Viagra/Cialis suddenly stopped working

Postby Graykid76 » Sat Jul 23, 2022 12:10 am

Hello,

I had Viagra and Cialis working for me at 20mg and 10mg each, then suddenly both had zero effect. I upped the dosage for viagra to 60mg and Cialis to 20mg without any effects.

Scarred here about what is going on with my body…

The change was with in one week.

Also I had bad heartburn when using both, but no heartburn with larger dosage.. this seems very strange.

It it just my body adjusted to medicine or my penile arteries just shut down?

Not using any prescription drugs.

So nothing obvious changed.

Set up appointment with Primary care doctor and a urologist.

Would like to ask for Doppler ultrasound and additional blood tests.

Hopefully these can show something that is out of order.

I have been using Cialis or Viagra for about 4 months now… but never together.

If you read through a lot of older posts and signatures, you might notice common comments including the words; “inconsistent results” and “stopped working” from guys who used PDE5s for a period of time. ED doesn’t stand still, it only gets worse as we age. Hate to sound like Debbie Downer but that seems to be the grim reality. You are doing the right thing in seeking medical advice and this form can be an excellent resource. Best of luck to you.

Maybe a bad batch of meds, if it is so sudden.

It’s summer, it’s hot, maybe it got baked in a hot container in the transport chain. If you got them by mail during a heat wave, they almost certainly got baked.

Also, if it is a generic, there are many reports online of some generics not working well. I got a generic substitute for viagra from a US chain supermarket pharmacy and I know they don’t have much active drug, if any, because from viagra I get blue vision but these cause no effect on vision at all, meaning they’re bunk.
