T-Replacement, Trazadone, Viagra – relayed from the ASI website
Question:
This message was left on the ASI web site for posting anonymously to the newsgroup. Please reply to the newsgroup and not to Fred Because of the necessity of my taking wellbutrin for hypersomnia, I am confronted with ed. Under the supervision of my urologist I have had two (2) 200 mg injections of delatestry. I wonder if any of you have had the same experience as I have. Within four or five hours of the injection I can definitely tell that it has kicked in. With the first shot I felt a noticeable "achiness" in the testicles which existed for about three days. If I had wanted to have intimacy at this time it would have been difficult because of how badly I felt. I consulted the doc and he said that it was not a typical reaction, but, that it was possible. The achiness vanished after three days. My first initimate encounter was one of the greatest I had had in a long time because I found that I didn’t need to worry about having and/or maintaining an erection. About nine days in to the injection the achiness again returned, but, didn’t last long. Twelve days into the injection the ability to have and maintain was significantly lessened (probably because of the T wearing off). With my second injection yesterday (it was two weeks from the first with the same dosage) I could tell when it kicked in, but, this time, not so painful, though, noticeable. Because of my hypersomnia the uro has also suggested substituting trazadone for klonapin, which I have taken to help me get to sleep at night. In conjunction with the urologist, my neurologist wanted me to take the traz at 25 mg. doses for three days, then 50 mg. for a month, then upping to seventy-five, all the while cutting back on the klonapin in phasing it out. My experience with the traz has been this. I started it last Friday, which was ten days in to my first T injection. The first night I experienced at least four (4) involuntary erections in my sleep which woke me up. The hardness was incredible. The next night was similar only this time I remember waking up in the morning with an aching penis. I talked to the Urologist about this and he concluded that it was not priapism but a painful erection. I had asked if you can experience priapism in your sleep. He said that I could, but, that I would probably wake up after an hour. These are my questions for any of you who may have knowledge or experience: 1) In T-therapy, have any of you been on this for prolonged periods of time (for more than three or four biweekly doses? What have been the side effects, if any. 2) For those who use trazadone, was it prescribed just for ed, or for a sleep disorder, or as an antipdepressant? 3) My experience with traz so far is that the erections come, but, at the wrong time, meaning, in my sleep, interrupting my sleep, and, well after the original need had passed (as in wanting a boost in helping intimacy.) Have any of you ever taken traz while being on T? What have been your experiences. In your opinion would I be better off taking the Traz earlier in the day since it’s impact seems, at least at the 25 mg level, three-to-four hours after taking it. 4) Have any of you had experience with a combination of traz and viagra? If so, at what dosages, and, when did you take the traz. I have had previously positive experiences with viagra, but, have also felt a few days after a cardiac-like nausea unlike anything I have ever experienced. This caused no small amount of concern and became the reason for my not continuing the viagra, in addition to it’s coverage by health insurance was discontinued. I have raised several issues. I am very interested to learn of your experiences, and, any suggestions you may have. I have taken myself off wellbutrin, and, ed has diminished greatly. But, the chronic fatigue lilke symptoms of hypersomnia return. And these symptoms ultimately result in my being so fatigued that I need to stay in bed. Thanks for hearing me out. Sorry if this has been too long. If any of you need clarifications to issues raised above I will be happy to respond.

Response:
See my recent post on many years Traz experience but add to it that your plumbing must be in much better shape than mine. At 50mg, 100mg even 200mg it is excellent for sleep. For me. From the little that I know Traz would be better for you than the klonapin if we’re talking sleep only. However, if I had your experience with Traz (painful erection already) I’d go very slow. I went through a period like that and survived it without priapism but at higher doses than what you are taking. Just please go cautious. I’d say (but it’s NOT MY DICK!) that changing the timing to earlier in the evening is worth trying. Just go easy on the dosage. I shudder to think what 200mg would do to you. Which then begs the question: should one in your situation substitute Traz for K as a sleeping aid? Not in your case. I’d play with it’s erection capabilities during the day or even early evening but avoid taking it nightly in quantitites sufficient to put one to sleep. YMMV – all the usual caveats. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -2) For those who use trazadone, was it prescribed just for ed, or for a sleep disorder, or as an antipdepressant? 3) My experience with traz so far is that the erections come, but, at the wrong time, meaning, in my sleep, interrupting my sleep, and, well after the original need had passed (as in wanting a boost in helping intimacy.)
