Will 5mg of cialis stay in your system for 36 hours like the 10 and 20mg? and if it doesn't why not?

No: No- the short acting 5 mg tablet will be gone within 12-24 hours

Time is same: Half-life or time it takes for half of the drug to be eliminated by the body is the same however the dose is smaller. If you take 10mg, after one half life you still have 5mg in your system. If you only take 5mg, after one half life you are down to 2.5mg. Ultimately, it depends on what works for your body.

Yes: In fact, it can be in your system for over three and a half days ... Though remember, just because it's in your system, doesn't mean that it has any therapeutic effect as the levels will be quite low at the "tail" end of elimination times.
