Cialis tolerance

[jj21]

Has anyone built a cialis tolerance? If so, was there a way you overcame it?

First few times I used it had raging erections, after about 3 uses the effects of the pill lasted 2-3 hours then wore off. Not sure if it was my body being too tired or I have developed a tolerance.

Any advice is appreciated,
J

Your post reads like it still gives you a 2 or 3 hour erection?  If that is true then it is certainly the very maximum it is supposed to do and any more could cause serious damage.  

If you are saying it used to do that but does not even work for an hour any more then I would try switching to Viagra or Levetra.  It could be that your underlying condition is worse.  If you are not using a known legitimate pharmacy it is also possible you got some of the many counterfeit ED drugs that are routinely sold every year.

Thanks Hawk,

The first few times I used Cialis it lasted about 24 hours at that time during sex I could maintain an erection whenever I wanted.

Last time I used it the effects seemed to last a few hours then wore off. Could've been a mental thing too.

All purchased from a genuine pharmacy with a prescription here in Australia.

Cheers for the advice I might get a script for viagra or levitra for a while..

Is not the Cialis influence starting to diminish.
Your ED starting to worsen.
Sorry for being to the point. I had/have the same problem with Viagra
But is my opinion only, I am not a professional.

Hey J!

Yes, this is a well-known issue, and I think we're not alone in experiencing it. I've had something similar happen, though I'm not entirely sure it's the same. Over time, I increased the dosage slightly (under medical supervision), and now I don't notice it as much. Cialis still works well for me, but tolerance can definitely be a factor.

Here are a few suggestions:

• Switch it up: You're already considering trying Viagra or Levitra, which is a great idea. Rotating medications occasionally can help reset how your body responds to PDE5 inhibitors.
• Timing and mental factors: Fatigue or psychological factors might be contributing. Make sure you're well-rested and in the right mindset when taking it. Stress and anxiety can diminish the effects even if the medication is working.
• Dosage review: If you're on a lower dose, speak with your doctor about increasing it slightly to see if it improves efficacy. Sometimes, even a small adjustment can make a big difference.
• Lifestyle factors: Focus on improving overall health—exercise, balanced nutrition, reducing alcohol, and managing stress. These all support blood flow and could enhance the medication's effects.
• On-demand vs. daily: If you're using on-demand Cialis, consider discussing the daily low-dose version with your doctor. It can provide more consistent results without peaks and troughs.

If tolerance persists, your doctor might suggest alternative treatments or investigate whether underlying health issues are affecting the response.

Good luck! Let me know how it goes!
