Anyone ever have any experience using Cialas for therapeutic recovery from radical prostectomy causing headaches?

I have not tried switching agents yet....only been on Cialas for a month. Seems I get headaches, heartburn and my face breaks out.

It worked GREAT for me as far as the ED went, but I had terrible delayed muscle pain in my legs--a known side effect. So I switched to Levitra. Levitra works well enough, and the side effects for me are tolerable. It gives me a stuffy nose and slight headache, which I can zap with ibuprofen or naproxen.

Thanks....think I'll give it another month or so.....nothing going on with potency yet...urge, but no action. using the vacuum 3x week and cialus 20mg 2x week to "prime the pump"....5 weeks off surgery. Given the results thus far....0 problems with continency, I'll be patient with the potency and hope the psa stays low in another 45 days and beyond.

Thanks again.
