Been on TRT for about a year and it’s been wonderful for me. The only issue I’ve come across is the occasional ED. Not catastrophic, but now and then. I’m sure it’s a low E2 issue, which I’m working on straightening out.
Anyway, On my latest refill of my TRT meds, I ordered some tadalafil and was going to try and perhaps work it into my regimen or use as needed, not sure yet.
The meds I ordered look like this: Tadalafil 24mg (compounded).
I’ve been digging around a bit online to see if I can get some clarification as to what exactly this means. I guess that different companies have been taking tadalafil and making their own ED compounds using it alongside other supplements? I just wish I knew how much of what compounds were in it. Not sure how much to take.
Would anyone possibly be able to shed a bit of light here? I’d really appreciate it! Thanks so much!!
If you’ve never taken tadalafil before I wouldn’t recommend taking anything over 5mg per day for the first few days, just to see how you react. It has a long half-life so once per day is more than plenty.
I personally experience a stuffy nose at 5mg. At 10mg and above I get the shakes and a high fever that lasts until the drug wears off. I realize this is uncommon and although I’m not hypersensitive when it comes to medication, tadalafil is one of the rare drugs that I have complications with. You should start slow and work your way up.
I got stuffy on Cialis initially (that seemed to go away). I can handle 12.5 mg EOD with no perceivable side effects (other than, well you know). Viagra on the other hand. I can hardly get air through my nose at all. It is like I have the worst allergies. I’ve also gotten a blurry ring in my vision from it. I much prefer Cialis. Not much to deal with for timing it either.
So weird. I have started and stopped Cialis about 5 times, a couple days into it my head hurts so damn much I have to lay in the dark. I take Sudo for the congestion and that helps.
I’m currently dropping all my ancillaries and taking just Test+GH and I will try adding it back in slowly in a week or so.
Gray market or UGL? I see some examples of this on the internet but am not aware of any Rx guidelines above 40 mg/day as you noted. Maybe these are “value” gray market tablets that can be split or quartered? Similar to the comments I made on US compounded troches above.
I started at 5mg and had really bad heartburn. Split into 2.5, still had it but was tolerable. Went back to 5 and can handle it better but I couldn’t imagine what it would do to me at 24mg. I would be eating tums like candy and in severe pain from indigestion.
