ONLY have erections while I sleep ... what gives?

Hi CC. Take heart -- if you have morning erections, it is a great sign. Be patient!

Did you say you take 5 sildenafil? I hope these are the 20 mg, for a total dose of 100 mg, the max. approved dosage, and not 5 of the 100 mg tablets !?

Perhaps try tadalafil (generic Cialis). Sometimes one medication works better than another. Note that the dosage is different.

All the best,

Djin

Viagra didn't work for me. Cialis did.

My surgery was 12/9 and nothing yet. The doc has me on 5 mg of cialis that I take in the am. At the last appointment he said I could experiment a couple times a week taking an additional 10mg to see if I could make magic.

I've wondered if taking it at night would be better since my testosterone levels are higher in the AM? Taking the pills in the AM and waiting until the kids go to bed at 11pm probably is counter productive. Maybe the combo of the extra pills will work at night instead....wake the wife up with a surprise.

How is your testosterone? Mine is low but before surgery I could get okay erections in the am even without the meds. Night erections were just coming back before the surgery.
