> I'm thinking of asking my pdoc for a script for some Vigra, Levitra, or Cilais. Anyone tried these drugs? I tried Viagra when I was off SSRi's but was not too big of a fan of the stuffy nose, headache and flushing it caused.
You had good function before, so your nerves and pipes are apparently all in good shape and any of those drugs should be very effective. If you had unpleasant side effects from Viagra, that probably indicates that your dose was too high. Since your problem is apparently mild (you are able to finish), you shouldn't need much anyway. I would suggest trying 25 mg, or even 12.5. You can split the tablets with a sharp knife if needed.
Another way to reduce the required dose (and therefore the side effects) is to time it such that you will be having sex when the drug is near its peak concentration, i.e., 30 minutes to 2 hours after taking it on an empty stomach.
Best regards,
Lars
