Can you get physically addicted?

- • You do not get addicted to Cialis or Viagra. If you have used them, you can stop using them anytime without problems. You will not get a rebound effect. Your function will not be worse later because you took these pills.
- • You do not get habituated to them. That means that, in the future, you will not need more to have the same effect.
- • As you get older, and your underlying function decreases, you may choose to use more of them to get the same effect. But that is because your body’s function has decreased, not because you are habituated to the drug or that the drug’s effect has decreased.
- • Both medications could become a psychological habit if they are taken automatically all the time when there is no ED. So don’t do that!

- • If you sit around waiting for an erection to appear out of nowhere, then you will be disappointed.
- • If you take the meds, and then you get juicy with your partner, you will find your penis responding in a very natural way.
- • When the stimulation ends, the erection will subside, as usual.
