multiple dose

[BJohn67y]

Much, much discussion re getting an adequate injection dose. Question: Why not another? I have never seen this mentioned.

In other words, if your injection did not produce satisfactory hardness or duration after, say, ten minutes, take another "stab" (preferably on the other side). Could be the same amount again or more or less or whatever. Clearly more "efficient" than waiting a day and starting from scratch again.

I think it has to do with a second injection increasing the possibility of priapism. When I was injecting, I gave myself a second shot, with no ill effects. But doctors recommend against it.

For the benefit of our super conservative docs:

Say you tried 10 units. Not satisfactory. So try again tomorrow at 15. This is typical approach. All I am suggesting is do now what you intended for tomorrow. Two obvious benefits. From an experimental perspective, you avoid introduction of exogenous factors the next day....like diet, like partner's attitude, etc. But more importantly, you're using the 10 units plus 5. Otherwise, you've used 10+15 to determine the same thing.

I don't agree. If you're trying to titrate then you are adding unknowns if you take a second shot. The first shot may or may not have been a complete or partial miss. You have no idea how much your combined dose would equal.

Although not recommended I can see taking a second shot if the first was a full or partial miss [and you already have the experience to know that. That knowledge, based on experience, would hopefully minimize the risk of the second shot causing an overdose.

PS: This topic has come up before.

The second shot, since the medication dilated blood vessels, could cause more internal bleeding of the tissue trauma at the location of the first shot, which can then lead to more scarring. That's one reason I've seen mentioned that kinda makes sense.

Of course, in the heat of the moment when you need to get off and a partner who might be disappointed is part of the picture, are you going to listen to your big head or your little head? I've done the latter too many times.

I think we are making my suggestion / example more complicated than it is.

All I am saying is, having decided how much increase you are going to try next time (eg. total 15) take the increase (5) his time, after say ten minutes or so, on the other side. Fresh syringe, obviously.

It seems that one of the biggest issues new users have while trying to titrate to the ideal dose is full or partial misses. If you are experienced, know your proper dose well, and then have a partial miss, you will likely know what happened and would possibly be able to safely stack on another shot based on your response to the first. Until you reach that level of experience and justified confidence, you're just shooting craps and are risking an ER trip.

Do whatever you want. It's your dick. But don't suggest to others that it's a safe practice.

I would listen to bidoink, to my knowledge the only one here who has kept getting good results from injections for many years.

Much, much discussion re getting an adequate injection dose. Question: Why not another? I have never seen this mentioned.

Can you clarify, Is this your normal dose?
Or are you trying to find your ideal dosage?

In finding my dosage, I did several solo injections.
If you are new, I would suggest waiting, since you dont know if you you missed the target spot, or if the dosage was too low.

As far as wait time, Some users takes 5 minutes for the medication to start working others take 15 minutes.
