Viagra,cialis,levetra Q

I was wondering which I often do about these erection drugs and claim to be no expert on them, so I have a few questions for those in the know?

Can Viagra,cialis,lavitra lower blood pressure, because they increase nitrous oxide?

If so should they be prescribed in conjunction with Blood pressure medications beings some blood pressure medications can cause erectile dysfunction?

And should they be prescribed for patients on SSRI’s and other mood medications?

I personally take herbal remedies for my erections, everyone knows my sad story I had ED coming into TP.
I take Ginko, Was taking Gensing, Green Tea, Hawthorne, Cool Cayenne. These work well for me, but I’m also taking them to lower blood pressure.

Advocet8 where are you, anyone else?

hey Kingpole: I know Viagra/Cialis is a vasodilator. In fact, I haven’t refilled my $59.00 30ct. 2.5mg Norvasc prescription and my BP seems to be fine without taking the Novasc. But, I’m taking a small dose of Cialis somewhat daily along with L-Arginine.
I took Paxil for a good time some years ago,,,getting up to 40mg. I was taking Viagra at the time also. The Paxil and Viagra combination seems to lessen the effects of the Viagra very noticeably. If I could get an erection, it died quickly…and when starting the 40mg…even my libido died! It didn’t matter tho’, as the Paxil made me feel fine!

Well this helps answer a question about effects on BP, they work very simular to ginko. But ginko can trump the sexual side effects of paxil and other simular medications.

A new question can viagra,levetra,and cialis treat depression?

Do they elavate testosterone, low testosterone cuases depression, perhaps the cialis your taking also is good for depression?

All three lower blood pressure; not a whole lot, but noticeably. This is because the original one, Viagra, was designed to be an anti-hypertensive medication, didn’t make the mark, but did facilitate erections; the other manufacturers followed the same, basic, molecular structure but altering it.

Viagra did work to lower B/P, but not in a great way. What it did do is cause erections, because it is an NO precursor. But that doesn’t mean necessarily that the more N oxcide you produce, the lower your B/P.

1) No, unless your depression stems from your having ED

2) No elevation of T, although because you can usually, easily get a hard on when you couldn’t before, you might feel like your libido is elevated.

Now I read somwhere on TP that green tea raises testosterone levels. Elavated testosterone if not to elavated can lower blood pressure blood sugar and insulin levels.

So viagra does not raise testosterone I did n ot know that.
