| 1 | Kidney stones | dizziness, headache, nauseated, retrograde orgasm, fatigue, depression, anxiety, loss of appetite, lower back pain, constipation. | Got this from my urologist as a help to pass a kidney stone.(10mm) I tried it for two weeks but it had changed me in a constipated, anxious, nauseated zombie with a horrible headache... I quit yesterday and I am slowly becoming my old self again. Oddly enough the side effects became worse the longer I took this drug; usually it's the other way around. PS: the stone hasn't passed. | M | 58 | 14 days 0.4 mg 1X day | 6/20/2012 | 1 | Possible kidney stones | Younger Guys and older men. Donot take these meds unless u really have to. Side effects are out of line!!!! Seriously. Took generic form of flomax third day. No semen!!! I frieked the fuck out. My nose was stuffy me thinking I was catching a cold in the middle of summer. Depression was another side effect. I would sleep 11 hours and would feel like shit all day. Guys the worse was the orgasm w/o semen really messed with my mind. Stop | M | 25 | 3 days 0.4 | 6/26/2012 | 1 | To help with urination | I was recovering from a heart attack when the nurse removed my cathater like she was going to lasso a bull. Two days later I started to have trouble urinating. Dizzyness Rash on stomach, arms and legs. Flomax stopped my urination twice within 2 hours of taking it and had to have a cathater inserted. Things were going fine the second time after I had the first cathater removed as I was advised to leave it in until all of the Cipro they put me on was gone. No problems urinating for 16 straight hours then two hours after taking it at night I was in the ER unable to urinate. Not taking anymore of it. | M | 60 | 1 weeks .4 | 6/9/2013 | 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 | 7mm kidney stone | use it for passing 7mm kidney stone, the first three days were ok and stopped for 3 days. dr asked me to continue and use it again for 6 days. my nose is totally blocked and cannot sleep at all!

And the stone has not passed after four weeks! | M | 32 | 6 days 40mg 1X day | 7/6/2012 | 1 | Kidney Stones 6mm and 7mm | Retrogade ejaculation, mood swings, crazy dreams and dizziness.

Horrible drug, avoid!! | M | 26 | 1 days 1x40mg PD | 3/15/2012 | 1 | getting up to pee at night | My father took this drug while hospitalized a few years earlier & had vivid realistic sometimes fightening dreams. Most recently, last summer he began taking it again & began having hallucinations after taking for 4 days. He stopped taking but a couple of weeks later "had a bad dream" and ended up being taken to the hospital after a violent episode. Doc diagnosed him as having dementia, but has been fine since getting out of the hospital almost 8 months ago. The only time he was messed up was within the first few weeks of taking flowmax. | M | 89 | 4 days | 4/23/2012 | 1 | BPH and Interstitial cystitis | Dizzyness the next day, worst headache of my life, effected sinuses, and worst of all , I had no ejaculate at all. | This stuff is dangerous and should be banned. I will sufer with my problems I already have, why add to them. I just hope I can ejaculate again. | M | 43 | 1 days 1 1X day | 7/3/2013 | 1 | Kidney stones | Random and lengthy (duration) erections, tight feeling in grundle area, retrograde ejaculation...as in orgasm with no ejaculation through penis, lower sex drive and getting depressed becausr of these affects. | M | 35 | 8 days 0.4mg | 6/6/2012 | 1 | BPH | Episode of multiple bleeds in the brain.

Experienced the sensation - but no output. | M | 31 | 6 days | 9/4/2001 | 1 | EPH | Side effects: Throat, jaw, and gums irretations to terrible muscle spasms. | Dr. put me on this when I had a UTI and said I had a slightly enlarged Prostate 3.7 after being on flomax for 3 yrs and PSA at 4.8, I started to add things to my diet: 1 CENTRUM SILVER for men,1000mg pumpkin seed oil tabs 3x a day, pomergranate cap 1x a day, lycopene caps 1x a day, Just black Cherry juice (knudsen brand ) 4oz a day, 8 oz Cranberry juice daily, 8oz blueberry juice 8oz daily.After 3.5 years on Flomax I stopped completely but kept up with these caps and juices added to my diet and now One Year after stopping all FLOMAX my PSA decreased to 4.6. I still get the throat,jaw and gum irritations and spasms even though I have not had any FLOMAX in about a year..True story | M | 70 | 3.5 years .04mg 1X day | 6/7/2013 | 1 | Prostate | Feeling like passing out.rapid heart rate,intermittently | Need to research heart effects | M | 93 | 14 days 0.4mg 1X day | 1/22/2013 | 1 | BPH | This was the nightmare for an sexually active male. Worst was taking after onset of cold and then getting stuffed on air flight home Insomnia actually related to masturbating for 4 hours without the whimper of orgasm No sex drive at all despite attempts at Internet videos. Most scientific attempt was inability of Asian semiprofessional masturbation to yield a drop despite coexistent deep hummingbird like prostate stimulation. (pulseless while giving young Asian cardio workout- even more perplexed about what to tip) Rather deal with post void dribbling than Simultaneous head clamping,equivalent to mailing your sex organ out of earth's atmosphere. Should be must for convicted sex offenders. Other than that a great drug. | M | 53 | 1 days .4 mg | 9/17/2012 | 1 | Enlarged Prostrate | Besides the common problems listed by others, the following have been stressful: Panic attacks in situations that I previously coped well with. Also, waking at night with panic attack lasing 15-mins or so. Anxiety has led to drop in self-confidence. Also find nose bleeds and subsequent sores in nasal passages are a nuisance. | Is it worth actually taking this medication? The side effects seem worse that what it is supposed to cure. I am going to stop and see how I get on without it. | M | 49 | 1 years 400mg 1X day | 9/22/2012 | 1 | frequent urination | retro frade ejaculation, tenseness | Not only didn't it help, my symptoms got worse with more trips to the bathroom...I am stopping to take it now!! | M | 30 | 4 days | 9/13/2005 | 1 | Where do I start? Persistent headaches, increased my blood pressure, increased my heart rate, made me tired, anxious and didn't work to boot. | Horrible medication. The side effects are far to concerning to stay on this stuff. I made the mistake of stopping my daily Saw Palmetto (I was on this kick to reduce supplements). When I stopped, I noticed the symptoms and instead of going back on Saw Palmetto I saw my doctor who prescribed Flomax. I would rather pee a lot than have to deal with the side effects from this drug. When I told my doctor of the symptoms he told to stop taking it immediately (he didn't elaborate - but the kick response spoke for itself). | M | 47 | 1 weeks | 6/20/2006 | 1 | Restricted urination flow | Where do I start?

When I told my doctor of the symptoms he told to stop taking it immediately (he didn't elaborate - but the kick response spoke for itself). | M | 47 | 1 weeks | 6/20/2006 | 1 | Difficulty Urinating | I noticed it became increasingly more difficult to urinate hours after taking my first dose, and almost impossible by the 4 day mark. After stopping, it went back to how it had been....difficult, but possible. Maybe my problem is not the prostate (still undetermined by my doctors), but I can't believe this would make it WORSE! | M | 26 | 4 days | 8/5/2006 | 1 | prostatitis | loss of libido, difficulty getting erection, short erection duration, abnormal ejaculation | M | 47 | 3 months .4 mg/day | 10/3/2012 |
