Pentox double dose - 2400mg daily

[PeetyPeet]

Hi guys,

Standard pentox dose is 400mg x 3 daily. Wondering if anyone has tried 800mg x 3 daily, and if so what benefits and/or side effects were experienced?

Quick search on the forum - found one guy who claimed to be on this regimen. He claimed no side effects.....but his post was quite a few years ago now.

Thanks

Peety

Wow ! ... that's a huge increase ... +100% on therapeutic recommended dose

I tried 4 a day and noticed I got a very bad night's sleep. Like either bad dreams that wake you or that horrible feeling you're not sure if you're asleep or dreaming you're asleep. Really weird. Either way I was waking up totally exhausted and feeling like I hadn't been to bed.

I have noticed this when trying to increase the dose or even when on the usual 3 a day but taking the doses too closely together to try and fit 3 into the day. So it isn't coincidence. I have experienced it enough to know a bad night's sleep is directly related.

I recall sleep interference was a registered side effect. It doesn't mean everyone will get it obviously but I can only say from my experience that when the dose increases i.e. more than 3 a day or even not spacing the 3 doses correctly (should every 8hrs ideally) I get side effects

I tried for some weeks. It gave me very bad headaches until I discoevred the one that was causing it was the dose before sleep. So I did 2*400 morning and lunch and one 400 before sleep, and that made it. Anyhow, if you really want to try out, you need at least 6 months and then check the size of the plaque again, if psosible with US. I did stop taking pentox whatsoever for some months.

Good luck.

I have been and am currently taking that dosage for about the past 3 months. I've never had any side effects from the typical routine or this increased regimen. There is no huge risk of taking this increased amount even if one had even moderate liver or kidney problems which tend to be the big causes of concern in metabolizing medications.

Peety,

I know everybody is different, but I can't imagine taking that dosage. I took 400mg x 3 and got headaches 4-5 times a week. At 800mg x3, I think my head would explode.

Thanks everyone. Have been on 3 x 400mg for perhaps 1.5 months. Touch wood, no side effects so far. It seems sleep problems are pretty common...but I'm a fairly erratic sleeper anyway, and things certainly haven't become any worse recently.

Haven't made up my mind if I should up my dose however it seems 4 x 400mg daily is a good starting point, and then go from there slowly.

Thanks again.

I would deff try to double dose to see if you don't get side effects. If you don't, it will only help. I know Dr. Tom Lue has prescribed that to some of his patients after the normal dose failed after 6-9 months.

Hi, peety pete, perhaps you are talking about me. I took the double dose for about 3 years. Now i have lowered my dose to 600 mg three times a day. For 1 year i took the double dose together with potaba. Sideeffects were episodes of fear. I had bloodtests regularly to check the liver etc. .But testresults were fine. Results of the regimen above were, that my plaque increased only slightly to 2 mm, my curve reducded to about 10-20 degree. Unfotunately some discomfort is still there, when my penis is flaccid. Therefore i have decided to try the heattreatment along with pentox, propolis, ginger, blueberris, kegelexercises, coconutoil and a reduced sugarintake to improve the discomfort over the next months. In july this year i am living 5 years with this illness. Just ask, if you have further questions. Adam

[krazylord]

My best wishes to you Adam. One question, what kind of diet do you have? Also, so with double dose your plaque still increased?

[PeetyPeet]

Hi Adam, thanks for getting in touch. It seems like you did experience some benefits from the double dose, although as Krazylord noted your plaque increased slightly. Presumably then you were still in the acute phase?

I've decided to up my dose gradually. I'm also taking regular cialis and L-arginine and don't want to lower my BP to dangerous levels.

Hi krazylord, my diet is to eat slices oft ginger and curcuma in the morning and in the evening in addition to some walnuts. During the day i drink a mix of green, ginger and curcumatea. My diet is nothing special but in general to eat less meat and sugar and more salats. Before bed i try to do some minutes of exercises for the legs, perhaps about 8-9 minutes, because increased muscleactivity of the lower bodypart increases bloodcirculation to the penis as well. Time will tell, if i am on the right track. By the way, i am not a native speaker so sorry, if i made some mistakes. Adam

And the size of the plaque was sometimes 1 mm and sometimes 2 mm. I do not know, wether it really increased or if the ultrasoundmaschine was not acurate enough. Adam
