FLOMAX  (TAMSULOSIN HYDROCHLORIDE):  Tamsulosin is used by men to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia-BPH). It does not shrink the prostate, but it works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and the bladder. This helps to relieve symptoms of BPH such as difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the need to urinate often or urgently (including during the middle of the night). Tamsulosin belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha blockers. Do not use this medication to treat high blood pressure.   FDA Approval Date: 1997-04-15 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  BPH Vertigo, weakness, shakiness, depersonalization, mental fog, inability to concentrate, forgot English grammar, tunnel vision, partial blindness, slurred speech, stuttering, metallic taste in mouth, etc. I went to the emergency room because I thought I was having a stroke. My mind felt disconnected from the present. My speech was slurred; and forming words and sentences became very difficult. I was weak and dizzy, and found it hard to drive because I felt so disconnected from my car and the road. I stopped taking it two days ago and I'm feeling a lot better. It was a lot like smoking weed, but without any of the good parts. All that said, it did making peeing a lot easier. M 54 6 weeks
