| 1 | Enlarged prostate | Real great drug the big pharma vampires concocted here. 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 | 2 | BHP | Fatigue, Retrograde Ejaculation, loss of sex drive, lack of stamina, shortness of breath (sometimes), brain fog | Took myself off of it. Have been off now three days ... mind is starting to clear, a little more energy. It did help with the urinary issues ... but after three days of not taking it .... problems have not returned. I have a visit scheduled with a new urologist. | M | 60 | 3 months .4 mg 1X day | 3/28/2022 | 2 | Frequency | Been on Betmiga 50 mg for 2 weeks, started Flomax as well 4 days ago. Since 4 days ago have had dizziness, very sore throat and total loss of appetite. The frequency has dropped a little but still going 10 times a night. | Had cystoscopy 7 days ago , follow up from Bladder Cancer May 2016. Had OAB for 20 years but learnt to live with it, however last Month went from 2-3 times a night to 10-15 times urinating. Worried that cancer may have returned but cystoscopy was clear with only a couple of red patches on bladder wall , no tumours. Im wondering how long before Flomax kicks in . | M | 72 | 4 days 5mg 1X day | 3/15/2022 | 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. I'm waking up in the morning with bad headache and dizziness. I'm done taking it...it isn't worth the side effects. | M | 54 | 6 days .4 mg 1X day | 2/14/2022 | 1 | BPH, but I have prostatitis. | Dizziness, runny nose, inability to ejaculate, urine flow is worse than when I started the drug. | When I first started the drug I thought that it reduced the irritation I was feeling in the bladder, and I thought my flow was slightly better, but after being on the drug for more than a month my flow is much worse. 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 | 2 | BHP | upper jaw pain on both sides. | M | 75 | 2 days 5 1X day | 12/10/2021 | 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. Have diarrhea, sinus pain, insomnia, stuffy nose, eye pain. | I had taken this drug before with the same reaction but I took it again out of desperation with my I difficulty voiding, | F | 68 | 0 days .4mg 1X day | 12/1/2021 | 4 | BPH pre and post TURP | Occasional light head, different bowel movement, Overall not a lot of side effects | Helped urine flow prior to TURP surgery To the point that I almost canceled the TURP surgery but I decided to go forward with the surgery and not depend on Flomax the rest of my life. I know Flomax is not for everyone, but it certainly worked for me | M | 78 | 45 days 0.4 1X day | 11/15/2021 | 1 | post prostate cancer treatment | severe lower back pain | M | 78 | 30 days .4mg 1X day | 11/2/2021 | 1 | enlarged prostate | I was so so tired with this I thought my life was ending. And now I find out it is not to treat an enlarge prostate but to help with peeing- and I didnt have any problems with peeing! | M | 61 | 34 days 4 1X day | 10/27/2021 | 2 | Frequent night time urination | headache, crazy dreams, persistent erection, low ejaculation. | Would rather take this then viagra. Did not help with BPH | M | 67 | 2 days . 04 1X day | 8/30/2021 | 4 | Urinary Retention | This drug significantly increases my urine stream. The only negative effects are hypotension, once my BP was 90/75, increased heart rate over 100, and blurring of vision at times | This drug works to improve urinary flow, however it causes significant hypotension, at least with me and increased heart rate. Low blood pressure is a side effect stated in the prescribing information and you should watch it. | M | 45 | 3 years 0.4 1X day | 6/28/2021 | 3 | BPH | Tiredness, stuffy nose, reduced exercise performance & headache | Helps flow and bladder control esp overnight but thinking about stopping due to side effects. | M | 55 | 40 days 400microgr 1X day | 5/22/2021 | 1 | extreme problems urinating | nausea, as if motion sick, dizziness, weakness, groggy, depressed, brain fog | took Flomax for about a week. Symptoms came on slowly but then, after about four days, I was constantly nauseated every time I stood up, tired to the point of disability, groggy, constantly dizzy. However, my difficulty urinating completely disappeared. I'm contacting my doctor to let him know I can't take the side effects. | M | 68 | 7 days .4 mg 1X day | 5/5/2021 | 3 | Enlarged prostate | Sinus pressure, facial pain, jaw and ear ache, pain behind my eye which actually woke me and prevented me sleeping. Blurred vision. Became lightheaded and dizzy with a pounding heart when going from sitting to standing. This would interfere too much with my daily life to put up with. Only had for 1 day so I don't know if these effects subside with continued use, but the pain is too significant to persevere and find out. | I believe it works, as my urinary flow rate increased slightly after just the first dose, but honestly, for me, I'm not sure it's worth the trade off to be in excruciating pain from the side effects, but able to pee normally. I may return to it but for now it's too intense. | M | 31 | 1 days 0.4mg 1X day | 3/10/2021 | 1 | Bph | Congestion and gum/ tooth issues. I also experienced headaches.

My urine flow was a dribble and very frequent.The sudden urge to go pee was terrible.since taking flomax I can hold my urine as normal, its no exaggeration to say it has transformed my life. a bonus is that it helped open my urinary tract and I passed the kidney stone without having to have surgery | M | 57 | 30 days 400 | 2/12/2021 | 4 | BPH | 20 hours after taking first tablet I started to get some annoying pain in my teeth and funny taste in my mouth. Took a second pill but the pain continued to develop through the evening. By the time I went to bed I was in a lot of pain in my teeth (upper right side), had a real nasty metal taste in my mouth, and had developed an agonising headache - felt as if somebody was driving a knife in behind my right eye. Did manage to fall asleep, but woke up one hour later, still in agony. Was pretty close to heading to the hospital just in case there was something serious going on, but google searched and found this page. Settled my nerves a little bit after reading other peoples experience. So I popped a couple of high strength Ibuprofen and managed to fall asleep. Woke up in the morning feeling a lot better, still some niggling throbs, but getting better. Guess it's just my body getting used to the medication. Was to the point that I was wondering if there was something seriously w | It has started to solve my difficulty with urination so will continue the treatment. There is a list of other possible side effects that I have yet to see if they become an issue. | M | 56 | 1 days 0.4mg 1X day | 1/8/2021 |
