Relatively severe headache from cialis

My old source was having trouble recognizing my credit card, so I went elsewhere. Now, I dived straight into this new stuff, took a full 20mg just to see how it was & ended up with a splitting head + toothache that lasted about 10 hours. Kept me up all night & was very frustrating, not to mention painful. I’d never experienced anything like this before- had 0 side effects from cialis up until now. Anyone else in the same boat? I’m hoping that I took too much. Will try a half tab in a few days. Will be annoyed if I’ve wasted 100 bucks on something I can’t use :(

I also feel somewhat “distant” and disassociated today, but I may just be being a hypochondriac & talking myself into it. I’ve just never had such a strong negative reaction to cialis before. What I took yesterday was purchased from AllDayChemist- while I’ve previously bought from budgetmedicines.

Maybe the new source is a counterfeit be really careful people these days counterfeit and black market these things if you have the same effects with half the pill better just toss it out its probably a counterfeit. Did it even work besides the headache at all?

Unless I limit my dose to 15 mg or so, I always get a headache from Cialis. I have used 2 sources, none of them are “official” Cialis.

Yataghan:

What brand did you buy? Must not have been Cooper Pharma because 20 mg of thier stuff is like 8 mg or so of Eli Lilly regular cialis. It does not afffect me in any manner like 20 mg of Eli Lilly cialis, erectile wise included.

Yes, cialis at true 20 mg levels of tadalafil, can give you headaches, muscle aches, etc. They go away in about a week to 10 days of use using one 20 mg tablet of cialis every 72 hours as my endo recommended to me. Only other problem is bad indigestion. Cialis at that regimen can turn even older guys like me into a teenager.

Hope this helps.

If I haven’t taken any in a while, yes definitely get headaches, and they last for a couple days. I get around it by starting with 7 mg or less, and take that for a few days in a row. Buy then my body has adapted and I can start upping the dose with just mild to no headaches.

I even have a few tablets of stand Cialis from a regular pharmacy, and that also will give me a headache if I jump into 20 mg dose after a layoff, but the pharmacy headache isn’t quite as bad as these off brand sources.

Thanks for the responses, very helpful.

It was my first tab after quite a long lay off, probably around 5 months … so I guess that explains it. I’m away from the house at the moment so I’m not sure what the brand name was, but it’s fairly strong stuff & aside from the shocking headache the first time it’s worked really well.

I’ve since been taking half a tab every 3-4 days without any side effects at all which is great, so I guess the lay off & the heavy dosage was the problem.

Cialis gives me major muscle aches that last for days.

I find a couple of Excedrin for the headache helps. Sometimes congestion/stuffiness can be helped with something Like Tylenol for Sinus.
