Had shades of weird lockjaw too. | I play BBall 3 days a week and PBall 6 days/week. Pretty healthy old guy. Thought my back hurt from sports. Nope! Went away after ceasing taking this poison. Use Kai Kit pills (Chinese herb mixture). Far superior and safe. Gonna take a while to chase out of my system. Approaching normalcy. Finally getting back to looking like me instead of the elephant man. Played both basketball & Pickleball yesterday. First day back. I figure the cardio will accelerate healing. Always does. Had sex today wife my wife and all is well in that Dept. Gonna try to convince her to go for it again under the premise of "medical reasons", but I do't think she'll buy that story. | M | 68 | .4 mg 1X day | 4/1/2023 | 1 | BPH | lethargy, depression | I did not notice much of a positive effect.

You have a choice: good urine stream or becoming a pain-ridden eunuch. Nice. After a week on this swill, I could no longer ejaculate. Like, at all. I also had chronic dry mouth and scratchy throat and my testicles felt like I was being hit in the groin with a baseball bat, ALL THE TIME. Nope. Guess I'll just have to deal with weak pee. Good job Pharma Brohs. I'm sure you'll all buy new super-yachts off the profits of all the other drugs people will have to buy to relieve all the side effects of this ****ing POISON. | Stay away from this s***! | M | 59 | 10 days 0.4mg 1X day | 4/5/2022 | 1 | Kidney Stone | Day after starting the medication developed a sore throat and in a few days the sore throat sensation spread into my lungs with a dry cough.

My flow issue is a result of prostatitis and not BPH. | M | 65 | 0 months .4 mg 1X day | 1/28/2022 | 1 | BPH | Given to help urinate due to BPH. Side effects out weigh the Medication. Severe fatigue,insomnia, bilateral TMJ pain and low back pain. Initially the medication worked like viagra but with a dry orgasm. After time complete loss of libedo. Impaired cognitive function and overall weakness. Bilateral leg swelling with foot pain all of which which subsided after discontinuing medication.As a Doctor myself I would take the .4mg capsules and take them apart dumping about half out then resealing. I found it was best for me to take mine right after lunch versus at night time because it will keep you up all night. My opinion would be that is equal to rat poisoning. | M | 62 | 7 days .4 1X day | 12/21/2021 | 1 | urine retention | An hour after first dose symptoms improve, but after subsequent doses retention got worse and the Hesitancy to start flow was more severe.

FLOMAX (TAMSULOSIN HYDROCHLORIDE): Tamsulosin is used by men to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia-BPH). It does not shrink the prostate, but it works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and the bladder. This helps to relieve symptoms of BPH such as difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the need to urinate often or urgently (including during the middle of the night). Tamsulosin belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha blockers. Do not use this medication to treat high blood pressure.
