PIED and Viagra

I have been dealing with the symptoms of PIED for over 10 years. Until recently however I didn't make the connection between my porn use and ED. I assumed, and so did my doctor, that the issue was physical. She put me on ED medication, Viagra and eventually Levitra. I have been using these meds for over 10 years and they have had a success rate of over 99%.
So how about the rest of you? Have any of you used ED medication to treat PIED? If so what is your success rate?

Hi Nexus.  I have been dealing with ED for years.  I thought it was either me getting older, or BP meds or anxiety or any other possible cause but PIED wasn't even on my radar.  I saw my doctor about it and he said he didn't think the BP meds would cause it and just thought I needed a little confidence - in the form of Cialis.  The only thing it did for me was make my erections easier to obtain, a little fuller and firmer, but not enough to really help me with intercourse.  I was successful using it when having oral sex, so there was some benefit.  Because of this I did more searching and found YBOP.  Things began to click - erections during porn/masturbation, no erections any other time.  I've been porn free for over 100 days now.  During this time I jacked off 4 or 5 times, so I began to wonder if masturbation was slowing my progress down.  I've been M free for a week now.  I haven't tried to have sex yet and decided not to 'test' so I don't know where my progress stands.  I have one Cialis tablet left that I'm reserving for when that moment does come, just in case I need a little confidence booster.  Beside the expense though, I would really like to heal and be able to manage without the Cialis.  I don't think there's anything wrong with using it because I do believe it gives you a little more confidence, I just want to able to without it.

My experience is very similar to 2heal's. I too could get an erection with Cialis, but would sometimes lose it part way through. It was about a 50-50 shot at success. My gf was beside herself, with how healthy I was but yet had this issue. It didn't add up to her. I finally confided that I was a porn user, and she is the one that found YBOP, showed it to me, and then I found reboot nation. I went to countless urologists, blood tests, etc. I even did the test where you place this electronic device on your penis, too measure erections as they come and go throughout the night while you are sleeping. Everything was checking out okay, so it didn't add up. I would like to try the Cialis now that I am in reboot the next time I am with someone. I could use a confidence booster, but as 2heal indicates, the price of these meds is high.

The price is very high for ED meds. I just paid $373 for 10 Levitra. ED meds have worked well for me. I am able to get and maintain a full erection however I rarely if ever have an orgasm. I was actually good with this side effect because it allowed me to have sex longer. I have had sex once since my reboot. I still need the meds however I was able to orgasm. My hope is to fully recover from PIED so I no longer need expensive medication.

Cialis is pretty expensive too.  I think I paid about $170 for 5.  I gets really discouraging when you take one in anticipation of something happening and a real bummer when it doesn't happen and you've just wasted $40 bucks - for nothing.  I good reason to beat this the natural, healthy way.
