Sildenafil: You thoughts, recommendations and experiences.

[Snagbadjer]

I've had sporadic success using Sildenafil and wondered what other punters' experience of it was.

If I go for a 30 min punt, I'll typically take a 50mg pill (from a 100mg one I've roughly cut in half). When it has worked it has been absolutely amazing, and I've been able to fuck non-stop for well over my booking time, giving out multiple orgasms on a good day. More often than not, though, it doesn't really kick in.

I've done an experiment this month, and taken one 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours before sex. On an empty stomach. It failed each time. Am I doing something wrong? The packet recommends taking one an hour before sex, but it seems to take a lot longer for mine to kick in, as I've found myself with a rock-hard erection six hours after a punt, when I don't even want it by then.

Your thoughts, guys?

Try 75mg or 100mg

You don't say how old you are?

[southcoastpunter]

i find it (half a 50)  works well - taken an hour before and the effect lasts up to the morning after. but you do need the normal arousal to get you going. if you don't (say) fancy the lady in question it won't work.

I also find that if i have been drinking or have had a meal i need to double up (take 50) and allow a bit longer (1hour 15-1.30). but as daviemac says lots of info already. ready up as everyone is a little different and what works for me maybe won't for you!

[PepeMAGA]

It depends what you consider an empty stomach. Can take hours to clear your stomach after a big meal.

[redmist81]

When I was in my twentys I d take half an it would still work into the next day 
I think they have changed something in it as its not as effective any more
Unless it's an age thing

More likely to be you I think. Your metabolism, any other meds, or just circumstances of the one day you tried it again…

[spiralnotebook]

Change your supplier.

[willie loman]

i supect stomach fat is a factor, slowing the effectiveness, try taking 50, 2 hours before, and 50  half an hour before, have a hot drink 30 before, empty stomach imperative,  at the end of the day, its really down to the girl in my view, it doesnt give you a bionic prick, red wine hangover useful, plus a garlic pill.

I take the same, it's exactly the same as Viagra but much cheaper after the rights open to other pharmaceuticals, at times I break the 50mg in half I'm good for couple hours.

Yes I take it on an empty stomach within an hour it kicks in, foreplay is recommended to get a really strong erection.

It could be your body metabolism taking its time, if you say it takes six hours to kick in then take it six  before, but someone how it shouldn't take that long to take effect.

[Gordon Bennett]

You still have to have some arousing stimulation to stir things into action. If you're confronted by a manky bedroom with only a stained mattress to play on and the lady is a bit rough looking with a surly attitude it is unlikely the blue pill will work.

That aside, I've found that I need about 90 mins for them to take effect and they work for 6ish hours for me. I've had some failures but I put that down to me being run down or under the weather rather than the pills being duff.

The other thing is to get yourself as physically prepared as you can. I don't mean a month at the gym, just be sensible about what you eat, drink, ingest and get up to in the 36hrs beforehand.

I suppose everyone's different and it's a case of finding what works best for you.

[Watts.E.Dunn]

I have come to a conclusion that the contents of your gut play a much bigger part than probally realised, i've done a bit of exprementation in this area and found that the longer after you've eaten then the better they seem to work. Course i'm not saying that you have to starve, but i think gut contents is a much bigger factor than a lot else.

Course a full on good sex ridden maiden is a great help, if you can find one of course;!!!!

[Watts.E.Dunn]

Just to add to that, saw a decent lady a while ago around an hour after some fish and chips, dose 100 mg but the bloody member seemed totally disintrested!

However a week later around 5 PM before evening grub, took 50 mg at a massage parlour and the bloody thing could have punched a hole in tha massage table whist face down on same!.

And said lady massuese was no Godess either!..

[JontyR]

Yep, its the fat content of the food which is the real kicker.

[GreyDave]

   Age and food stuff , Fat and alchool make big diffrence to me .

Am now 60 `s a 25mg in morning nothing to eat works great for a quick cheap Hungarian shag for me
50mg mid morning with a coffe works Very well to multiposton shag a Hot Brazilian and cum twice in hour ,
75mg Ive used at parties and events to shag through a few SPs and maybe cum 2-3times
100mg taken over a few hours in 25mg helps when I did walk up days and could do 4-5  at £20 -30 a go WG over an afternoon maybe 2 cum shots.
If anything eaten then i get a savoly effect though action EXCEPT just before cumming when the iron bar of empty gutness sildenafil finaly arrives
I ve shagged partner with 100mg and ended up giving her sore fanny as hard as nails and unable to cum for ages which although she enjoyed at time I was just bucking like a duracell rabbit I now tend to use a 25mg with her and do not try the stuff i do with SP`s as iron bar hardness and multi for long sessions is better with a professional 

[seeker]

Has anyone read or have any experience about the effects of
Caffeine on Sildenafil.
My understanding is caffeine raises your blood pressure
But Sildenafil works by lowering the blood pressure and relaxing the muscles to allow better blood flow
As I understand it , thus maybe cancelling out some of the effects of Sildenafil
Or i may just be wrong ....

