I am in New York on Long Island and the compounding pharmacy is about 70 miles away. It is the one my urologist uses and he forwarded the prescription directly to them. They charge 120.00 for a 10 ml vial of 30/1/10 trimix with 30 syringes and alcohol swabs, plus 15.00 Fed Ex overnight shipping (135.00 total cost).
There is no rhyme nor reason why I have had the ED (mostly in the form of maintaining rather than getting, although more recently "getting" has become an issue too), since I have no real medical issues relative to ED and have always been, and am now, very physically fit.
In past years, I have had testosterone injections (15 years ago due to low T levels), yohimbe prescriptions, Muse, and all the current ED medications, all under a urologist and endocrinologists watch and nothing worked satisfactorily. I stopped the testosterone injections for several years but as a result of my GP's recommendation because of continued low T, I went on the Testim gel 1% topical and have been on it for almost 4 years, with blood tests every 4 months to monitor. My levels have been very good (actually slightly high, but within range for my age) during the entire time, but it did not give me any significant improvement in the ED.
I do wonder, however, if the testosterone replacement therapy might have contributed to my BHP and hence, frequent urge to urinate with weak stream.
So, there are no definitive answers other than the results with the injections are like none I have had before, in that they are amazing.
I feel like by using them I can get back, also, some of my confidence, and help eliminate that psychological fear of failure that I believe contributed to a worsening of the ED problem.
I am happy that I located this forum and I am happy to share my story and hear of others. It is comforting and enlightening.
Hi, glad to hear from you! I don't think that the testosterone therapy is related to BHP, as when we were young men, our testosterone levels were very high. (mine was 1287 when I was 23 years old), and when young, no prostate problems occur among most young men.
In fact, almost no urinary system problems occur in young men even though their testosterone levels are very high-comparatively speaking.
I keep my testosterone level at around 900, and have had no prostate problems whatsoever in my 62 years on this earth. I inject 200mg of testosterone biweekly, (self administered).
Your ED is likely related to venous/circulatory problems, as if you're physically fit and don't have diabetes, this is the most likely scenario. With type 2 diabetes I have circulatory and neurological problems to contend with, so I am thrilled at the results that trimix gives me!
Occasionally I have to contend with a 6 hour erection, but I know how to manage this without a trip to the hospital. No after effects have plagued me during the almost 2 years that I have been injecting, and no loss of sensation or Peyronies disease have developed.
I know New York well, by the way, as I have one sister that lives in NJ, and one that lives in VT. I visit them once a year. You get a great deal on the trimix, as I have to pay about $150 for what you get out there, and I have to drive 150 miles to Las Vegas to get it!
