Success using pills for a short while to break out of a negative cycle?

Long story short I’ve been dealing with performance anxiety the past few months with my wife. We were both under a lot of stress when this started and that placed a strain on our relationship which impacted our sex life. I almost always get an erection effortlessly during foreplay but when it escalates to sex I get anxious and lose it or cum really quickly. I got a prescription of sildenafil from my doctor and they recommended using it to break the cycle I’m in and get back to having normal sex. I’m hesitant to use it because I know my issue is psychological and I don’t want to become dependent on the pills. Has anyone else found success using the pills temporarily to break out of a negative cycle and get back to normal?

Pills wouldn’t overcome my PE when I was with a partner. Does wonders when I’m alone.
Been here for 3-4 months and the work I’ve done has allowed pills to work a little bit.

I have had a similar issue with performance anxiety and stress. This went on for years and I tried many different pills. I am a married man of almost 40 years and most recently, my doctor prescribed viagara and it gave me horrible headaches. I was switched to sildenifil and only 5 mg dosage- I could take up to five at a time but only needed to use one. The pills help with the hardness, but I am still having issues when it comes to penetration. I start overthinking the situation and then get soft. I have been using this app for the last 8 months and it is helping to reprogram my brain. I have made progress, but still have a way to go. I would say use the pills and see how they work for you. Be open with your wife and keep talking to her about the issues you are having. My issues are definitely psychological and once I get out of my head, the sex is great. Good luck!

Viagra gave me headaches.
Cialis 20 seemed to work a lil better. I tried rugiet lozenges. Cialis, Viagra and another for mood blended.
Seems ok.

Tried 25mg sildenafil recently and worked really well. You do still need to be aroused. Think of it as a little extra assist, but it’s still you behind the wheel and doing the work to steer in the direction you want to with sex.
