I have Ed for at least eight years trying to get it back. I think it's a heart medicine that is stopping me from making a woody. I take Losartan pot and I think that's what's keeping it down.

The data would suggest otherwise ...

"Our data suggest that losartan improved erectile function and both satisfaction and frequency of sexual activity"
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11370797

"Scientists have found that men being treated for hypertension with the drug losartan, who also suffer from sexual dysfunction reported improvement in at least one area of sexuality."

Most likely your diabetes (Glyburide) is a major culprit in your ED ... what has your URO suggested for ED treatment?

I bet Trimix would help. See your Urologist

I would've never thought glyburide would be the problem. About a year after taking it I lost my Woody.. LOL so thank you very much. I'm going to go through the web and search this out I have a meeting with my doctor and about three weeks and will talk about this. But the problem with my doctor is I realized that I have low testosterone about five years ago. He was very cautious on testosterone. Now this last time I went back I was 302 and he told me we need to go to 500. This is what he said we always thought this was bad because of the weightlifters. But I came to find out and realize now that we need to have your testosterone in the mid range for good health. Since I've got it around 500 my body feel so much better. Now I'm going to work on the glyburide thank you very much

I'm going to spend one year from July to July working on my weight and lose 50 , making sure that the medicine I'm using is not the problem, right now I've changed a lot of things on my vitamins and it sure is help. But if everything fails or I get a little anxious I'm going to try Trimix. All the things I've read on the board, makes me think about running over to the Dr. and get it done.

Thank all you guys that replied

DO it ASAP. I wish I didnt play around all those years with the medications such as viagra and others that didnt work well. Wasted a lot of good sex and money. With Trimix you know you will be up and STAY up as long as you need to be. I think that some guys put it off because injecting themselve scares them. Once you do it a few times, its "old hat". I hardly feel anything anymore, and the results can't be beat. Its great for the wife or Gf too. Dont have to worry if the guy gets ups or stays up. Dont have to worry if the guys a little "quick on the draw" because you still erect long after you ejaculate so you can contimue until shes finished. And an added reward, My wife says Im thicker.

It's not so much the medication ... as the diabetes itself that is the culprit. Diabetes (without getting too technical) messes with the body's ability to create and maintain an erection. This is usually blood flow related to NO (nitric oxide) ... there are suppliments that may help with that ...
L-arginine, Acetyl L-Carnitine, Pycnogenol, all can be found at Amazon. (however check with your URO - mine has no problem with them)

But I came to find out and realize now that we need to have your testosterone in the mid range for good health.

Yes it is! ... I take Testim 1% (perscription) and DHEA (Amazon) and have raised my levels to 1250.

I use AndrogelGel three pumps a day. I usually do this in the morning , I thought I did not do it one morning so I did it in the evening three pumps. About an hour later I could feel myself being on the edge a bit. So I think I went over 600 that day. That's what I cannot figure out how you can be up over 1000 and control not being mad. This is not same that you're lying or nothing else I was just wondering.

Thank you for replying on my messages. It sure does help

because of all the people on the board I am starting to take L-arginine, then once I get about six weeks into this I'm going to start L-Carnitine.

I seriously doubt you can "feel" your testosterone rise ... as for my results ... depending on the lab used, mine shows a range from 350 - 1150. My blood test results on 3/2/12 was 1251. Prior to that I was advised to quit Testim 2 weeks prior and for 30 days after my robotic surgery. (Dec. 2012) My blood test then showed 693.

I have no idea what strength AndrogelGel you use ... that may make a difference. Your "600" is fine ... like I said I also use DHEA so that could make a difference? Exercise also makes a difference in your testosterone levels ... I work out 5 days a week ...

That only happened one time and the only thing I can think of is I put the gel on twice in one day. Here is what I use , three pumps per day (Andorgel 1.62%) just got serious about turning things around about a year ago. Started going to the gym twice a week until golf season started. Then in September I'm going 3 to 4 times a week for about six months. I would like to know why you take DHEA if you're on testosterone treatment. Thank you for your reply

P.S last month my test came in at 350 finally the doctor says were going to 600 so he up the dose by one pump. In about six weeks I go back for testing. The doctor said I should be taking a shot once a week I do not know if that's a combination yet.

I'm sure you could Google the benefits of DHEA ...
[Example]
The Benefits of Taking DHEA
http://www.livestrong.com/article/35230 ... a/?LS-2659
"DHEA, is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands which is then converted to steroid sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen in the body."

The doctor said I should be taking a shot once a week I do not know if that's a combination yet.

Most likely the shot would be instead of the gel ... although going to the Doc once a week (for me) would be very inconvenient ... let alone paying for weekly visits, or co-pays.
