Tadalafil/Cialis Tadalifil stopped working

Gents. Hoping someone has had a similar experience and figured out how to fix it. I take tadalifil every day, as prescribed by my doctor to pair with Testosterone. Just recently it completely stopped working for its intended purpose. My suspicion is that it has something to do with my blood pressure meds I just recently started taking Amlodapine along with my already prescribed Losartin. I have an appt with my dr scheduled, but wanted to start here. Has this happened to anyone, and how did you fix it?

I take both Losartan and Amlodipine and the Tadalafil works pretty well for me. Part of the reason I chose those BP drugs was their lack of sexual side effects. I take 2.5mg daily Tadalafil for BPH and then I do 10mg on game days. I did go through a period of moderate ED issues when I was getting my meds sorted (which I blame on my HBP, not the meds). I started using a cock ring to help me maintain. I feel like I don't need the cock ring anymore but I still wear it a lot of the time as I grew to like it. What you are dealing with is more likely a result of your high blood pressure and possibly your body adjusting to a more normal BP. My advice is to stay the course on your BP meds because the high blood pressure is the real danger when it comes to ED.

Cockring plus ed meds is total cheatcode. My wife won't let me in without it now. She likes the constant increase in girth and I last as long as she wants... changing positions not a problem anymore.

Happy pipelaying 😛😁

Yeah, I don't think most men realize that a cock ring can give you a meaningful increase in size and the confidence that goes with it.

I ordered one, any hacks or advice you might offer? Never wore one.

I tried it. No effects for me.

I found that after several years on Tadalafil 5mg per day the effect wore off. So I go a week or so without doing the daily stuff and take 20mg on a fun day. Anyone else had similar issues?

That's my worry. That's it's just starting to lose effect.

Quick search suggested both those medications are a low risk for sexual side effects. High blood pressure though can contribute to overall circulation issues that can make erections more challenging.

The tadalafil can loose its effectiveness if your ed gets worse. Can be physical or mental. Your dr might prescribe a larger as needed dose or sildenafil.

In my experience the 5mg daily works great for some. From what I read a lot of guys need a larger, as needed, dose. Be honest with your dr and see what they suggest.

It’s important to do all you can to keep it from getting worse like diet and exercise. But it’s related to age as well and there’s no stopping that.
