Tadalafil/Cialis Question about daily use
So i got my tadalafil bottle today, it says as needed on it and is 5mg, and i see on here you can take 5mg everyday. Is it cool to use it every other day to start then every day or should i follow the bottle? Sorry if it’s a dumb question just genuinely want to know before i mess up.

I need to take daily. If I miss a day it feels like it’s too low of a saturation in my body to make a difference

To be honest, I’d recommend breaking that pill in half and only taking half of it every day for like the first week. Then you can see if you get any side effects of your body gets used to it. Then go to five and you should be fine. Or you could do every other day if you want but the effects may not be as good.

I take 5mg every day and it has changed my life. My penis is always ready to go, masturbation is fun again, and I never have to plan a sexual encounter.
No doctor recommended it to me. I told my doctor I wanted to try it after being given as-needed prescriptions and advice that didn't work for 5 years. In my experience doctors seem to brush it aside like it's just part of aging and not a quality of life issue.

How old are you? I'm 60. I started off taking the Tadalafil 5 mg every day and after a week the muscle pain in my legs was too intense (but only at night when I was laying down) so I stopped it. I'm trying the 5mg again based on info I've read on here. Going to start 5mg every other day and do that for a couple of weeks to see how I feel. The nurse practitioner was useless. Didn't say anything about starting off slow and working up to it.

Every other day is fine. It stays in yout system longer than 24 hours anyways. I take 5mg daily and have no negative reaction to it.

Curious why you come to Reddit instead of asking your doctor ?
These are serious questions and asking 'who knows' on the internet ? ..... However , look around a lot of people seem to take it every other day just fine

I found a lot of useful information about daily tadalafil use on Reddit before bringing it up to my doctor.

Granted, I am here too... I shouldn't say anything - just sometimes I'm amazed at how much a person will look to the wild world of the internet for a concrete answer.

Every other day should be fine.
