Viagra and EQ

[joshbb1]

Ok, just got some Viagra, and tried it for the first time the other night. I ended up puking w/ the worst indigestion I've ever had in my life, and have been shiting pitch black for the past two days. I've read up on it, and appearently you shouldn't take "nitrates" on Viagra. I'm sitting here wondering if possibly the reason for this is that I'm at about 600mg/week of EQ. I have no clue if EQ is a "nitrate" but I know it directly effects ones nitrogen balance. Please bear in mind that I was drinking heavily that night also. Could either the alchohol or the EQ be to blame? - josh

You should not drink and bake...

Try drinking some grapefruit juice on that shit. It makes it more powerful. I don't know about your question though.

1. EQ probably not significant nitrate content
2. the nitrate+viagra contraindication is because of a risk of extreme drop in blood pressure (not what you're describing)
3. extremely dark/black stool is sometimes an indication of bleeding somewhere in the GI tract (ulcer, tumor, blockage, etc). MUST BE EVALUATED BY A DOCTOR.

Now I'm interested in the grapefruit theory!!!

alcohol, viagra, and EQ? doesn't sound like a good combination. I wish I could help you with an answer bra, but I don't have one. The only advice I can give is don't take the three together again. It's bad enough on your body when you mix AS with alcohol. Just my $.02

a drug interaction checker. the URL rule people haven't clarified what can and can't be posted, so I'll skip it. they are on several big pharmacy sites.

Grapefruit juice interacts with LOTS of stuff.
