A 64 year old male - I have used papaverine-phentolamine injections weekly for about 3 yrs. I have had 3 heart operations ( 11 by passes) and medication I am on (nitratesplus others) do not go well with viagra and could even be life threatening.<br>The only problem I have with injections is a couple of bouts of really serious bruising,<br>However I am now more selective where I inject and also apply pressure to the injection site for a few minutes after injection - this has solved the problem - I inject 35 ml at a time and an erction lasts about an hour. My Doc said that a dose of 60ml can be used safely if necessary but to increase by only 5ml at a time to find the dose satisfactory. I have heard ::) that a sexually adventurous woman is also VERY helpful in preventing Erection problems - I must find myself one and try that theory out<br> ::) ::)

I've suffered Ed for about 8 years.  When it originally started it was more a situation of sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't.  Once it was a complete flop I asked my doctor who gave me a referral to a urologist.  This was before viagra.  The urologist mixed up a little injectable "cocktail" [pun intentional] and did the first trial injection of a small dosage.  It produced a reliable errection that lasted about 40 minutes at half mast.  I came back about a week later and he tried it again increasin the dosage slightly.  This time the errection was faster and more complete.  He then told me to use it myself and also increased the dosage just a very small amount.  I found that the final dosage was utterly successful and lasted 1-2 hours.  The point I'm making here is that you need to go to a doctor who takes the time to determine the optimal dosage a small change in the dosage can produce consideribly different results.  Once I was piggish and increased the dosage evry so slightly and had an entirely too long and hard an errection, had it lasted any longer I'd have had to gone to the ER to reverse the effect.  Since that time I have tried both CaverJect and TRI-MIX and MUSE  All 3 work however MUSE can be use more often.  Someone in a previous post mentioned using a injectable once a day.  My information is that none of the injectables should be used that often;ore like no more then 3 times in a week,  Even MUSE which is a far less invasive method is limited to every other day.  Also I believe somone said that Viagra worked on the mind not the hydraulics, I also think this is not correct.  Otherwise it wouldn't be ill advised for anyone taking nitrates, it is a vaso-dialator.

I am a vet and covered by the VA, I did not know that they had Caverject in the formulary or I would have asked for it years ago.  <br><br>I do think it is somewhat insulting that they make you get a new prescription every five doses.  I mean, it seems somewhat arbitrary - that is why 5, why not per dose, then you can go to the doctor and get permission to have sex EVERY time you want it.  If you are sexually active you can go through more than 5 in a week.  <br><br>Well, at $16-20 dollars per erection Caverject is just too expensive for most people.  Thankfully I do not have a co-pay with the VA  ;D

ozgreg,  Take estrogen and you will lose the erection in no time.  If you or your wife cannot get a prescreption for estrogen you could use some birth control pills as they have estrogen in them but do not work as well

P3 and Caverject-no problems

Post by bigred58 »

LexinSanAnton, et, al.

I have been using both P3 and Caverject since 1998. I am diabetic and lost a foot in 1996 from an infection. Prior to that I had not had a satisfactory errection for penetration for 10 years. I am 58 yrs old.
I would advise anyone to try injections. I did not take suggestions that I might be a diabetic seriously due to an extreme fear of needles, now I use at least one a week on myself. I use insulin needles 29ga, get them at Wallyworld, 100/$12.00.
I have purchased P3 in San Antonio, TX. for as little as $65.00/10cc. I currently get it locally for $34.00/5cc. I was getting Caverject on Medicaid, but the State of Texas cut it off due to Katrina expenses. I preferr P3 to Caverject, but both are ok. I have to use a constriction band on both my penis and testes now , I make them out of surgical tubing.
I made my own pumping equipment out of some plastic tubing and a refrig vacuum pump - works good, but don't rely on it for sex with my wife of 37 years.
I have been on injectible testosterone once per month, going to ask the doc to increase the dose since my level is a bit low now. Works good, my docs will not give me any patches or creams due to safety issues with prostate.
Good luck, Red

I'm myself seeking a fairly "not too expensive pump" for myself and also for the wife. Anyone have any info?

