Same thing happened to us and we tried Pepcid, Gas-X, etc. Nothing really
helped other than going to daily Cialis. If you try that, start with 2.5mg for
a week and see if that is strong enough (30 5mg are reasonably priced - we cut
in half). If not, try 5mg daily.
Good luck... seems like we've tried everything for the stomach upset.
Oh, yeah, also, Levitra stopped giving massive stomach problems finally. So it
might be a matter of keep trying. But go with the lowest dose that works.
