Re: Anybody had luck with Clomid or Clomiphene for erectile dysfu

[Guest guest]

, I feel perfectly fine taking the clomiphene. I have only been

taking it for three weeks, however, and I haven't noticed any side

effects yet. I also haven't noticed an increase in sex drive either,

which is the goal of taking it because I have ED.

The reason I am only taking this drug is because I am so young. I am

only 21. The doctors worry that consistently taking testosterone gel

at my age will have some bad side effects such as decreased sperm

production. Since I am not married yet and don't have kids, decreased

sperm production would be bad news.

I need to say this about Clomid I have talked to men that did it and have

permanent floaters in the eyes. Some get messed up in there head. I would not

take this for very long.

As I've said before, you got to find a good doctor and your dose,

usually by trial and error.

Most doses, I've read here about are way too big for a long term use.

Floaters in the eyes? Yikes. I cannot have that happen to me. My

vision is crucial because I am going into the military soon to be a pilot.

And what do you mean by messed up in their head?

Hi Wayne

Sorry to hear about your problems. However, I am not sure clomophene is the

right answer

or not by itself.

When I tried clomphene as part of a stimulation test (1994) I remember having an

increase

in libido but not wow factor. I took it for ca 10 days. However, I did have

increased sperm

and good quality.

Have you seen someone specifically about the ED problems especially as those

other meds

(Viagra etc) have not worked?

Have you a Total Testosterone level for us to work on?

What type of medic are you speaking to?

For ED problems you may well need to see a urologist as it may not be hormonal

although

Viagra has not worked.

It would help if you feel able to explain some of the symptoms and feels.

For example:

Do you have any morning erections or whilst you are asleep?

Do you have wet dreams

When did you first suffer this? From birth or?

What blood tests has the medic done? What are the results?

If you are alone and relaxed; can you (i) Have an orgasm (ii) Get a hard-on

eventually

If you get an hard-on what is the quality?

ANyhow, I hope you feel able to answer as it helps others as well but these sort

of questions

help to move forward with possible causes and how to diagnose and treat and/or

find the

best type of specialist.

Take care - Good luck!

I just had to say this so anyone thinking about doing this knows there are sides

for some men.

It's hard to put it to words out of it like brain fog.

Hi Wayne

An after-thought about the condition in general. Until we have blood tests

and/or diagnosis

of whether you have primary Hypogonadism, Secondary Hypogonadism, Tertiary

Hypogonadism or some other cause of ED and reduced testosterone we can only hit

in the

dark with wider questions and answers.

Also, it is very important the differences between Primary as against Secondary

and Tertiary

in the symptoms and possible treatments as well as other causes such as

neurological it

really is important to find this out firstly.

I think most people here and certainly the teaching hospitals that I have

attended would not

prescribe any medication until there was a diagnosis. Clomiphene can only really

effectively

work if it is Secondary or Tertiary Hypogonadism as if the testes are not

working

Clomiphene cannot get the testes to produce more testosterone if it is already

failing.

As to fertility, this is Pituitary with FSH and LH and this is also the area of

memory and

affected by stresses and infections which can also cause post viral fatigue etc

etc. Without

blood tests of FSH and LH before and after how is your medic seeing if

clomiphene is

working or now if the ED is from a different aetiology? Do you see what I am

saying?

If you have ED and slight Hypogonadism the smallest stresses might stop you have

sexual

intercourse. However, by taking / prescribing meds such as Clomiphene or

anything similar

without measuring blood levels of hormones you may not now get a proper

diagnosis for the

condition - certainly not without stopping your meds for a longish period of

time.

I hope this helps.
