Does it only work for a few months, years etc?
Taking 2.5mg-5mg daily currently.

Every man's experience with oral medication is different. I started at age 40 and Cialis lasted about 8 years. 2.5mg worked for about 3 years. 5mg lasted for another 3 years. After that... things went downhill pretty quickly. 10mg worked for about a year and 20mg delayed moving on to injections for another year. Two months after my 48th birthday I couldn't get hard enough to pen with 20mg anymore. Higher doses of Cialis and Viagra gave me a terrible headache and I struggled with suicidal depression over the next 6 months until I took my first injection.
How long oral meds will work for you depends on how quickly your ED worsens. Unfortunately, there's no way to predict that.

Thank you for sharing. 8 years isn't bad to be fair, not great but at 29 I'll take what I can get.
If you don't mind me asking, what is causing your ED?

According to the penile ultrasound I have both arterial insufficiency and a venous leak.

I used Cialis as needed for about a decade until it stopped working. Now I'm on udenafil (brand name Zydena).
I never tried the daily version and don't intend to.

I though you had to be born with a leak no?

A decade isn't a bad then.

I think 68CatFan gave you a good answer. There is no way to predict how long each male will tolerate Cialis use and how long it remains effective. I used Viagra for about 6 years, but the last two years it had less and less effect. When it did nothing but give me a headache, I switched to injections.
