Looking for a good over the counter ED med

[T&STucson 16]

Don't want to go the prescription route if there is a decent over the counter supplement.

[njbm 2,877]

I use Nugenix from the store GNC. If it works, I guess it is psychological. Viagra and Cialis work.

[lcmim 1,082]

I use Sildenafil which is the same thing as Viagra chemically. The difference lies in that it is far cheaper over the net than Viagra (per 100 mg) and th pills are only 20mg as opposed to the 50 or 100 mg in Viagra. Many times 20 or 40 is all I require.

 

It does still require a script from your Doc. It is off formulary for ED as it is still a heart med. (As was Viagra) My Docs reasoning is that minimum dosages necessary is a a good thing. He writes me up for 90 tabs anytime I tell him I am out.

 

It you really want to try unsupervised meds that sometimes work L Arginine, Turmeric, each has some vasodilator properties and the "Doctor yourself" crowd sometimes use them for both ED and Blood Pressure control. Your mileage may vary.

 

May I ask why you want to NOT use prescribed drugs?

[Kwaka 16]

Hi, my doc won't proscribe them, he said I don't need them :-(

 

Would he fun to try.

[lcmim 1,082]

It would seem to me that you are the one to decide if your ED symptoms are sufficient for treatment. s your doc sex positive? If not the problem may be his.

 

There may be good medical contraindications in your case. Badger him for answers.

 

Sometimes switching out Docs is appropriate.

[Kwaka 16]

Thanks,

I'm on other pain meds and happy pills which dampen down things.

 

Was just wondering if Viagra or something like it would help.

I tried pills from the internet but felt nothing.

 

Apart from yum cum, my wife said she could taste pineapple after a while. Lol

Supermale vitality from Info wars store.... Works like crazy!

Over the counter? If a counter at a grocery store or supermarket, any or all of these which help to control blood-pressure:

 

•Leafy greens; Potassium helps your kidneys get rid of more sodium through your urine

•Berries, especially blueberries which are rich in natural compounds called flavonoids

•Red beets

•Skim milk and yogurt

•Oatmeal

•Bananas

•Salmon, mackerel, and fish with omega-3s

•Seeds

 

I am personally a big fan of beets and beet juice.

Does the Nugenix really help? According to the website it requires 4-8 weeks for the effects, is that correct?? Thanks for the feedback.

[njbm 2,877]

I usually use Cialis, but sometimes add Nugenix. I just take it the morning of the day I intend to have sex. I think the Nugenix helps, but it is “hard” to say how much is Cialis vs. Nugenix. It’s worth a try.

[C&J 15]

Actually wondered about the effects of Nugenix being used on a daily basis? Anyone tried it for the recommendeed time and dosage?

[edman 24]

Ok this topic is how I got on this board, looking for ED alternatives to Rx drugs. I am not in the LS.

 

The best non-Rx one I use is called Prelox Natural Sex. Prelox is a proprietary blend of L-Argenine HCL, Aspartic acid and Pycnogenol (dried French maritime pine bark extract), plus Icariin from epimedium (horny goat weed). The Argenine / Pycnogenol blend was found to be effective in one NIH study. Aspartic acid is not for women, and bad for certain conditions. Ask your doctor. Icariin is a pe5 inhibitor like Viagara, but it is 80 times weaker than an normal dose of Viagra. PE5 inhibitor is to block the loss of an erection in progress. I personally have found Icariin to be some value for increasing libido in both myself and my wife. Epimedium is ok for women but Prelox is not.

 

Regarding Nugenix, there are two of them. The one of interest is Nugenix Ultimate Testosterone. I got into this because lab tests show very low T for me. It has all the right ingredients for increasing testosterone temporarily. It is expensive but Amazon mail order is cheaper than GNC. I have taken the required dose but I think half that is about as effective. I feel a libido improvement with that, but nothing to write home about.

 

I also take Cialis on occasion. It works pretty well, but not as great as the television commercials would have you believe. I can state that 20 mg tablet, the effect it has does indeed last at least 3 days and sometimes 4 before it wears off. My insurance no longer covers it so I am getting ready to order some from a Canadian pharmacy because it is absurdly expensive. The insurance companies quit covering it because they think a generic will come out later this year (yeah right) and they would then cover the generic.

 

I am in my mid 60s, and not nearly what I used to be. You young folks, enjoy your life now.

I feel something after one week or less, but it may take longer to get the level in your body to the maximum effective level.

 

By the way, I am not a doctor but I think it is not good to take any of these drugs continuously. Take a week or two off every month or so.

Do you have ED issues when you're alone with your wife? If not, it's all in your head. Im going through the same thing...

[njbm 2,877]

A woman customer says to the pharmacist: Does Viagra work?

He says: Yes it does.

She says: Can you get it over the counter?

He says: If I take two pills, I can.

Look into a men's clinic that does testosterone replacement therapy. Most have a PA on staff that can write a prescription for Viagra, Sildenifilor Cialis for you. You may also be suffering from extremely low testosterone as well. My desire to have sex dropped-off considerably a few years ago. I had my T-levels checked and I was in the low 200's. I didn't have an issue getting an erection when "fluffed", but my desire to put the effort into sex was nilch and I didn't maintain the erections like I used to. I started testosterone treatments last year and my sex drive is back and most of my former performance is back, too.

[njbm 2,877]

Do not want to panic anyone, but while on T therapy, my PSA score went up a lot. My doctor said if a man has the beginnings of prostate cancer, T will be like pouring gasoline on a fire. The T also helped me lose weight. But I stopped it and I now use Cialis. The T was very effective, but my father had prostate cancer and I want to err on the cautious side. YMMV.

