trimix vs bimix

[tarheelgwb]

guys
just wondering. this post applies to those that have experienced pain with using Trimix.

i had prostate cancer surgery in march of 15. at my 6 week appt with the surgeon, i asked about trying injections. the dr didn't want me to try just yet, however suggested trying Trimix gel.
i was given a sample (don't know what the ingredient percentages were). later in the week i tried it. short story, it hurt like h**l. i talked the doctor and he informed me that a certain percentage of men do have pain so i didn't try the remaining amount of course.

current - i visited my local urologist and provide the info above and he prescribed Bimix. its working fine i suppose, even though the erection strength varies from a 7-8 most of the time.
here is the question, for those that have experienced pain (i think its the alprostadil), have you tried it again since?

i read somewhere that prostate surgery patients may have a higher risk of pain than non-surgical patients. to that end, i would like to try trimix injections. my doctor says that the pain would occur again, but i am willing to take the risk. i think that a lower dose of alprostadil may reduce the burning.

so it is worth pursuing?

It's totally up to you, but I wouldn't base a decision on one bad experience.
Did it hurt all over or just at the site of injection?

end to end....all over.....for an hour.

That's tough. I never experienced that.

I also experienced the pain. Tri-mix worked well enough but the pain afterwards was just horrific. It happened after intercourse was completed after every injection. I switched to Bi-mix and did not have the pain afterwards but the bi-mix did not work as well. I was having to use 80 - 85 units plus a 20 mg Cialis for a 10 -15 min erection. I went ahead and got an implant, much better for me.

I found this interesting. I may try Quad-Mix after I use up my Trimix

Quad-Mix: Papaverine, Phentolamine, Alprostadil, Atropine
Quad-Mix includes the addition of atropine which may work synergistically to cause smooth muscle relaxation in the penis. In a study conducted by Israilov and colleagues, 13 patients that failed tri-mix had a positive response to quad-mix. Seven (53.8%) of the patients responded successfully with the addition of atropine.

Tarheel,

Just so you know, Tri-Mix Gel (if it the same as the one I had used in the past) is only and very nominally Tri-Mix. Yes it has PGE-1, PAP and Phent in it, but the last two are in tiny microgram amounts that, although they might have a little effect (I thought it was better than MUSE for instance) it is not enough to mask over or in any way reduce most of the PGE-1 (alprostadil) effects.

So you just might do a little better with Tri-mix.

That said, if you are indeed getting to 7 or 8 with Bi-Mix then, first, make sure you have the strongest Bi-mix formula you can get (usually 30mg Pap/ 1 or 2 mg Phent -- per ml).

Secondly .. do a search for 'velcro' (Fun With Velcro) where I described how you can easily get a 100%-er or more from a lackadaisical erection by snugging off the blood flow a little using a soft velcro strap adjusted just right (looped all the way around scrotum and shaft -- that is behind the balls - although at base of shaft works too).

I know it works for me -- just wish someone else would try that and confirm here that I have indeed saved their sex life with my idea .... oh well .. waiting ...

I guess i will have to add a picture or two on that thread to show people the amazing results ... always nice to show off a package "for science".

I have traveled that same road, the Muse and Tri-mix injections both hurt for hours afterward to the point that I would delay having sex. The Bi-mix injections were less painful but less effective. I was using +/- 80 units plus a 20 mg Cialis for a 10 - 20 minute erection. There are bad side effects that can be caused by the injections. I opted to move on to the Implant 2 mo ago and feel that was the right decision for me. JMO

Kind of a tough thing pain and the amount can be form different things depending on your situation. In my case my cause it low T took me a while to come around and get help. When I started first with bi mix didn't work as well as I wanted tri mix did the job ,but like you the first couple of injections it hurt my URO felt in was because I hadn't been fully erect in a long time that was causing the pain after a few more regular injections the pain did subside. So if it's not unbearable pain I would consider a few more injections to see if your body adjusts to the tri mix best of luck!
