Daily Cialis and Sleep

[PleaseFindACure]

Hi,

did anyone feel that Cialis over time makes sleep less refreshing and anxiety more anxious ?

I don't know what it is, but when I pause Cialis 1-3 days every now and then I log very long sleep periods on my sleep tracker.

Cialis helps me a lot, but I am worried it takes a toll on my sleep and general well-being now that I use it for almost 2 years.

Also I noticed my Estradiol getting very very low over time. I read Cialis works as a anti-Armoatase a bit which can lower Estradiol.

For this who also use Cialis for years: What are symptoms you recognize and do they get better when you pause a couple of days?

I will check with my urologist in March about this and am super unsure about switching to on demand usage. Cialis boosted my NTE a lot which improved the indentations of my Peyronies Disease over the last two years and I don't want to loose this trajectory. Also it makes my erections solid and penetration possible, really don't want to loose this again.

Looking forward to your insight and experience.

Hello PleaseFindACure,

Very interesting topic. You asked me about in your last message on another topic. I will respond about Cialis/Tadalafil here.

First of all, I'll say I'm a special case because I've always had an EXTREMELY GOOD AND DEEP sleep (I've even been for a therapy for that I remember because I could never hear my alarm in the morning). The alarm ringing for one hour has always been a fight subject with all my gf's. (I drink barely alcohol and it's not because of my low dose epileptic médecines I take since I'm 18y). When I ask my mom about it, she says it has always been like that: big sleeper since I'm a toddler.
Today on a normal weekend day, without alcohol or sleep late, I can sleep 11h at least without waking up.

That being said.

I used to take at first 5mg Tadalafil in the evening ---> back pain (even at night). I woke up because of it.

Then 2,5mg/evening. No back pain but still extremely good NTE. Such good erections that I always had lots of erotic dreams. It happened a lot that my erections woke me up (but nothing that I was afraid of (priapism)).

Now 1/3 of 5mg, which is 1,66mg. I feel ok with it. I don't wake up anymore. My erections are good with it and my NTE a bit less intens. My ED is very low in general.

Tomorrow I see the uro, I will ask about it.
