Hello

Hi everyone! Nice to be on this board which has already been a great help!

My problem started with the side effects of hypertension medicine about 12 years ago. This led to the prescription of Viagra, which was a vast improvement, apart from the usual story of spontaneity problems and of dreadful stomach ache. Tried Cialis, but it wasn`t so effective, so back to Viagra, taken with pills for the stomach!!! Talk about Viagra to counter the side effects of the hypertension stuff, and then pills to counter the side effects of the Viagra!! Then the Viagra started becoming less effective – age?? (I`m 69) or simply usage – no idea. I managed to get some MUSE. Started with 250 – absolutely no effect. Tried 500, absolutely no effect. Tried 1000 – some reaction, so I tried Viagra AND 1000 of MUSE – not bad!!

Then I tried Caverject. As 1000 of MUSE had produced little result, I started with 20 of Caverject – bloody hell!!! Best erection for at least 15 years – young again!!! Heck!!! Up like the proverbial flagpole very quickly!!! Only problem was it didn`t come down afterwards!!! After 5 hours I panicked and set off to A&E (Accident and Emergency = ?ER?). Fortunately we live 30 minutes away, and as I turned into the hospital grounds it went down!!! Psychological?? Natural??? No idea!

Anyway, after that fright I found this board, which was a great comfort. Lots of great information, which I`ve read with interest. Consequently, before trying Caverject again I went to the local chemist and got some Sudafed. Next question was, if a dose of 20 gave me a cracker – but for too long – would 10 give me half a cracker for the same length of time, or the same cracker for half the time. I tried 10. Well, it was the same cracker, and after 3 hours it was still impressive, so 4 Sudafed, and at three and a half hours it subsided. Next experiment will be a dose of 5. Again the same question – reduced cracker or the same but for less time?

The other area of interest is the use of Caverject with pumping. So far I`ve done a little mild pumping after injecting, and it`s gone well.

Look forward to sharing my experiences and learning from yours!

Welcome Shaker...

I am new here too. Just from reading through a lot of the info here, I am going to see a urologist asap.

Looking forward to hearing more about your 'experiments.' Sounds like you are onto a working combination.

I am also a Caverject user (in the UK where trimix is not available). My experience is that duration of erection is linked to dose until you get to low dose levels which give less firmness and duration. I suggest that you try a smaller dose and see what happens. My problem is type 2 diabetes related (I was OK on Viagra or Levitra for about 10 years, Cialis never did much) and have been using Caverject for just over a year. However I need between 20 and 30 mcg depending on how long I want to last. You might find it useful to get some 50 unit (0.5 ml/cc) single use insulin syringes 30g or 31g, 1/2 inch or 5/16 (I find 1/2 inch best). You can then adjust your dose very accurately by removing the plunger and putting what you need in the single use syringe. If you are using the caverject impulse dual chamber syringes you can then refrigerate the unused portion for later use. It will remain effective for at least a month in the fridge. The dual chamber dispenses 0.5cc (50 units) for the full 20 Mcg so 10 Mcg is 25 units on the insulin syringe and 5 Mcg is 12.5 units. Makes it much cheaper!
