Ok, so have read on here where injections were done multiple days in a row or even multiple time a night. I had a run of days where I have now injected for the last 4 days and my dick didn't fall off but it is sore.
I am using alprostadil 40mcg/ml and have injected 0.6ml or 24mcg. That is what I have titrared the dose to be for a decent erection with a duration of 2hrs. This is what's needed for vaginal sex. I can get away with half that amount for handjobs and oral and duration is still about 2hr.
I really would like to go on Trimix but my URO will not prescribe. I had to talk him into prescribing Alprostadil from a compound pharmacy. He originally prescribed Edex that was going to cost me $100/dose. I get it for around $6/dose.
Anyway, the ache is not so bad for the first hour or so but then increases and stays for a few hours after the erection is gone.
The doc said to only inject twice a week and had done more but never 4 days in a row and I don't think its really worth it cause the pain seems cumulative and has lasted longer each day. Of course there was the sex and I think that might have contributed a little to the ache. Was a fun 4 days though! S

Find another urologist. Also, I will binge occasionally on Trimix, especially while on vacation. However, you should not make four days in a row a habit. Good luck, and keep us posted.

Here's a second vote for "find another urologist." A perusal of the FT site will show that there's no shortage of uros who prescribe trimix. It will also show that those uros vary widely in their limits on injection frequency — once a week to daily. My doc is a "daily" guy. I have done 9 or 10 days in a row on vacation and, rarely, twice in 24 hours.

Thanks for the advice. I'm looking. Actually asked the compound pharmacy who has been prescribing trimix.

I think daily with trimix if used that way wouldn't be as harsh as straight alprostadil. That's one of the reasons I would like to try trimix. There seems to be some pain associated with the higher doses.

Once a writer!!!
On rare occasions when you inject twice within 24, do you use the same dose or more or less?
Thank you!

Yes, same dose now. But I used a smaller second dose the first couple times I tried doing the double. The drill when I've done it is one injection around 10 p.m. and the second around 7-8 a.m. — so a 9-10 hour interval.

When I do "two-a-days" I inject my full dose each time -- once around mid morning and again at night. I've never had any ill effects from that.

Time to consider an implant i am afraid
I did 6 months on Caverject and chose to get a Coloplast Titan before the needles scarred my penis internals so much an implant would be less successful.
I am not here to promote Implants but injections are not good long term
Do your research

As for research, what research are you citing that says "injections are not good long-term?" There are possible long-term side effects, including the possibility of scarring or Peyronie's Disease.

On the other hand, implants may fail or lead to infections. There is no risk-proof solution.
