Yeah I occasionally take it or tadalafil for BPH/prostatitis because they have less side effects than alpha blockers. I've got GERD and a hiatal hernia and, man, it really fires it up. Chewing gum sort of helps. I also only take half of a 25mg. I'll sometimes get the stuffy nose and rarely a headache but the stomach issues almost prevent me from using it. I've sort of grown used to tolerating extreme stomach pain though, so I still use it if I really need it.


Man. Based on personal experience at my family. I bet you're carefully keeping tabs on your stomach with a doctor, but if not, don't grow used to tolerate extreme stomach pain. I've seen stomach cancer in my family, and I would like to encourage you do whatever you can to minimize the risk for you.


Yeah, I know. I need to get another checkup but I've been through the cycle many times.. Get scoped.. Get told to take PPIs.. they make it worse.. At some point I just decided to manage it myself.
