| 5 | bph | Seem to have little sex drive, and do not know if Flomax is the cause or perhaps Plavix or Lipitor? | The reason for prescribing Flomax was problem with draining urine from bladder which resulted in severe infection and a PSA of 24. After Flomax, urine flowed immediately and PSA came down to 2.46 within 2 months time. | M | 72 | 6 months | 11/17/2005 | 4 | brachiotherapy effects blocked evac | Erections soft. Ejaculations sparce and not vert rewarding | M | 72 | 1 years | 12/24/2006 | 3 | benign prostate enlargement | stuffy nose; diminished sex drive;lack of ejaculation | urine flow increased greatly, yet still up 2 to 3 times per night; will try saw palmetto again, although physician thinks I should accept side effects and stay on this drug | M | 72 | 35 days | 6/10/2005 | 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 | prostate cancer | tongue swelled,dizzy,light-headed and my father died after 1 hour! | M | 72 | 1 times | 3/2/2007 | 1 | to improve urination | One pill then light headed the next morning then total unconsciousness with heart stoppage. Was revived and required the emergency installation of a pace maker. The doctor said it was not related to the Flomax and said to take another Flomax pill the next evening which I did and had drastic fluctuation of bloob pressure. No one should take this unless you are already in the hospital and are under constant care to monitor side effects. It helped with the ability to urinate but with risking a near death expericnce. | It is a very dangerous drug. Don't risk it. | M | 72 | 2 days | 4/25/2008 | 5 | BPH - severe urinary frequency | nothing major that couldn't be tolerated | gave me my life back. At this point, I don't really care about the other side effects. | M | 71 | 30 days .4 mg 1X day | 11/6/2010 | 4 | Problems urinating post surgery | Erection problems, no ejaculation during orgasm. | Also taking blood pressue medication, Not sure what effect an ED medication like Levitra would have if I decided to take this or another ED medication. | M | 71 | 1 years | 4/24/2006 | 3 | BPH, UTI | Stuffy nose, not normal sex, this med DOES work to empty my bladder so that I do not have any UTI's. | My union stopped paying for brand Flomax. I went on generic (tamsulosin) the side effects became intolerable, stuffy nose,throat, not normal sex. I went back on brand Flomax and paid out of pocket $500. for 90 pills. Side effects was very minimal but was breaking my wallet. I now buy from U.K. and pay$170.00 for 84caps of brand Flomax. Side effects are now much more tolerable. | M | 71 | 6 years .04mg 1X O | 11/10/2014 | 3 | BPH | Nasal congestion, cough, chest congestion, retro grade ejaculation, muscle soreness and weakness. | Medication has considerably improved urine flow and overall output, as well as needed frequencies. The side effects are considerable. Don't think i would take this for long term resolution. | M | 71 | 2 months 4mg 1X day | 12/13/2020 | 2 | Retention-Scar tissue from TUR. | Very high blood pressure,especially distalic pressure.Weak spells with profuse sweating. Increased bowel movements. | Flomax does work and markedly increases the strength of stream flow.However the side effects are a serious consideration. | M | 71 | 4 months | 10/7/2004 | 1 | Enlarged Prostate | Little or no ejaculation - when there is some it is clear. Climax is not as intense | Cough Runny Nose Back Pain | M | 71 | 3 months | 9/4/2006 | 1 | Enlarged prostate | Extreme diarrhea, extreme dizziness, vision changes, weakness | M | 71 | 7 months 0.8 | 4/10/2018 | 5 | BPH--unable to fully void bladder | Retrograde ejaculation--some stuffiness | 70 | 2 weeks | 2/26/2007 | 5 | bph and uti | Semen reduced to a drop and makes my nose stuffy. | This stuff works! Dr. told me once a day and it worked within hours. Urologist suggested cutting back so I went to every other day and that also worked. Stopped for 5 days and symptoms came back, so going back to every other day. When I travel, you can be sure that this will go with me. What great stuff. | M | 70 | 14 days | 2/1/2007 | 4 | Bph | Lightheaded most of the day Ear pain and pressure Sinus problems Loss of energy | Flomax does work, but I'm debating if the side effects are worth the complications | M | 70 | 1 years .8 1X day | 1/2/2023 | 3 | enlarged prostate | nasal congestion,runny nose & sneezing also sex life is not as enjoyable. | it really does work but after suffering with bad nasal problems for the past 6 years I quit and am now taking terazosin,2MG per day.it seems to work and I no longer have nasal side effects. | M | 70 | 6 years | 2/23/2007 | 3 | BPH | nasal stuffiness pronounced, back pain | M | 70 | 2 years | 10/24/2005 | 3 | prostitus-BPH | Weaken sex feeling, some tiredness, weaken flow in the morning. | I find when I take 100% Cherry juice,(Kudsen brand) It makes my flow stronger, and prevents any infection in the urinary tract. When they first gave me a PSA test, it read 7.4, and they wanted to take a Biopsey, I said to revaluate me in two weeks, In that two weeks I had about seven quarts of Cherry Juice, when i went back and took the test, it read 3.4. Some how Cherry juice, prevents uric acid buildup in the urinary track, and they now are finding out That the Perillyl alcohol, which is in the skin of the Cherry, destroys the proteins that the cancer lives on. I find that the Cherry juice with the Flowmax work well together... I also take Vitamin B-12 & folic Acid. B-12 for the nerves, and mind,as when you get older, the myelin sheaths,(coating around nerves) dry out and deteriate, one of the causes of multiple sclerosis & Alzheimer's disease & ALS. B-12 lubricates the Myelin Sheaths, also carrys more oxygen to the blood. I take 1000mcg Time Release B-12 as the time release will metablize in the intestinal track and not the stomach, as the hydrocloric acid in the stomach will destroy the B-12, because B-12 is 5% Cobalt, and acids attack heavey metals. I take Folic Acid for the Heart, they say that if more men would take folic acid acid it would prevent 40% of heart attacks in men. | M | 70 | 4 years | 5/1/2005 | 3 | BPH | Drowsiness 3 or 4 hours after I take pill. Loss of energy! Some depression. | I want to thank this website for making me alert to these side effects. I now take Flomax, right before I go to bed, and I think everyone should, I was wondering why I got tired and drowsy 3 or 4 hours after I took the Flowmax. I have been also taking B-12, but wasn't geting the energy, and my mind was slippying, However since I have changed the time when I take the Flomax, I have got back my energy, and my mind is getting sharper than ever. What I can recommend is Take Flomax before you go to bed! I just can't believe the change in me since I switched the time I take it. I feel like 10 years younger. To bad that Drug company can't figure that out! | M | 70 | 4 days | 5/2/2005 |
