My short Trimix history

Postby rancidbanana » Thu Feb 27, 2025 11:15 am

Hey guys, I am new here but been reading the forum for some time now.
I will try and keep this brief.

A couple months ago I had a trial injection under Uro supervision. Injected 10 units to start, in the base on right side, resulting in minor chub for about 20 min.

Few days later I jumped up to 14 units at home as I was too scared to try 15. I had much better results, 85% (i think) erection lasting about 45-60 minutes.

A couple weeks later I injected 15 units on left side, nothing happened. I probably missed.

I am tempted to bump up to 20 units but nervous as hell. I had my GF waiting for over an hour for me to decide if I was going to inject but I was too busy searching the forums, I opted to take cialis instead lol

My vial has been in the fridge for roughly 6 weeks, probably more so not sure if it lost potency at this point. I do not know what the compounding mix is.

Should I risk priapism and try 20 units? I have Sudafed on hand just in case. If 14 units gave me 85ish% erection for roughly an hour, is it safe to try 20 units. My goal is 2 hour solid erection, more would be great if it subsides on its own within 4 hours. Thoughts?

I know I sound paranoid but I am genuinely worried about taking a trip to the ER. Thanks in advance

PS, without pills I can usually get aroused with roughly 60-70% erection and I often loose it during intercourse

Of course the best source of information is your prescribing doctor. Reaching out to them is the best practice.

If it were me I would go up to up to 17 or 18 units first. I think it is unlikely you will get priapism from 20u but there is no need to risk it. A 6 unit jump is almost half of what you are currently taking. As a percentage that a big increase. Why rush?

I’d rather have a chub for a time or two more as I safely determine my proper dose than to rush it.

Injecting is tricky; you must get the Trimix in a corpus - just anywhere will not do. I'm going to be more conservative than GoodWood and recommend experimenting solo several times with 14 units, a few days apart, until you get your technique down. When I was learning, it took me three weeks of injecting every third day to be able to hit a corpus more-or-less regularly. (Don't have girlfriend waiting - this is your trial and error period.)

After eight years, I still miss sometimes.

Look through the Injections topic; there is a lot of good technique advice. Two main points: if there is resistance to plunger movement or pain, you're not in the corpus - do not force the plunger. Push in further and try again or pull out slightly and try again. Neither working, try another spot.

Sudafed or phenylephrine tablets are the antidote. Wal-Phed PE is a Walgreens brand. FT guys seem to take 10-12 10mg tablets.

I've used year-old refrigerated Trimix with no drop in effect.

getting the right spot is slightly difficult sometimes. my first misfire came in a few weeks after starting trimix. it all seemed to go well yet i still got nothing, it happens. I’m up to 450 injections now and i have only had a total of 5 misfires in all that time. of course i do not give out medical advice but after being on this forum for over 3 years i have come to have plenty of 4-5 hour erections. do not let the fear of anything over 4 hours alarm you. i say this only if it is not painful. at first i got 3-4 hours of use to which that has calmed to 2 hours now and yet i still will have erections that last 4 hours an longer. for me, i get my use and then as i am relaxing after orgasm (if i have one as trimix has given me a bad case of anorgasmia but that is another issue) the erection will subside and come back with a vengeance. yes it gets rock hard again, but, like i say, not painful. in that time it will go hard on and off, so there is an exchange of blood. for me, when its really hard afterwards, i do a few minutes of jumping jacks or jump rope (my faves) and it will subside easier. i have taken sudafed out of fear but really have never needed it. for me, most of the misfires happened early on, before i started using a VED to pump up to get a better area to inject. that has helped a lot. i have had plenty of experience after 450 injections so now i can feel the layers of skin and the corpa so i know I’m in the right spot. i also aspirate every time to ensure I’m in the spot. i will say that when i had my misfires, i did not inject more or take any oral drugs. i just waited the 48 hours that the doc sated in the instructions. that is also a guideline as i have injected many times/ days in a row. our record is 8 nights in a row when my wife really wanted it. i dont recommend doing that and i have only done it once. usually i inject thurs-sunday nowadays but that is just me and i dont make it a weekly habit. if you get the technique down and use a VED, getting 2 hours is more than an achievable goal.

Anyone worried about priapism (which should be anyone still dialing in their dose for ICI) should have injectable phenylephrine at the ready. I've only had to use it twice but it has been completely effective in 5 minutes on those occasions. I wouldn't risk the ICI if I didn't have access to phenylephrine. It's not the first line of treatment but it's my go-to after 4 hours if chewable pseudophedrine, exercise, cold packs, reverse kegels, etc. don't work.

Thanks.
I asked my uro for the phenylephrine injection and he said no, its to dangerous and can cause cardiac arrest

All the other methods of addressing priapism are helpful but offer no guarantee. I find that only phenylephrine is a sure thing. My urologist started that prescribing ICI without phenylephrine was "malpractice".