[Marmalade]

Just had a very quick look at studies, evidence seems mixed but largely in favour of caffeine at least in the form of coffee.

My personal opinion (no real supporting evidence just gut feeling) is that freshly brewed coffee is nutritional, whereas the instant stuff is more like junk. Some doctors seem obsessively to advise on cutting down or avoiding all caffeine, but unless you’re at risk on account of some condition I don’t see much consensus to support that either.

Barring your personal GP’s advice specifically for yourself, I’d say just see what works. I quite like my coffee. Just not to the extent of feeling hyper. I hate caffeine drinks and prossies that jump about all over the place with their sixth can of Red Bull. 

[seeker]

I too like a mug of coffee in the morning unfortunately the instant variety.
Effects of Caffeine can last upto 10 hours . 
I keep fit and healthy and also avoid fizzy drinks .
So will just avoid caffeine on a Punt day and see how things stand 

[Thephoenix]

I tried some Mendurance from Superdrug some years ago with my usual dose of sildenafil.
It's packed with caffeine and caffeine related ingredients.
Made no difference to performance etc, but made all the usual side effects of sildenafil much worse.
ie... headache, indigestion, racing pulse etc.

When I want a fast response I crush the tablet between my back teeth and wash it down with a sip of water, preferably on an empty stomach.  After 15 or 20 minutes my face starts to feel warm, and then I know that it is "Game on". I have tried sildenafil gels, but for me they were no faster than a crushed tablet.

[Snagbadjer]

I've not tried crushing it but will do next time. I usually just swallow it, and the flushed feeling comes on within a few minutes. If I remember correctly, the most effective time was when I took 50mg two hours before a punt, then the second 50mg about half an hour before. Empty stomach definitely seems to be a must.

About time someone did some reasearch on gut contents affecting absorption!....

[shyleo]

If best taken on an empty stomach; how long after taking it is it best to eat?

[Marmalade]

As far as I remember it’s not absorbed by everyone at the same rate. Why not just eat after the punt? Or a snack to settle your stomach half an hour after your sildenafil. Years ago you could take cimetidine for an upset stomach which was great, cos it increased the concentration of the sildenafil. But I don’t think it’s prescribed as much these days. I think you can buy it over the counter or mail order if you can find a place that has it.

[shyleo]

Omeprazole is the same or better. Might give that a try.

[Marmalade]

Omeprazole is the same or better. Might give that a try.

No it's not actually. It's a PPi which works via a different, generally stronger, mechanism altogether (like esomperazole, lansoprazole). You could take it I suppose if you get stomach upset from sildenafil though.

Cimetidine is an H2 blocker, like ranitidine, famotidine, though for some reason I don't think they boost the sildenafil the same way as cimetidine does.

[surreyvisitor]

Not tried Sildenafil, but I did try tadalafil for the first time recently.  I don't strictly need it, but I thought it would be fun to try as who wouldn't want to stay harder for longer?

I took 10mg and after about 6 hours it gave me a headache and made me feel stuffy for about two days. 

Threw the rest in the bin, if that is how they effect me then it just isn't worth it.

[big-al93]

Omeprazole is the same or better. Might give that a try.

I was prescribed Omeprazole to counter the side effects of some other Meds,  different doc has just prescribed sildenafil and for me it countered the sildenafil, in fact I'd go a bit further and say it was causing ED as I was not even getting a semi in the mornings naturally. So naturally I have stopped taking it.

Just to clarify that you think the Omeprozole was ruining the effect of the sidnafil?..

[daviemac]

Just to clarify that you think the Omeprozole was ruining the effect of the sidnafil?..

I take Lansoprazole every day and it doesn't have any effect on the Sildenafil.

BTW Lansoprazole is 30mg and prescription only but Omeprazole is OTC and only 20mg

[big-al93]

Just to clarify that you think the Omeprozole was ruining the effect of the sidnafil?..

That was my experience, ED is not a listed effect of Omeprazole but there is some research about it. Possibly a combination reaction with the other meds too? But much better since stopping taking it. Was 20mg once a day. Fortunatley I'm managing ok without it.

[peedee7]

I found the stuffiness and flushing from Sildenafil to be a bit much at times when I'm trying to enjoy myself, almost like a head cold.

