I went to my GP to get some ED medication blaming the blood-pressure medication I was on, but actually I think it was more down to age, tiredness, stress and over-punting. I'd had a couple of disastrous punts, one where I wasn't really hard enough for sex (compensated for by a great com and swallow though) and another where I had to tell the WG that it wasn't really happening and she went and got a bottle of wine and we lay and chatted for about double the meet time, but still no stirrings below decks.
I was prescribed the standard starting dose of 50mg. 8 tablets for the NHS prescription charge, however next visit to the docs I said they were fantastic and that 8 weren't enough, so I was put on a repeat prescription of 16 at a time, so effectively halving the cost. So easy now: ring up the surgery, prescription collected by chemist so that it's all ready and waiting for me. Unlike Asda no further consulatations necessary.
Doctors have a much greater license to prescribe these now that the drug has gone generic and is much cheaper. Previously they could only prescribe Viagra for specific conditions. My GP Practice is quite large and I never seem to see the same doctor twice. It so happens that the two doctors I saw were both young and female and so didn't seem to want to ask too many questions of a bloke old enough to be their dad.
One observation though: I wonder whether one becomes conditioned to taking these drugs when perhaps we don't really need them? I've had about three punts since I've been taking them when I have run out. Yes, I wasn't rock hard for all three for the entire hour (but I was for one), but apart from a little lull in the middle when I went a bit floppy it didn't really impair my performance. The problem is that now I have renewed my supply I don't want to risk not getting hard enough for sex again when I am paying up to £120 p/h. It would be different if it was free sex with the OH (although no dea now whether I would get an erection at all with her) but I don't want all the planning, anticipation and money to go down the drain and so I think that now I use them as a surefire insurance policy.
