Head ache on ED meds

| Do all ED meds give headaches as a side effect?
My generic V does, so does the brand name V when I was using brand name,
before switching to India meds.
Does C or L do the same?
Experiences guys?
Thanks,
D.

Individual reactions vary by med and by dose.
In my case, 50mg of Sildenafil (V) gives me a headache after a couple of hours,
followed by puffy eyes and a hung over feeling the next day. Symptoms are
relieved by Excedrin or the generic equivilent, but still annoying.
10 mg of Tadalafil (C) is much better. No headache and no hangover. And there is
the bonus of the longer half life. 
Haven't tried Vardenafil yet.

Yes, highly individualized. I seldom have a headache for any reason;
so, am probably toward the end of the 'bell shaped curve' on this topic.
Don't recall any headache with my first dose of V. I was so overjoyed
with the result that I wouldn't have noticed. The blue-white visuals
and nasal congestion were the most noticeable side effects.
For the next several months, 30-45 minutes after each dose of 'V' I had
a small-sized (larger than a marble, smaller than a ping-pong ball),
very noticeable headache. Each dose yielded 5-10 minutes of headache in
another location (one time frontal, next occipital etc.) The most
severe was 5 minutes of sharp pain just behind my left eye. (With what
we now know about blindness, I'd probably have stopped Viagra and made
the move to Trimix right then!) No headache location was ever
repeated--it was like blowing out fuses. Once a location had 'popped'
the next Viagra dose would move on to another location to do it's deed.
After a dozen or so Viagra doses, the headaches ceased.
For the last seven months my primary ED med has been Levitra. Levitra
seems to cause more nasal stuffiness than did Viagra. Never a headache
and no visuals--as Cialis users report, Levitra is a very 'targeted'
drug. After ejaculation I have a massive runny nose and the following
day will have some pain in the hamstrings and gluts (didn't have those
problems with Viagra). ...LMac

| I've posted here before about the puffy eye problem with Tadalafil- i
can take it Friday and the following Tuesday my eyes are still puffy,
actually worse than they were Sat or Sun. Makes me look (and feel) 10
years older. Does the Excedrin help the puffy eyes? Any other ideas?
What's Vardenafil?

Probably not - it's just Tylenol, Aspirin and Caffeine

Levitra

In retrospect, it might be good to remember that there have been many
treatment advances by examining/exploiting the side effects of both new
and old drugs. Using side effects in off-label prescription is sometimes
a good deal! In the last couple of years, we've seen some positive uses
for the once damned Thalidomide, the sleeping pill that causes birth
deformities.
Viagra's core ingredient started out as a circulatory med of some sort.
My Pri-care doc was in on those trials during her Internal Med.
residency--she tells several great stories about the accidental
discovery that it was an E.D. cure and how Pfizer retooled the drug. Now
my HMO has several patients, including women, on Viagra for "pulmonary
hypertension."
Aspirin seems to be just loaded with some really serious side
effects--yet, it's one of our most successful drugs.
Everyone would like a "silver bullet" but those are few and far between.
