| 1 | Kidney Stone | Horrible tooth ache and jaw pain, pain radiates from upper left tooth to temple, been popping Advil 5 times a day, no more FLOMAX for me! | M | 54 | 3 days 0.4MG 1X day | 10/13/2016 | 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 | Urine retention | No ejaculation, feeling tired all day at work and feeling nausea sometimes, nightmares, occasional back pain and light tooth pain too, stuffy nose and hard to breath, internal pain around bladder | Stop taking. didn't notice any difference on my urine flow at all. | M | 26 | 1 weeks 400 | 11/14/2016 | 1 | Kidney stones | Dizziness,pain in teeth, insomnia, weekness all over, headaches, heart palpitations , I feel like I have the flu. | This is a horrible drug.

He did not warn me about side effects. Was shocked when I could not ejaculate after only 5 days on the medication. I will stop immediately.

Shortness of breath and some dizziness and light headed right after standing and beginning to walk. Started feeling extremely bad all day after about 10 days. Had constant lowered energy and lethargy and felt badly all day long. Had tightness in chest and tenseness in neck and head hurt very badly upon rising and walking upstairs to my bedroom to go to bed for two nights in a row. Almost went to emergency room one night, due to feeling that bad. Thought I may be having a stroke or heart attack. Stopped taking it and felt remarkably better within 24 hours. I've never had a worse or more disturbing bad reaction to a drug like this, in my life. | M | 64 | 20 days .04 MG 1X day | 5/19/2016 | 1 | BPH | Symptoms got worse, weakness, dry mouth, extremely weak ejaculation, more issues emptying bladder | I am going to quit taking tomorrow and call my Urologist. I have had urinary retention and an enlarged prostate with issues most of my adult life. This drug seemed to have made all of my symptoms worse. I feel drowsy and dizzy. My weak stream is MUCH weaker, I used to only get up 1 time a night to pee, now it is 5-10. My ejaculations are pitiful and used to be very strong. I used to have issues fully emptying my bladder but since I have been on this, it is even worse. I read most people had the opposite effect so not sure why I am having such issues. Also I am feeling tired and winded (in good physical shape) but can't sleep. | M | 34 | 5 days .4 1X day | 3/5/2016 | 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 | trouble urinating | Difficulty achieving/maintaining erections; difficulty ejaculating, dizziness, anxiety, feeling hot | Stopped taking the Flomax. Can anyone tell me how long before normal sexual functioning returns? Didn't realize until I read postings on this site that the medication could cause such severe sexual problems. Sometimes I'll wake in the middle of the night and have a great hard erection only to lose it once I start masturbating. During the day only can gave a soft erection which doesn't last. I'm hoping no permanent damage has occurred. | M | 64 | 3 months .4 1X day | 7/14/2016 | 1 | Frequent urination Day and night | Diziness, light headed. disoriented, stumbling, falling down, Driving While Impaired. Scared the hell out of me. | I really thought I was dying. I quit taking this three days ago and still suffer the side effects. Vividly lived a dream. Nearly pounded my dog to death in my sleep. How can I get this crap out of my system? I will monitor this site for any response. | M | 70 | 2 months .4mg 1X day | 9/15/2016 | 1 | weakstream,water retention | no ejaculate,weird thoughts and very scarey lucid dreams | tried taking Flomax on and off for 2 yrs,would stop for awhile and adverse symtoms would stop but then I couldn't hardly pass enough urine so I wouldgo onit again!!The worst has been the horrible dreams while on it!!EVERYNIGHT!! sometimes iawake in a panic and it takes a minute or two to realize I was only in a dream!! Not worth the hassel wish I could find a natural help!! | M | 54 | 2 years 0.4mg 1X day | 7/23/2016 | 1 | Kidney stone and mild BPH | Retrograde ejaculation. Diminished orgasm greatly . | The urologist said it may occur. It has helped with the urine stream to help the stone pass but I will discontinue and go back on the holistic saw palmetto . | M | 62 | 3 days | 2/21/2016 | 1 | Urination frequency/urgency, etc. | Tightness in chest/trouble taking deep breaths.
