Cialis and Marijuana

Hello
24 Male
Atheletic

I have recently done the test that measures the rigity of the nucternal erections and my doctor told me that i am borderline.
Sometimes i have good erections but sometimes my erections are below averadge.

He attributed this to a structural deficit of my vascular system down there I dont remember the name but it appears that my penis is returning the blood more quicly that it should. He also said that the large size of my penis doesnt help.

He told me not to worry about it and to try not to think about it as it is easily treatable.

For now he perscribed me with some Cialis 10mg to startand we will adjust.
Then he told me that we will do the test again in 3 months to see if we have to continue to some other more permanent treatment. He told me something about shots on the penis (but did not comment further) i dont like the idea very much....

So for the moment my question is can i take Cialis with marijuana?
I am a cronic marijuana smoker from 15yo

I already train 5 times a day but if i try to have a healthier diet and cut down on smoking and Cannbis will i see some natural impruvment

Thank you very much!!!!

Cialis and marijuana are both vasodilators, so taking them together is a BIG no. Two vasodilators can cause a hypotensive crisis, or best case scenario, give you a really bad time.

In general, my advice is not to combine weed with anything you aren't sure about. Medical science has unfortuntately very little information about interactions and they certainly exist. I smoked some many years ago with an anti-biotic I was on, and it was hell.

On the pot issue, helps to have a break now and again. At least a week. There's long term processes that get interrupted like melatonin levels for example.

Not so sure about Cialis either as a drug. PDE5 inhibitors have been known to mess with hormone levels longer term. I've heard stories about men growing boobs, and having permenent erectile issues. You could probably just use a soft **** ring so long as it wasn't for prolonged periods.

Well bro I don't smoke bud as much as I use to but because of my 12 year no sex because can't keep a erection or sometimes get it at all, I've experimented with more dangerous than marijuana. So it can decrease sexual arousal and performance but depends on the person. Im almost 34 and lost relationships because of this actually gave me suicidal thoughts and that' really scares me.  I wanna be your friend lol.

That is a true bummer... but... how much is "not as much as I used to"?  I think the occasional use of weed is no biggie, like once a week or a few times a month... but if like me, I was smoking a small amount daily... it can mess with you.  I found I only got horny after smoking, and performance was far better while stoned... not sure why... and everyone may be different that way.  Not sure what other drugs you did... but doubtful they caused permanent erection issues... I bet your hormones are messed up.
MY advice to you, especially with suicidal thoughts... is to find a good hormone replacement specialist and make an appointment ASAP.  This, after you see your primary care Doc and get as many tests done as possible.  Almost all libido and erection issues can be fixed...
GL to you!

You said: I am a chronic marijuana smoker from 15yo - You should know that marijuana is well-known to decrease Testosterone levels - a toke now & then would prbly not be harmful, but long-term frequent use can be detrimental, and that could be affecting your erectile function. If you are truly an athlete & want to see gains, you should give up the weed or use it only very sparingly. If you cut way back or give it up, your erectile function will probably improve & might even return to normal - altho after 15 yrs of steady use, I can't guarantee that would happen. But try it & see if things improve...

Actually, if you researched it... you would find that the use of MJ and testosterone levels has not been comprehensively studied... and the few time it WAS looked at ended up with very mixed reviews... one even had increased T levels for weed users.
Best advice would be to have your hormone levels checked, especially Free testosterone, Estradiol and  SHBG.
I am not saying that weed doesn't effect hormones... in fact I have used a small amount of weed almost daily for 15 years and I have very low Free T and somewhat high Estradiol... but it varies from person to person, so checking hormone levels is a no-brainer.
BTW>  The guy you responded to probably needs a penile pump... he sounds like he has a vascular problem that would likely require one... or some other corrective surgery. Likely nothing to do with his weed use.

I too had a very bad reaction to taking only 2.5mg of generic Cialis and smoked a small bowl of street weed... super fast heartbeat that went into a very badly irregular rhythm.  bad enough to call 911.   They found nothing basically wrong, turned out that this mix brought on a major anxiety attack.  AVOID this combo!!

I had a Cialis pill shortly before smoking a bit of hashish (it is like concentrated marijuana). Then I went for a walk, but felt extremely bad and had to stop every 20 meters. Tried to walk on my own but couldn't and had to lie down. I thought I was going to die. After about half an hour of laying down, I felt fine again as if nothing has happened. The effect of the hash was also diminished.

I guess it has something to do with the combination causing my blood pressure to do something weird. I won't recommend it and would certainly not do it again. My main concern would be heart failure.

The Cialis only started working about 3 and a half hours after taking it. Then it lasted for 2 or maybe 3 days. In that time it was easy to get it up. I would recommend it (on it's own) and I would say it's better than Levitra.

Just dont do drugs, come on and you say your an athlete, and you have never had a drug test, I thought all drugs even class b drugs showed up on testing, but then if you were a real athlete you would not be smoking.
If you kick all these bad habits then you would proberly get over your erection problems, remember we have one life and we get one d**k its part of a set for men, and at the end of the day what we put into our bodys effects the way we fill and the way our bodys react.
Good Luck and Boy do you need IT.
