No usable results with more powerful trimix

[toronaga07]

I originally was prescribed Trimix at papaverine=30,phentolamine=2,prostaglandin=20. The results were not usable even at max dose.

Went to another doc at Duke and was told to ask the compounding pharmacy if they had a stronger mix. Got trimix with papaverine=150,phentolamine=20,prostaglandin=200. Have been trying it with increasing dosages with no luck. Max dose is 100 units and I'm up to 70. Is there any point to increasing it past this?

Hi, my recent experiences with the injections started out on bimix ..then went to trimix .. then even stronger trimix .. in the end even at 100ml of trimix #13 the next step would have been trimix #16 and at a 100ml of the #13 is like starting out at 70ml on the #16 trimix ... I never got anything more than a bit of fullness no real firmness ..and the pain was incredible ... I'm now awaiting my malleable implant surgery on june 30th 2023.Dr. only wants to do a malleable due to my health issues and age ...

toronaga: Are you sure you're injecting into a corpus cavernosum? I have thin hard-to-hit corpora and it took me a lot of practice. I have to locate the corpus exactly with the thumbnail of my free hand first. Misfires are usually, but not always, accompanied by swelling on the injecting side.

Normally the first injection is done by your doc in his office. Why didn't that happen in your case? That would at least confirm you were injecting properly.

Seems like you need to have a conversation with your urologist. Have him look at the mix you are currently using. Have him determine if there is a significantly stronger prescription that can be written. If you aren’t getting decent results with 70units the next prescription needs to be 4 or 5 times more powerful. Most compounding pharmacies charge the same price for a 10ml vial regardless of the concentration. So it’s much more economical to be injecting 10 or 15 units each time than 70 or 100 units.

Are you getting ANY reaction? If so, what is it? Is your penis getting erect at all?

Just to clarify: I’m pretty sure you mean 100units of Trimix, not 100ml. The injectable ED meds are usually prescribed in units. 100units = 1ml. So 100ml of Trimix would be 10,000units. You’d need a turkey baster for a syringe.

sure comfort brand insulin syringes .... 1cc (1ml)... 5/16 length .... 31 guage ... does that clear it up?

Yeah, you were confusing U-100 insulin units with CC's and ml's. To do 100 ml's of the mix you would have injected 100 syringe fulls of the mix in those syringes. That might take awhile.

lol .. well I ended up using 100 units at a time and still got no results I was very disappointed with the whole experience .. Disappointed in how the dr handled the doppler examine .. should have given a large enough dose to see if it would work instead of letting me waste 500.00 and 3 months of my life fooling with it to only tell me they could see by the doppler that I had major issues and they sort of eluded to the fact they knew it at the end of the doppler ..

Also, saying you were using trimix #13 or trimix #16 means nothing to us. Those are terms specific to that pharmacy. Do you know what the actual mixes were?

No I don't but it's MenMD over in St. Pete if you contact them you can get the exact ration of what the different mies are .. they ship but since I lived fairly close I just went and got my order ..