[bjersr 49]

If you have low T levels then get to a endocrinologist. Educate yourself on what testosterone does for the male body. Don't get hung up on the "steroids will turn you into a monster" bullshit. I've been giving myself injections one every 10 days for years and it is a straight up miracle drug for me. Yes you have to monitor your PSA levels but if you are over 35 you should be doing that anyway. As far as ED drugs, All of the over the counter "testosterone boosters" are a complete waste of money. If they raise your test levels its only by just a tiny bit. Horny Goat weed is a very good natural ED drug if you can find it. If your doc won't give you Viagra or Cialis then find a new doc. I like Cialis because it last more than one day. I get the 10mg and cut them in half.

I have tried Viagra & Cialis.

 

In my experience Viagra is great and Cialis was rubbish for me, in fact I really didn't like Cialis at all.

 

The main difference was....

 

Cialis is actually a drug that you are suppose to use on a very regular basis, there are even "Daily Forms" of Cialis, the idea been you take one every day and it slowly builds up in your blood stream, if you read a lot of the Cialis information it basically says it can take some days or weeks to actually start working properly. On line reviews for Cialis are really not that great just a load of guys saying it gave them headache really badly and didn't help with their erections at all, or that they would get erections in the middle of the day whilst at work, or get erections whilst out eating meals.

 

In my experience ALL Cialis does for me is give me a cracking headache / hot flushes / blood shot eyes, if anything it makes it more difficult to have sex and does nothing to help erections, some people say Cialis is amazing, some people say its great, in my experience it was rubbish.

 

Viagra however or other none branded Sildenafil works great, you basically take a tablet and anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes later you can get a stonking erection.

 

I like Viagra because it gives me way more control, for example if I know I'm going to be having sex very soon (within the next 20 minutes) then I simply cut up a 50mg pill into about 3 parts and take it with a warm cup of tea, cutting it up and drinking it with a warm drink helps it dissolve super fast meaning it hits your blood stream super fast and starts working within as little as 10 to 15 minutes.

 

If I know I'll be having sex fairly soon (within the next 30 or 40 minutes) I simply break a 50mg tablet in half and take it with a hot drink or just water, the two halves break down a little slower but again within 30 to 40 minutes your ready to go.

 

If I know I'll be having sex sometime in the next two hours I will simply take a full 50mg pill without breaking it at all and will take it with water, usually about 60 minutes later your ready to go.

 

If I know I'll be having sex at some point but it might not be for a few hours I take a full 50mg pill with some milk which slows down the pill dissolving. I don't drink too much milk just a few mouth fulls and a complete unbroken pill. If I simply wait then after about 90 minutes I'll start feeling the effect, if I want to suddenly speed up the process I drink a hot cup of tea.

 

 

It allows me to have much more control, do I want sex now ASAP / will I having sex in a short while, will I be having sex within the next hour, or next two hours. Simply been able to take a pill and not worry about any erection issues is great, I can generally have sex 2 to 4 times depending and the effect slowly starts to fade away.

 

The only draw back to Viagra is that it really doesn't work with FOOD.

 

If you eat a meal shortly before taking Viagra, or shortly after taking Viagra it basically kills the effect, you get a much weaker effect. If your going to eat food before taking Viagra I'd make sure its at least 3 or 4 hours before taking the pill.

 

Also I'll point out that some people might jump on me saying "Oh no your not suppose to break pills in half because they have a special slow release coating that stops any damage or side effects, if you break the pill in half it will get into your system too quickly and could cause side effects" Well actually the people who make Viagra say themselves that you can break pills in half, they even make special Viagra pill cutters designed to cut 50 and 100mg tablets in half, so yes you can cut them in half.

 

The only thing I have not tried is breaking one into dust and simply necking the dust with a cold drink, I'd suspect you would start feeling an effect very quickly (10 or 15 mins)

 

I'm not sure about the rules in other places but here in the UK we can buy Viagra over the counter or simply order it online.

 

Its not cheap by any means but really I only use Viagra for threesomes and sadly its not like I have a threesome everyday.

 

I don't know how many threesomes do you have in a month? 1,2,3? Basically buying 3 pills per month to handle any threesome fun you have isn't that expensive.

 

I usually buy the 50 or 100mg Viagra pills, generally however I need about 50mg.

 

I also like Viagra because its easy to "Top Up" for example if you have a threesome which turns out to be much longer than planned, that you have a MFF threesome and end up having sex 3 times over the space of two hours and the girls agree to stay around and want more sex later on then I can easily wait a while then just take another 1/4 of a pill.

 

From what I remember you can even buy Viagra like jelly shots, just a lump of jelly with Viagra in which is suppose to work really fast.

 

In most cases however the pills work fine for me, I invite someone over, we say hello, have a brief chat, I make some drinks and take a pill whilst I'm doing that, we sit and chat for another 30 minutes by which time my dicks rock hard if a gust of wind hits it.

 

Some people have also said Viagra has a "Numbing Effect" on the penis, that it takes away a bit of sensation, in my experience sex still feels great but Viagra helps me last longer where Cialis just did nothing.

 

When I first ever tuck Viagra I did experience side effects, headache, red flushed skin, feeling hot, but after taking them for a while all of that stopped.

Red Bull always works for me.

I don't know of, nor have I found any non-prescription stuff that works to "enhance male performance". The good news is you can get a prescription for Sildenafil, which is the heart treatment version of Viagra (what it started-out as) and with a prescription can be bought for less than $20 for 30 pills. They are just 20mg each and Viagra comes in 25, 50 and 100mg tablets, so you dose accordingly. Check-out your local men's clinic and the PA there should be able to write you a prescription without you having to go to your doctor and explain anything.
