I’ve been using Viagra with new partners for a few years now. Currently in a relationship and it’s been 8 months. I still take it most of the time although trying to take less and less (had a handful of successes without it)
I feel I’ve got a psychological addiction to it, almost like I’m stuck in a cycle of taking it and adding anxiety when I don’t.
I’ve managed to masturbate without it recently. And had head / some sex with my partner without it but I still get anxious and worried when I haven’t taken it and we’re together.
I’m hoping that I haven’t ruined my body, or developed too much of a dependency on it.
Has anyone got any advice on how to stop taking viagra or prevent nerves from not taking it, or had a similar experience?
Id really love to stop this dependency and get natural errection I feel confident in.
Thank you
Hey, I haven’t got any advice per day for your experience. But do you mind me asking how long you’ve been taking it for?
I’ve recently just got myself some as I had a couple poor experiences and concerned about becoming depended on it myself.
Cheers in advance
You are definitely overthinking this for sure. And trust me I’m the king of that lol. First and foremost have you discussed all of this with your urologist? As mine explained to me it’s only going to help you physically and get your blood flowing in the right places and build your confidence if that makes sense . Yes there are rare cases where you could develop a psychological dependency but you definitely can get yourself off of it I have . Wine yourself off slow where are you get down to almost nothing. Then when you feel like you’re in the right headspace don’t take it. This worked for me the first time I got off of it. Secondly be open with your partner you’d be surprised how much pressure that takes off. Lastly dry box breathing before sex to comm your nerves.
Hey Crowded- Could you elaborate on how a urologist could help? I’m going through the same issue with feeling like I have a psychological dependency.
Thanks!
For me, I got down to a lower dose then just said to my partner i was going to try and stop. Explained things might be less predictable and that we might have to fool around for half an hour if I felt I could get hard. Honestly, it’s still less predictable but I’m ok with that as the flushing, headaches and racing heart was starting to worry me.
I think it helps to get checked out and see where you’re at physically. My blood work all came back normal and T levels are actually higher than normal. That helped me to understand that it wasn’t a physical thing . Definitely boosted my confidence.
