow blood vessels to expand by increasing nitric oxide in your blood. When the vessels in your penis expand thats good but unfortunately those arent the only ones that expand. When the ones in your nose expand you get a stuffy nose. This is a very common side effect.

Yep, it's a common side effect. You could reduce the dosage to minimize the side effects.

I take Cialis. 5mg with no side effects. 10mg or more I'll get a stuffy nose also.

I think the absolute best thing out there is daily dose cialis. The starting dose is 2.5mg per day but it works pretty much like a 10mg dose after taking it for a few days. At that dose, there are very few side effects plus you are "ready to go" 7x24. You can go up to 5mg per day, which corresponds to a 20mg single dose if you need to and it still has very few side effects.

I get viagra for free and have alot of it stocked up (for some reason :(

I had been taking the 100 miligram pills and breaking them in half but I think I will try breaking into thirds or guarters and see how that works.

I use to get 25 miligram samples and I could stay hard for 4 hours. With 50, I can stay hard for 8 hours. I was hard for a couple of days when I took the whole 100 miligram pill and I thought I had a bad cold untill I realized the stuffiness was only upong taking that pill.

I am going to try a lower dose.

Thanks

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
