Default viagra & PCS

Does anyone know if it's safe (or at least not a terrible idea) to take viagra or similar with PCS. I found on some website that:-

"Other issues with Viagra can include little things like headaches (the drug, as a side effect in some men, opens up arteries in the brain's lining and causes excess pressure)"

which worries me slightly.

Not asking for any particular reason of course, just curious really.....

I suggest you try a smaller than usual dose. If your head tolerates it, you can try a full dose. The smaller dose may be enough for your objective.

I take Levitra because the paroxetine (Paxil) I take has side effects I need to overcome. When I get a head ache, I know the drug is in my system.

Thanks Mark, I'll try that.

A headache I can handle, it's a full blown relapse that I'm worried about.
