It is useless. Yes, it seems to make the act of standing up a bit easier but that is all, I don't have trouble standing anyway. Then for the next day I felt terrible. Slight headache, sensitive eyes, I just felt bad. This stuff is a rip off for most men. Lots of women like a nice long hug anyway :) I took one just because I was curious, just like the med companies hope. It is useless.

I never thought of the blue pill before but to be honest i dont trust it. "Why to use it if no need" i say, and come on is your health you are playing with. Personally i wouldn't try it if maybe i didn't really need it. Hmm.

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 05:29:44 +0000 http://onemansblog.com/?p=5999#comment-51172 Thanks for chiming in Dr. G. I certainly wasn't out to take a shot at Pfizer initially, and I tried to write a balanced and well informed article here. I believe I was completely fair in my approach, and several others have echoed the sentiment that they experienced similar symptoms as well. But the reason that I took the medicine was exactly because I don't need it, and neither do the masses of men who Pfizer is clearly, clearly marketing it to. When you see Viagra commercials plastered all over Nascar, sporting events, fitness magazines, etc. you can't tell me they aren't targeting a specific market, namely the well-to-do recreational users. As a former Chief Marketing Officer, I can guarantee you that the folks over there know exactly what they are doing. And by the way, I don't mind! I mean the pills seem to be very safe, so I say market away! BUT! And it's a big But! People need to talk about the recreational use of the product to let others know that it's not all the big rosy picture that Pfizer paints. I took the pill and felt much worse than usual, not better. And I did it more than once just to make sure it wasn't an unrelated reaction. The problem is, and Pfizer knows it, that most men will not talk about this subject. In fact, it took me two months of discussion with my wife to get work up the courage to post it myself. So, I'm really glad it works for some people, and I'm very, very pleased that it helps them achieve intimacy which they otherwise can't. Being married for two decades myself, I know the value of intimacy in a relationship. And on top of all that, I want us to talk about what happens either when you need it, or when you don't. Cheers, John P. Thanks for chiming in Dr. G.

Do you take cold medication when you don't have a cold just so you can complain about the side-effects? That isn't doing your part of managing your health. I do take it because I need it. It works well for me and I don't have any of the symptoms you describe except I wake up with a headache which goes away within 5 minutes of waking up. That's a great tradeoff for avoiding a massive feeling of failure and frustration when I couldn't perform after romancing my wife. I didn't expect it to make me horny than hell, bigger than a breadbox, or able to last until 3 am . . . because it isn't marketed to do that, except in your imagination. You are right about the expense, it's a little high especially when don't need it, but if you do, have your doc write for the 100mg tab, buy it online at a legit American pharmacy and cut the pills in half or even thirds if that is enough of a kick. For any of you guys who feel you might need it, your doc (especially cardio, GP's and urologists, but not eyedocs like me) probably has tons of free samples but YOU need to bring it up. Don't be embarrassed, they (probably take it themselves) and their nurses (who take it home for their husbands) deal with it all day, it's just another problem to solve to them. If they have the samples, try all 3 of the big sellers and see what works best for you. John, you're good, stick to writing what you know. You don't really know what it's like to need it.

I didn't suffer any of the side affects that has been reported here. I was surprised that when I took it I didn't feel anything prior to having my erection. I didn't feel hornier than I usually do but when we "got down to business" my erection was harder than it has been in many,many years. Also, out of the normal, was that after 45 minutes I looked at the clock besides the bed and could hardly believe that we had been going for over 45 minutes already. I think the one that got the better deal in this bargin was my girl friend because she was so satisfied that her biggest complaint was that you are advised not to use it more than twice a week. I also noticed that one dose still carried over, partially, to the next day. I've only used it a few times because my girlfriend had to return to her country and hasn't returned yet but I'm thinking that I could probably do pretty well with half a dose. So there you have it. an entirely different experience from someone that hasn't taken it recreationally but becaus eI need it. FYI - I am 61 years old.

A couple people have mentioned to me privately that perhaps I was just an outlier with all of the effects. But I just couldn't believe it. It wasn't that I experience a side effect or two. It was that I experienced the whole damn litany of them that convinced me that this stuff was no laughing matter. And for the record, I never experience any side effects from other drugs. John P.

I too went and tried the blue pill out, as an experiment with my girlfriend. My experience was not too great either. Although I did see results within close to 30 minutes, I also experienced a mild headache and felt a bit dizzy. I would actually say I was at a 75%. In the interest of powering through I went a long and she did think it made a difference (don't know how big a difference, and not sure I want to find out), and while I am happy about that bit, I am not to interested in trying it again unless I absolutely need it.
