A member asked:

Im 19.i have low t,chronic stress,sleep apnea,neurological issues. its hard for me to get very erect. my doc gave me cialis but im scared of effects!!

Could wait on Cialis: If you're uncomfortable with taking Cialis then, why not ask your doctor if it wouldn't make sense to first try and address some of your other problems conservatively and/or with cognitive behavioral therapy and see if things get better. If not, you can always come back to medication later.
