Went in for my Trimix training today. Literally, did not feel a thing. And got little response. None at all in the office and then a little bit walking to the car. 15 units (.15 ml) with direction to increase it 10 units a shot until there is something close to the desired outcome. Then, 5 units a shot until I'm happy (we're happy yeah).

Being conservative, I may just go in 5 unit increments. Thoughts?

I'm sure you've seen my posts about quantity. I went from .10 to .13 - difference between 45 minutes and 4 hours, so I am shocked that the uro would suggest going from .15 to .25. That seems to be complete insanity to me unless you are doing it at the uro's office where they can deal with the consequences should the dose be too large.

Also, adding a bit of 'stimulation' might help.

Hmmm ... I'm with 142; upping the dose 10 units each time ... wow, that's a lot!

You using that "watery" / "unleaded" Trimix?

No matter, what's the rush ... at the risk of an ER visit?

Best of luck, Upstate Guy. I started Trimix a little over a week ago. Finally was able to have sex at 28 units but unfortunately, it didn't last very long.

My uro instructed me to increase the dosage by 5 units until I get the desired result. I decided to up it 3 units after 25 just in case. I will up it another 3 units next time.

Ten units does sound like a lot, but your mixture may be different. I'm wondering whether my mixture is right for me and will talk to the uro if I don't get a good result next time.

Anyway, onward and upward!

I have no problems with you following your urologists instructions. He knows what strength he prescribed and how you reacted in his office. If he prescribed the same "single strength" (watery) Trimix that I use then 10 units of your mix contains about the same amount of the drugs as 5 units from the vials of the guys using "double strength" (aka super) Trimix. My uro started me at 25 units and I have gone up by fives to about 40 units.

Welcome to the unofficial Society of prick prickers smilewinkgrin

Once I started the injections it took some many trials to find the right dose. I starter at 0.30ml on the standard Trimix in the URO's office and using an .05ml increase as suggested by my URO it took until I got to .70ml before I got a usable erection. At that point I was switched to Trimix double strength to make it less cost and less amount per injection and I now use .35ml of this one. However I still only get a usable 90%+erection about 50% of the time but am reluctant to go up anymore on my amount of injections due to the priapism chances  and the dreaded ER trip.

Good luck it may take a while to get dialed into the right amount of Trimix to use as it seems almost all of us have different injection amount. One guy in here just has to wave his penis over the Trimix fumes and get 100% hard and many like me have to flood the penis for some good wood.

Thanks all. Slow and easy sounds like the right course. Last thing I want to get close to is the ER ... although I understand that you do get immediate attention ... not necessarily a good sign ...

I now after 3 years of sticking have gotten over the fear of the ER trip. I never have come close to needing the trip.

Sounds like you on the road to getting the right dose!

I am also a new pricker and some of you may have seen my thread I started a few weeks ago. Tallguys Caverject ED journey.

I started with 10mcg of Edex (aprostadil) which was first supposed to be Caverject (also aprostadil) but was not available at local pharm. I did the 10mcg in the Doc office for the demo with a nurse doing the pricking. I got decent wood so decided to give it a whirl at home. It took a week to get the Caverjet/Edex 10mcg located but finally got it.

My wife and I gave it a try and it worked fairly well. First time in four years we got it on and it was OK but not the best. We decided we need harder wood so I called the Doc and got his OK to inject two vials of 10mcg Edex. It worked great. Got wood in about 10 minutes and much improved over the single 20mcg. Great sex for both of us. Like the old days. Lasted about 30 minutes and then back to limp Buford. I have three move doses of 10mcg and will now get the Doc to prescribe 20mcg and we should be good.
