Does Cialis Cause Mood Swings

I'd just like to know if anybody else has any experience of seeming to be more irritable and emotional during the time that they are getting the effects from Cialis?

REPORT

These are not normal side effects of the medication and I haven't read posts from many other people experiencing such a problem.

Medications can affect everyone differently, so it may be caused by the Cialis (Tadalafil), or it could be caused by something else entirely.

Have you contacted your doctor to discuss the problem, yet?

My husband takes Cialis and has experienced SEVERE mood swings when he is on it. He is also having chest pains. I have asked him to discontinue for one month to see.

My husband, too, becomes very moody and irritable when he is on Cialis. Consequently he only takes it spasmodically.

I will only take 1/4 on a 20mg tablet about every 3 to four days. The prescribed effect is great for everyone but it will in time, maybe building up toxicity, cause me to become very moody and easily angered which is not my normal behavior. I have gotten off of the medication and then back on and the same problems will occur. I told my wife how I was feeling and she concurred. Don't use it any more and use a naturally derived substitute. There are probably a lot more people with the same conditions but no one will bring it up if everyone is making the big money.

I've noticed my husband becomes unusually irritable a few hours after taking this medication.

I have been taking the Tazzle (Tadalafil 10 mg) for a few days and its hell for about 2 hours after taking the pill.

I experience severe headache and sometimes irritability, but my doc did warn about the headache when prescribing this.

Taking Acetaminophen or Paracetamol along with this pill will certainly alleviate these effects to some extent.

I have been taking generic Cialis (from Japan) now for about 5 months. I get hard as a rock like I was in my early 20s. Take 20 mg every other day -- no side effects. Wake up every morning with a rock hard erection. Am able to perform whenever the wife is interested in sex. MY SEX LIFE HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER.

I have a consistent headaches and growing mood swing associated with taking Cialis. In a way i'm glad to hear i'm not the only one - quite stressful. After several years without problem i now notice a diminished effect, maybe because i'm taking less dosage to offset the affect
Would anyone know if it possible the toxicity build up is permanent, whether changing to another medicine

Yes, both those were a side affect when i was taking Viagra, and if the whole tablet very noticeable. so i changed to Cialis and 1/2 a tablet. But now i notice unacceptable mood swings with prolonged use of that!

My husband just started taking the daily tablet of cialis and has noticed heaches but more then that he is feeling"off" like he is loosing his mind, forgetting things, and wanting to curl up in a ball. Could this be a side effect? I am thinking he should stop taking and see what happens. Thoughts, suggestions?

I only use it a few times a month but have noticed growing and deeper irritability. While I have enjoyed the improved performance, it is not worth it. Each time I use it the feeling gets to be more anger.

Irritability, being quick to anger is the one mood change that I have noticed.

I have been using Calais for 6 years it has always had a different side effect on me, such as headache, eyes redness, blurry vision, skin rashes, iching, sometimes a black or brown spot appear on my skin which it looks like burned or I hit something hot, muscle ache and chest pain I have had all of this problem as a result of using Cialis now even worse. I have come to the conclusion to stop using it forever.

I have been using Cialis for about 3 months and I too have noticed extreme emotional differences. I never used to be "clingy" and emotional as I was and the mood swings were what scared me/us. I actually put my hands on my wife and 'man-handled' by trying to forcefully yank her off of the couch but, luckily for me, I didn't hit her. It terrified her to the point of wanting to call the police and leave with our kids. I have never been violent, ever in our 18 years of marriage. I felt as though someone else was controlling my actions. I could see what was happening but not able to stop it. I threw away the Cialis the next day and will never be using it again. My marriage is still at risk, because she now thinks that this is how her becoming an abused spouse will start. I never have had violent tendencies and I think it's directly attributed to the Cialis. I certainly don't want to lose my wife & kids over this.

I have been taking antidepressant medications (Valdoxan), and while on them cialis caused me severe depression and anxiety for app. 48 hours. Now, beside Valdoxan, I am treated with a mood stabilizer (Lamotrigine). The latter prevents any mood swings and indeed, I do not experience any depression.

My partner began too use Cialis right before a trip to South America. I noticed he was very easily irritable I thought it was perhaps it was due to certain unforeseen issues with regards to our travel plans but it eventually became clear that the irritability was much more severe. He expressed very deep emotions and seemed very sorry for his anger and irritability but then suddenly would become angry all over again. It was a constant roller coaster. I struggled to ask him if the Cialis might have contributed to his anger and mood swings but did so in hopes that he would take it into consideration but unfortunately it only triggered another argument. I would rather have the limited sex that we had before with the loving partner I fell in love with instead of sex every day with a partnertner I feel I no longer know. While Cialis seemed to be a dream come true in bed, it turned our every day life into a nightmare.

Have you been able to determine if in fact this was due ti Cialis? I ham going through the same with my partner of 7 years but having a hard time convincing him that it may be due to the drug. He has never had this good of a result with anything else so I think he does not want to accept that this might be more harmful than good for our relationship. Any information you may have would be greatly appreciated.

Wow sounds SOOO familiar. At least my guy has not gotten violent (yet) but matches what you are describing to a "T". I hope things have gotten better for you, but I know the feeling that if you even make a suggestion you are the problem, not them! Best of luck

Holy crap, I’m so relieved to see this thread. I thought I was a lunatic for almost 2 days. I take the daily 5mg but asked for a supplemental 10mg for….well you know what for…but I ended up angry and hair-trigger tempered- I’m 56 and almost got into two fights! I’m just lucky I didn’t do any irreparable harm, the 10mg went right in the toilet.

Re: Brian (# 17)

I've been using Ciali off and on since 2014. I habe experienced the similiar side effects. Irrtability quick to anger and obsessive clinginess mentioned in the thread. I've started and stopped the medication many times and there's definitely a correlation between the mood swings, the anger and taking this medication. It is often difficult while on the medication to control your thought and actions when tbe irritability begins. I even contacted the makers of Cialis to report the side effect. But let's face it, this drug makes billions of dollars. There's no way there's going to be a warning label put on this medication indicating it causes anger and possible violent actions.Years ago I saw threads like this one. Thousands of men experiencing what we are experiencing, then the conversations just disappeared from Google. I'm glad to see this issue being discussed again There is an issue with this medication causing irritability and anger. It is not imagined.

Male in my twenties.
Cialis Pro's : rock hard meat sword
Cialis Con's : SIGNIFICANT HIGHTENED ANXIETY, mood swings and lack of motivation.

It's almost like after taking the pill your forget how to have social interactions with people.
After reading this forum I am so glad to find out I was not the only one experiencing these problems.

After using Cialis once to twice a week for about 3 years now I think the cons outweigh the pros.
During these 3 years I've learnt to fight off the mood swing but you're always on the backfoot socially when you are on Cialis.

I'm going to stop taking Cialis and search for natural remedies for ED ( test boosters, jelqing and edging).
These natural remedies use up more time but I think its worth it considering the gains you make socially and productively by not being on Cialis.
