Time of day for taking oral ED therapy meds?

Have read that some take the meds at night, others at other times.

I was told by the doc to take it at bedtime.  The purpose of it, until you start having response and erections, is to open blood flow, and hopefully trigger nocturnal erections during your sleep.  That's the reason we had so many during the night before surgery, it was the bodies way of flushing and renewing the penis with fresh blood, keeping the cavities open and stretched, and helping with nerve health and veinous valve strengthing and conditioning.   All in all, a good thing to have, at any age....

Hi Danman Bob,

Here is my protocol from Universtiy of Chicago.

Start 50 mg. Viagra everyother day two days after catheter comes out.  Wants me to manipulate to climax everyother day as well.  If no success he will go to 100 mg.

I saw Billy's post.  Made my day.

Add to my post.  I take meds in AM.

I take 100mg every night. There was a study that showed that the higher dose did indeed speed healing. The night thing is, as said earlier, to combine with normal nocturnal erections. In fact, my first sign of recovery was that i would wake up with an erection in the middle of the night - even if I could not get one during the day. My doc told me to JO as much as I wanted. If I saw any hint of action down there, go ahead and see what happens. Sure enough - closer to climax, it did start to firm up and was a recognizable erection. One fun technique is to try to keep from climaxing to see just how much blood you can get in there. Several times I was able to get a stuffable erection - had my wife only been around!

I take 100 mg Viagra or 20 mg Levitra daily, in the evening.
