Starting on Quadmix.

[Nugget]

After having a RAP in September 23, I have asked my surgeon to start me on injections to help with my ED. He has put me on Quadmix.
Prostaglandin 10mcg
Phentolamine Mesylate 1mg
Papaverine Hydrochloride 30mg
Atropine Sulphate.18mg
I have worked my way through the different doses, from 5mg to 30mg which I’m told if I have no joy I will be prescribed a stronger mix.
I’m pretty sure ive been injecting correctly, but I have had the same result with the dose of 5mg all the way to 30mg each time, getting a chubby with in a couple of minutes and then nothing else.
I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this also. Reading through other posts it seems a lot of people seem to have instant success.

After Viagra and Trimix stopped working for me I moved to Quadmix. The first few doses at 10 worked wonderfully. Then it was increase to 40+ until I only got a chubby. Guess my venous leak was that bad.
Have you had a doppler test? A urologist can do these to see if you have VL.

Your current mix is not strong. I'm not sure how much of it you've been injecting. The dose is generally given in U-100 insulin units, because U-100 insulin syringes are what is generally used. Alternatively the dose is given as a percent of a millilitre. There are 100 U-100 insulin units in 1ml. So 0.3ml would be 30 units. I'm going to assume you were referring to units where you said "5mg to 30mg".

Yes you can certainly go to a stronger mix as yours isn't very strong although I'm surprised your doctor started you on a quad mix. 30 units isn't a huge amount although being able to use smaller doses would certainly be more economical. Edex cartridges are a whole millilitre and I've injected a whole cartridge a number of times.

Early on after my RP an Edex 20 didn't do a great job for me. Now I use the equivilent of just over an Edex 10, almost half of the Edex 20 that didn't work reliably work for months after my RP. I could get by on an Edex 10 now although it would be a little lacking. So no, I didn't have instant success. Also, a dose that works for you now may be too strong later.

I'd seriously consider a novelty/sex shop cock ring that would probably give you a boost. You'll need to experiment. Expect rejects.

How sure are you of your injection technique?

G’day Guys.
Thanks for your reply’s.
It’s good to hear a little about other people’s experiences.
To Old Guy. I haven’t had a Doppler Test. If I don’t get a result with a stronger mix of Quadmix, I’ll speak to the urologist about it.
To Bldoink. You assume correct. The dosage was 30 units or 0.3ml injected with an insulin syringe. I was also surprised when I was given a prescription for Quadmix, as I was expecting a prescription for Trimix or something else.
It’s reassuring to know that the prescription was not a very strong one . I was starting to get a little worried.
I’m pretty confident that I’m injecting correctly. It was explained in great detail on how to inject and I’ve seen a number of clips on it.
Thanks again for your input.
