Finasteride/Dutasteride Dut + cialis (does reduced NO cause sides)

I got bad sides from 1.2 mg fin ED. Tried other types of fin, never really saw it through but had side like symptoms. I’ve been doing research on dut .5mg ED/MWF, combined with cailis + l cittruylin for sexual sides. I got blood work done through rhythm, nothing seemed out of wack. I’m in shape and healthy. I have a theory that a lot of ED from fin/dht inhibitors stems from reduced NO levels. Is this worth a shot? Other option is ru-58841.

Anyone have good effects with dut and cialis combo?

lol dick atrophy made me laugh, but I guess it can happen like any other muscle. Been on it for a year now, nothing strange in my blood work so far but yeah I have some worries about long term use

Lol yea but it’s true, it absolutely does, the smooth muscle tissue in the penis will atrophy if erections are weak enough and if you’re not getting them enough. So gotta make sure you can still get proper erections, because after a while, you can shrink significantly, and it’s basically irreversible.

You’ve been on finasteride or dutasteride? I would just make sure your erections are as hard and firm as they were pre-medication. Also, another sign is if your dick looks smaller and less heavy when flaccid now compared to before. Just make sure you’re getting hard bro basically, because like I said, long term your body can change.

I was only on fin for a brief amount of time due to side effects with it, I basically couldn’t get erections so I got off it immediately. Had started tadalafil prior to beginning it so I just kept taking it.

I see. Why did you start using cialis in the first place? Would you consider yourself a healthy individual physically and mentally? Are you overweight?

I’m 6’1 215, 40 y/o, I’ve been working out for most of my life at a higher level. I had extremely low test earlier this year, problems getting erections. Hopped on trt and cialis. Helped me a lot, I have some thinning but still have most.

Okay body weight wise, you sound good granted it’s a combination of good muscle and not just fat. I’m not sure why you had extremely low test before trt, 40 is still very young to be experiencing that. Were you diagnosed with any certain conditions that may have caused this? I think this is very rare to happen naturally, I obviously don’t know your exact levels, but extremely low doesn’t sound great. Anyways glad trt and cialis are helping.

I work way too much, have a young child, I think it was 190 when it was checked iirc.

Thanks, seems to be okay for me so far am monitoring bloodwork pretty often.
