Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion AMS - would Sildenafil (Viagra) help?

Hilarious, but also serious question - has anyone found Viagra/Sildenafil to be useful as a way to fight AMS?

For example, taking it before going to bed at Trail Camp, and in the morning while attempting to summit.

I would think that having better bloodflow would help combat AMS?

I'm curious whether anyone has actually tried this. I know that Diamox (sp?) is the usual medicine for AMS, but the list of side-effects has put me off it.

Whereas the only side-effect of Viagra is if you get too excited, then you might need to take a rest to calm down :P
