from WSJ 5/4 just a few select paragraphs: interactive.wsj.com (requires subscription) Reality Check: Viagra Won't Help Everyone THE BUZZ OVER a blue diamond-shaped pill suggests that every man can be a tiger with Viagra in his tank. But a success rate of up to 80% means one in five men won't feel renewed by the new impotence treatment. Amid the first flush of Viagra success stories, there are some failures and frustrations. A 60-year old Bay Area consultant, who underwent prostate cancer surgery seven years ago, finds Viagra's promise so far unfulfilled. "I tried it twice," he says. "Zero. The first time, I was stressed out. The second time, I was calmer but it still didn't work." Now, contemplating doubling his dose to 100 from 50 milligrams, his treatment is a work-in-progress. Disappointment also followed a one-month regimen by a retired retailer in San Francisco. After more than a dozen doses, satisfaction eludes him. An hour after taking the pills, he felt a fleeting response, "but then -- nil." HIS WIFE of 46 years sees the parade of Viagra hype passing her husband by. "It gives you the idea that it's going to help everybody. That's not true," she adds.
