Can You Get Addicted to ED Meds?

There’s an old saying that tells us to ‘take all good things in moderation’. When it comes to ED medications like Cialis and Viagra, you need to follow your doctor’s prescription for optimal results and to avoid potential health risks.

You can get addicted to ED Medications. Generally due to societal stigma, this problem appears to be underreported.

With a spike in porn consumption, some younger men have begun to turn to ED meds to help curb the pressures of feeling bigger and lasting longer. Others treat it as an enhancer to party drugs and alcohol.

Science and psychology

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to develop and maintain and erection. This is caused by the lack of blood flow to the penis. ED medications provide better blood flow giving men that suffer from ED a better chance to obtain an erection.

ED can also stem from psychological problems. Most often times this is a side effect to ED, but in some men, it can be the cause.

Taking ED pills without having ED

For years, it’s been said that men only have one thing on their mind, and it’s constant. Well, try to take your mind off of sex for one second and think about what you are doing or considering doing to yourself, long term.

Here are some side effects to overusing ED medications.

  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • Hypertension
  • Hearing loss
  • Vision loss

If that’s not enough, overusing ED medications can cause a condition called Priapism. Priapism is a persistent and painful erection. This often lasts longer than four hours and is very painful.

For men taking ED medications without ED, the reverse intent can happen. Meaning, you can develop immunity to ED pills while increasing your chances of getting ED.

Addiction to ED medication is very real and should not be treated lightly. The risks do not out way the benefits, even if societal pressure is telling you otherwise.

Bottom line: take ED medications as prescribed and as needed.
