| 2 | BPH | pain & lumps in throat,sinus drip, sensitive teeth. I take Brand name Flomax only it still has side effects but there are much fewer. | I take flomax every monday,wednesday and friday.

I also take pumpkin seed oil caps 3x daily.Cranberry,blueberry,pomergranate juices every day.My PSA went up only 1.1 pts in 3 year period.(3.7 to 4.8) I do not take finastiride and choose to take naturals described herein.

Difficulty in obtaining orgasm. No ejaculate. | Has not improved urine flow yet. | M | 68 | 9 days | 3/27/2009 | 1 | ICW KIDNEY STONES | I had an excruciating toothache that started in the gum behind the back lower teeth. The pain then radiated to the right side of my face so that I couldn't tell if it was my tooth or and ear infection. Visited both my doctor and my dentist and neither found anything wrong. I stopped taking Flomax and my toothache was gone the next day. I don't know that it was the Flomax but the fact that the toothache went away within 24 hours of stopping seems to be enough proof for me. I will speak with my urologist to see if there is an alternative medication. Also sexual side effects - no ejaculate with a weak erection. I could live with that temporarily - but I could not live with the pain. Luckily I had a few Oxycodone pills from my Urologist - but honestly even they had little effect on the pain. | M | 68 | 7 days 1X day | 4/19/2015 | 1 | DribbleN in underwear | Cough, extreme dry mouth and no ejaculation | Not advised u less absolutely 100% necessary | M | 68 | 1 weeks .4 | 3/6/2016 | 1 | Frequent Urination | My husband was put on generic Flomax - after a week started having hot flashes. At 10 days, horrible and scary double vision, sweats, dizziness, nausea, muscle weakness, tiredness. Stopped the drug. All symptoms disappeared the next day. | M | 68 | 14 days .4 mg 1X day | 1/8/2016 | 1 | prostate infection | Lower back pain, impotence, no ejaculation, dizziness, tireness, would need sleep during day, exhaustion, after a short walk legs felt heavy and felt I could not make it back | This drug should be taken off the market. Even though I explained the symptons to my urologist, he asked if I was over 60 and asked me what I expected at my age. I really thought my life was over. After stopping for 2 weeks symptons went away. Have my life back!! Have been having some withdrawals such as headache, nervousness, sleeplessness but worth it. | M | 68 | 12 months 30 1X day | 8/17/2012 | 1 | BPH | Chest pain, heart palpitations, insomnia, stuffy nose, headache, weakness, decreased libido - all the things seen here. | This stuff sucks! Stopped taking it, then started again, now will stop it for good. Can't stand side effects, especially the chest pain, palpitations, and insomnia. Have to admit it did help with urine problems, but just not worth it. | M | 68 | 3 months | 1/9/2007 | 1 | As a precaution- knee replacement | Face blew up, throat closed. Went to urgent care and got steroid shot & script. Back pain constantly. Tiredness. Like an anaphylactic reaction. After, skin just broke. Much care to face. A real horror show. 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 | 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.
