Hello
Thanks for query .

Based on the facts that you have posted you are facing problem of Erectile Dysfunction since 2 years and have been taking Viagra however not getting satisfactory erection with generic Viagra .

It is known that these drugs are ineffective after being used for a long periods .

Headache with Cialis is likely to be due to high doses .I would suggest to modify the dose of Cialis .Take 2 mg of Cialis everyday and 5 mg on the day of planned sexual activities .This will help to reduce the headache .

Are you diabetic?

The problem of ED that you have is due to multiple factors
1) Hypertension .
2) Age related atherosclerosis
3) Neurogenic factor

However the modification which I normally follow in my practice over a period of last 40 years does help my patients to have enjoyable sex.

You can certainly try it .