I'm a 30 year old strong and healthy man. I do have weak morning erections from time to time.

My life problem had always been 'premature ejaculation' until I got into a more serious problem: 'ED'

During the last 5 years, I've been suffering from an inability to obtain and maintain an erection.

But that's not all,

I have tried VIAGRA & LEVITRA & CIALIS but have ended up with the side effects rather than the purpose of these drugs: The pill gives me an erection within 30 minutes BUT accompanied by an unbearable headache, red watery eyes, red ears, red face, red watery nose, and a difficulty to breathe. Now can you you perform any sexual activity if you can't breathe and your eyes are red and tears running from them.

I'm completely helpless and looking for a solution. I'm financially comfortable, so money is no problem.

What do you guys recommend I do?

(please don't tell me to consult with my doctor, because on this forum I would like to hear some relevant personal experiences)

I have read a lot about Caverject and Muse and I'm not encouraged at all because:

Caverject:
- I'd have to insert a needle in my own penis! When at the hospital taking a blood test, I always look away to avoid fainting.
- The needle does cause some bleeding and bruising.
- The needle might cause very serious life threatening problems if administered incorrectly.
- Increased risk of contracting an STD mostly HIV.
- Knowing my wife, any talk of any needle is already the ultimate turn off for her.
- It has to be refrigerated at all times killing all the sex trips.
- It has to be refrigerated at all times killing any possible spontaneity.

Muse:
- I actually fainted reading how it is administered. (this is real horror for me that caverject seems more realistic)
- The female performing fellatio will get a burning sensation her mouth.
- The female will also have a burning sensation in her vagina.
- It has to be refrigerated at all times killing all the sex trips.
- It has to be refrigerated at all times killing any possible spontaneity.

Iv tried them all

Post by dhard02 »

I have a pump, tried Muse, tried Viagra and Caverject and prefer Caveject the most.

my pump producest a fater, and the wife call it a meaner looking erection than i could ever acheve on my own. But he recetion seaned to be about a 1" shorter than natural or other procegers to me. (As small as I am I need all the help I an get) and using the bigest band ejaculation felt almost painful from the restriction.

Muse only made the gland and the small shaft aound the urether somewhat hard. The shaft itself never got hard.

I will say with Caverject i have a raging erection hard and more constent and sencitive, than I ever had even as a teen. My Insurance payed for Caverjec for about 3 or 4 yeras, then stoped. Someone told me my insurace is filling it again but my co-pay is on the high side. I just came from the Dr and he called in a scrip to see if its covered and I have not gone to see if its cover at all. I hope it is.

I have some wild stories about Caverject if anyone like to hear them. Im not basfull or enbarased to easally.

I have been using Caverject (20) for about 6 months now and it works pretty well. Most of the time I get an erection that will last for about a half an hour. There have been times when I have pumped for a while before the injection and it does not work nearly as well. If I pump for 15 or 20 mins. it is o.k. I have yet to get the "raging hard on" that I would really like to have. The Dr. did say that I could inject 20 on each side to see how that works. I will give that a try some time, but it's really expensive to use that much at once...
btw for those that don't know me, I have been diabetic for about 6 years and high blood pressure for about 15 and take meds to control both.

telling someone you give yourself a shot can get some interesting comments from friends and co workers. But telling them you give the shot in your penis gets them all upset. But i don't mind the pain at all. Yes my insurance is covering Caverject again.

My erection last a real long time. If I use the smaller dose. I dose not work at all. I could get the 10mg to work sometimes if I would inject the needle and them back the syringe up a bit and take in some blood from the penis. This some what premixes the smaller amount of drug into more of the penis and would help some times. But the 20mp is so Strong for me erections last to the maximum 4 to 5 hours. Cold packs and walking around to increase circulation helps. When to the hospital once but thats another story.
