My Levitra Experiment - opinions wanted

[andiron]

In the past I've tried Viagra. I wouldn't describe it as the best feeling...or a feeling of heightened sexuality...but I would say that getting an erection was easy and quite strong. I cannot remember the strength...but the Viagra I used was from my doctor as a sample after it first came to market. I've gone years now where I did not use the Viagra. I didn't like the facial flush and the headache. Still...I would have to say it worked very well. The slightest arousal of my mind caused me to have an erection. I would say my problems are mostly due to anxiety. NOW...fast forward to the present. I went to my doctor and asked him about the different pills. He only had samples of Levitra on hand. So..he gave me a few packs of 10mg. Levitra pills.

Tonight...I decided to give it a trial run. Just about 2 hours ago I took half of a 10mg pill. I waited for 30 minutes and tried to think really arousing thoughts. I had no erection coming about...so at the 40 minute mark I decided to take the other half of the pill. So...it was staggered...but I finally had the full pill on board within 40 minutes. At the one hour point from taking the first 5mg...I decided I should be able to have a rock cutter of an erection. But I did not. So...I got up and went to the computer. I tried to get some images on the screen that would be arousing. I accidentally got more than I bargained for and ran into some really hard core images. Well...I started to spring to life...but not even as good as usual. Keep in mind...there was no performance anxiety going on here! I continued to fantasize and was able to satisfy myself. But...I must say...I don't know how much the pill helped! I can say that I had half of a pizza earlier this evening...with plenty of cheese. Don't know if that could of had an effect on the results. Any flushing I feel is minor compared to my memory of the Viagra. I sit here now...2 hours later and don't have a headache. Interestingly enough, I almost felt like my penis was a little on the numb side after taking this pill. It's hard to describe. So..now I'm afraid to depend on the Levitra when the performance really counts!

Good: minor amount of flushing, no headache, vision normal. Felt a little assistance with erection..but not much.

Bad: not sure it's going to work for me when I really want to depend on it! Didn't feel the enhanced 20 year old man...diamond cutter feelings that I expected. (read somewhere in these forums where an 80 year old man said Levitra gave him the best he'd ever had)

So...should I just take it for granted that Viagra worked better for me and pack up the Levitra? Should I take the 10mg all at once and not have any food first? Should I up the dose to 20mg?

I know a sexual encounter is coming soon...and I don't want to worry! I want to rock her world!

What do you think?

Viagra is my choice.
Whatever you decide to take, take the doctor's recommended dose all at once.
I find that food interferes with the drug's absorption.
Don't know your current situation, but I'd check with the doc before upping your dose.

The Levitra I took was from sample packs given to me by my doctor. They are 10mg. He told me I could try cutting them in half. I'm sure my next move would be to see what they do for me at 10mg. I like the idea of being able to take the Levitra after having a few drinks without worrying. Still, if it doesn't work any better than what I experienced the other day...then it's a bust and I will need to move on to Cialis or back to Viagra. I took the whole 10mg sample of Levitra...but with one half first...and then the other half about 40 minutes later. The results were not so great. Strange...because I expected to be impressed!

Years ago I tried Viagra....I remember sitting in a hot tub...usually and erection killer for me...and found myself getting aroused. That's when I knew Viagra worked! Still, the facial flushing, congested sinuses and headache were enough to wean me off of the Viagra. I really only needed Viagra to help with performance anxiety. Interestingly enough...the anxiety is back and in rare form! So...I will give Levitra another try. Has anyone else had similar results with Levitra? Is it possible that it just doesn't work as well for me? This would be surprising since I've read that it targets and inhibits the erection killing substance within your body more specifically than with Viagra.

Really would like to hear from people who have tried both! Thanks!

It is supposed to be taken an hour before any sexual ativity unlike Viagra where you can take as soon as 15 mintues before. Everyone is different when it comes to these drugs. I personally do not like Viagra. It makes my heart race, my face is flushed and it just increases my performance anxiety, although it does give me the best "rock" hard erection of any of the drugs. I take Levitra. It works without giving me the increased heart rate and flushed face feeling. Erections are still hard just not the diamond cutters like Viagra. This is OK though becuase I am more relaxed on Viagra. I know it will work. To me it also works differently than Viagra. With Viagra all I had to do was think about sex or see wife on sexy nighty and pow there it was rock hard erection. With Levtitra it works a little slower and I need some touching fore play to get it going. Hope this helps.

I use the 20 mg. Levitra and have no problems with erection intensity. However, I've never used Viagra.
