Not sure what you mean by me blaming you? I was agreeing with you.
I would certainly be 'disappointed' if a GP didn’t follow the correct prescribing guidelines (as below) and I’m confident the majority do, but sadly I wouldn’t be surprised if some didn’t and perhaps Lilly is an example?
In relation to your initial reply to Horsa I took it that you were maybe hinting he hadn’t actually been prescribed it by a doctor, but had self medicated and that was my thought process also.
There will be a great many members who have self medicated, especially those who first tried ED meds some years ago. The most economical tablet strength to purchase on the internet is 100mg and then split it accordingly and this is then more likely to result in people deciding to take 100mg “to be on the safe side and avoid disappointment” when they don’t really need it as they are using it ‘recreationally’ without really having true ED.
I have largely given up contributing to these threads, but did so as I felt Justapunter was repeatedly posting with authority on the subject, when he clearly is not.

I thought that comment was aimed at Justapunter not you Doc but it was how the reply was laid out that perhaps made it look like you
I've only just started getting ED meds about 6 months ago from Numan and they recommended 50mg as a starting point which i'm sure will be the norm for most people.
After 1st test driving one at home on my own I was well impressed and had a few really decent punts with the stuff then started cutting the pills in half and didn't seem to have any performance drop off just taking 25mg
All of a sudden about 4 punts ago and with a top girl i'd seen a few days before and been rock solid I struggled a bit and on a recent punt I went back to 50mg just in case but still struggled a bit
I'm wondering if it's possible that it stops working as well over time if you keep taking it or whether it's due to a whole range of other factors
Some of these punts have been a couple of hours after a full gym session when i'm starting to get tired and hungry.
The problem now is that performance anxiety is back which I know only makes things worse
Anyway i'm off punting for a week or two over Xmas as visiting family and friends so hopefully back to normal when I return, perhaps I just need a break from it to recharge the batteries
Incidentally I just got my 2nd order a couple of weeks ago and went for the 20 x 50mg option again as it works out more cost effective especially if you can cut them in half, I also had something like a 40% or 50% black Friday discount as I hadn't ordered for about 5 or 6 months (PS they don't know i'm a white guy but i'm keeping quiet
)
Anyway when I opened the box I had 5 strips of 4 tablets but when I looked they seemed different and the foil artwork has changed however on closer inspection they have sent me 2 strips of 50mg which is correct and 3 strips of 100mg which is the wrong dose.
It's not the wrong foil as the tablets are bigger but it's pretty poor control of medicines on their part, i've worked in the pharma industry years ago and i'm guessing this could potentially trigger a stock recall if I reported it
