| 1 | BPH | Originally when I started taking this drug it decreased frequency of urination during the daytime and my stream was a tad stronger. Eventually after about 2 months these effects diminished. I started feeling very tired,bit anxious, loss of strength, muscle soreness and back and body aches as well as experiencing what is called retrograde ejaculation. Didn't associate these symptoms to the Flomax until last week when I actually read the material provided by the pharmacy. I stopped taking it 4 days ago and feel so much better and have been urinating less than when I was taking it. Go figure! I will never take Flomax again and will start my own treatment taking vitamin E, flaxseed oil,zinc and saw palmetto. | M | 67 | 8 months .4mg | 5/11/2015 | 1 | Frequent urination, sudden urge | Day 1, stuffy nose to the point that I could only breathe thru my mouth. Day 2, heart palpitations. Day 3, retrograde ejaculation. Day 4, increase in episodes of palpitations, continued stuffiness. There will be no Day 5. I have stopped this medication before irreversible damage is done. | I have never experienced side effects from any medication I have taken. With Flomax I have experienced multiple side effects in less than a week! I will cope with my uncontrollable urges to urinate rather than subject myself to these, in my opinion, serious side effects. | M | 67 | 4 days 0.4 1X day | 11/4/2016 | 1 | Problem emptying bladder per Physic | After only 2 days marked decrease in ability to sustain erection and ability to ejaculate. Had none of these problems prior. Stopping immediately..stay away from this stuff | Don't take it. | M | 67 | 2 days | 11/26/2016 | 1 | Problem emptying bladder per Physic | After only 2 days marked decrease in ability to sustain erection and ability to ejaculate. Had none of these problems prior. Stopping immediately..stay away from this stuff | Don't take it. | M | 67 | 2 days | 11/26/2016 | 1 | Problem emptying bladder per Physician | After only 2 days marked decrease in ability to sustain erection and ability to ejaculate. Had none of these problems prior. Stopping immediately..stay away from this stuff | Don't take it. | M | 67 | 2 days | 11/26/2016 | 1 | 2 days | Severe toothache | Went to 2 dentist thinking I needed a root canal spent over 300 dollars I wish I had just peed on myself | M | 67 | 2 days 1X day | 6/23/2017 | 1 | BPH/Uniary difficulty | Chronic cough and sore throat | Anyone with similar side effect, could you please let me know how long it took to clear up after discontinuing medication? Thx | M | 67 | 10 days 0.4mg 1X day | 7/24/2018 | 1 | Frequent urine | Urinating constantly | Not going to take this drug | M | 67 | 3 days 0.04 1X day | 7/3/2014 | 1 | enlaged prostate | no sperm coming out when masturbating | I take the Generic bran | M | 67 | 0.4 1X day | 1/20/2014 | 5 | BPH | NONE | One week after starting to take flomax, the plumbing was working like I was eighteen years old again! | M | 66 | 7 months | 11/14/2008 | 5 | Problems urinating | None | Seems to have increased blood flow to penis. Get erections easier. | 66 | 0 months 0.4 | 1/1/2020 | 4 | BPH | Retro ejaculation, also painfull, also had sysdoscopy. some ed and painful orgasm for first 5,6 weeks. Then I take flomax 4pm after sex, then no sexual side effects. This really works! I also take 2 pumpkin seed oil capsules 1000mg daily first month then 1 daily second month thereafter. One year later urologist says my prostate has shrunk in size. It really works for me! | Sperm is back after a few months and painful orgasm is gone. Near normal sex a little prolonged ()15 to 20 minutes... but is really fantastic! After you get thru first couple of months then...near normal or better.I take cranberry/pomeranate 100% juice daily...I have been for i year!Urinatation very normal. | M | 66 | 1 years | 11/2/2009 | 3 | BPH | Very indirect sort of side effect: It lead me to delay TURP surgery which was ultimately what I needed. Also: It greatly reduced the amount of money in my wallet. This stuff ain't cheap. | You can get flomax from Canadian online or telephone pharmacies for about 1/3rd the price of USA prices. This is normal quality controlled chemically identical factory packaged stuff. No difference except the package. It is simply outrageous that our own government prohibits, by law, your doctor from even mentioning this option to you. And you don't have to be a professor of economics or organized crime researcher to know that the pharmacutical companies are selectively ripping off Americans (charging 3 to 4 times as much for the same presecription medicine in the USA as in Canada or Australia) with the cooperation of the US government. There are several legit Canadian online/mailorder pharmacies. I had OK experiences with Canpharm. But it takes as much as three weeks, and faxing of your prescriptions -- so you can't wait to the last minute to get medicine this way. | M | 66 | 500 days | 12/18/2008 | 3 | enlarged prostate | Decrease sexual climax, no sperm at first, BP increase, slight headache | After two months intensity and duration of sex increased to not quite normal but much better than at the beginning of taking flomax.Helped stronger stream. I pee once a night or sleep right thru the night.Sex is still not quite normal.I think after two months BP went up to 155/82. | M | 66 | 3 months | 2/18/2009 | 3 | bph, hematuria | Dizzy, lethargy, CONSTIPATION. Urine flow better, but my belief is that this drug, like all other synthetic pharmaceuticals, is not recognized by the body as anything other than poison. Still, with a giant prostate, what are you going to do? Surgery? Over my cold, dead dick! | M | 66 | 28 days .4? 1X day | 12/10/2017 | 3 | Kidney stone stuck in ureter | I was actually expecting some really horrific side effects based on what I read on this website. Last night I took my first pill and woke up this morning with a tight bloated feeling. I also got the stuffy nose but didn’t think it was related to the pill but now I know it was. ( after doing my research ). Other than that, I am not experiencing anything out of the normal. | I will have to take this pill another nine days. Hopefully, this will alleviate me having to do surgery with the stent which I found out is very very horrific | F | 66 | 1 days .4 mg | 1/25/2018 | 2 | BPH | Abdominal pain, leg pain and cramps, back pain, headache and dizziness. I also feel tired and have no energy. Still have to urinate every 2 to 3 hours at night. No semen and weak erection. | I was on Calais for a few days which seemed to help the BPH and also my sexual life but I got back pain at night that would not allow me to sleep at all. Got off of it and no more back pain. Will give Flomax some more time but will go every other day and see what happens. | M | 66 | 60 days .4 MG 1X day | 6/28/2012 | 2 | bph | intermittent retroejaculation; severe nasal & chest congestion 6 hours after taking, even on reduced dose every other day. | Turns out probable allergy to the sulfa component, despite some claims in some ircles that allergy to sulfa drugs will not affect those taking flomax; nasal & chest congestion disappeared when switched to Rapaflo, although retro eja more severe with Rapaflo & Rapaflo a much more expensive drug | M | 66 | 1 years .4 mg 1X day | 2/16/2012 | 2 | BPH | Light headed and winded, especially during exercise. Out of breath when climbing stairs. | M | 66 | 4 weeks | 1/8/2007 | 2 | Urination very, very slow. | No ejaculate. Possibly a stuffy nose. Less money in bank. | It hasn't helped my urination flow problem any that I can tell. This is second time I've tried it, at my doctor's advice. When I stopped taking it about a year ago, ejaculate came back. When I started on it about about three weeks ago, ejaculate stopped again . . . goes into bladder I guess. I can't see that it helps me at all but will continue test and sonograms to see if bladder empties better. | M | 66 | 21 days | 6/25/2004 |