Recently started taking 5mg of tadalafil and I get very little flushing or blocked nose etc but the effect on erections lasts me all weekend.

Could you pop me a reference for the research you mention please. PPIs are dished out all over the place but are connected with a lot of downsides, especially when used long term. H2 blockers are less invasive.

[Watts.E.Dunn]

Me too, be intrested to see that!...

TBF I just googled Omeprazole and Erectile disfunction, using ED brings up results about other stuff. Like I sayit's not really a recognised side effect, but the first viagra worked, but after I started on omeprazole, they were having little or no effect (felt the face flushing as if it was working, but none of the desired effects). Here is a link to one of the articles, maybe research was too strong a term though.

Been told to start on Statins - Anyone had any experience whilst taking Viagra.
Have to admit I forgot to ask my GP

I take Statins along with several other medications and no ill effects while taking sildenafil, but that's me and my doc said it was alright, you might be totally different.   

[Marmalade]

The current doctrine appears to be to put people on statins now only if they’re at risk. There are good arguments if you dig deep enough that, like a lot of things, they’re bad for you in some other ways but on balance, if correctly prescribed, they do more good than harm. If your cholesterol is consistently low for more than twelve months though it might be an idea to ask the GP to review, or at least put you on a minimal dose. Meanwhile cut cholesterol with a healthier diet.

There are so many data on statins I’d have to trawl. There’s some minor evidence of a negative effect on testosterone but I suspect that is over a long period. For instance, Corona G, et al, The Effect of Statin Therapy on Testosterone Levels in Subjects
Consulting for Erectile Dysfunction, J Sex Med 2010;7:1547–1556.

Statin research is awash with conspiracy theories and pressure from pharmaceutical companies, so it can be real work sorting out evidence, the strength of the evidence and its clinical applicability.

[Marmalade]

Exactly. He’s quite possibly got high blood pressure as well but we don’t know. It really is a case of him asking his personal GP. (Apologies if my previous answer was out of academic interest. There’s little or no interaction listed between sildenafil and statins but best to check, and if the statins don’t suit, ask the GP to change them — there’s many sorts and people can react differently to different statins.)

Exactly my point, when first prescribed I was given the most popular ones, Atorvastatin, as they can be taken any time, however I had some side effects so had to be changed to Simvastatin which can only be taken at night. Simvastatin also react more with grapefruit juice so it says on the label to avoid it.

Without speaking to a doctor it might be possible to mistake the actual cause of any side effects experienced.

[newpunter9871]

A bit of back story first - been punting for a long time and started taking the blue pill after working in India (brought loads at 3 for £1 - from pharmacies in the box etc) and they worked well, sometimes great sometimes OK. As already stated - if you don't fancy her the blue is a helper not a bloody magician

After being back a few years  I run out of the blue pills and read somewhere you could get them from the GP. Well the GP gave me a prescription for Tadalafil and it worked really well. Only side effest was it lasted a couple of days (boner I mean bonus).

So far so good right? Well hit the 50 over the first lockdown and did my NHS health check and found my cholesterol was quite bad. Started on Simvastatin 20mg and within a month or so started to feel changes. The biggest was waking up in a tent in the morning He was back!!! After 12 months had another blood test and everything is going great with my cholesterol. I did start off with minor side effects - that was the doctor saying take them in the morning - my neighbour, who is also on statins, advised to take them in the evening after food and not had a single problem since.

So Blue pill -  Tadalafil =  but Cholesterol =

I'm really surprised you weren't told to take Simvastatin at night, the NHS recommend taking it at night and it even says "at night" on the pharmacy label, the more popular Atorvastatin can be taken anytime as long as it's the same time each day.

Just gone to check the pack and you are 100% correct it says "One to be taken at Night". I followed the GP as you think that's the right thing to do but I guess with Covid and lack of GP's at my surgery this must have been mixed up. No real harm done but it does make you think.

[Adrian Boulter]

Hello All,

Got an email from The Family Chemist (External Link/Members Only). Their flogging off genuine viagra 100mg tablets at prices I have never seen before. Gave it a go and got the parcel in less than 24 hours and the dates were April 23. Picked up 16 for £54.99. I couldn't use the discount code NEWS20 as I have already used it but worth a try if it works for you guys.

Enjoy

Ahhh bless  . But it's so generous! When we are only allowed to give main suppliers just over £1 per generic tablet, we can now donate several times that to help the young chemist or maybe his customers start a family (before they go broke paying over the top for viagra).

Nice thought mate. (p.s. do you know any places selling Durex at thirty quid for a packet of 5 by any chance?)
