| 3 | Passing Kidney Stones | Fatigue, Dizziness, stuffy nose in the morning, decreased ejaculation, increased bladder pain during urination which could also be caused by the stone itself; unsure until speaking to a urologist. | As far as increasing my ability to urinate which is it's main reason it is prescribed to kidney stone patients this drug works, however the side effects were a little too much for me personally. | M | 31 | 3 days | 1/9/2006 | 3 | enlarged prostate | When I used to take a tablet a day, I had huge difficulty in maintaining an erection, even during intercourse. This difficulty disappeared 48 hours after I stopped taking the pills. | Flomax is very good at increasing urine flow but very bad in terms of interfering with your sex life. Taking these tablets is therefore a balancing act: taking one every three or four days is a reasonable compromise. Eating pumpkin seeds is a good additonal way of decreasing prostate size and improving urine flow. | M | 60 | 4 years | 12/23/2005 | 3 | BPH | nasal stuffiness pronounced, back pain | M | 70 | 2 years | 10/24/2005 | 3 | BPH | Initially retrograde Ejaculation, but that was only for first few days. (been taking for 18 mos). Perhaps some diminished semen ejaculate. | Effectiveness may be diminishing somewhat. Urologist recommended that I go to .8MG - up from .4mg. Wondering what experience others have had with it. | M | 54 | 18 months | 10/13/2005 | 3 | Enlarged Prostate | After taking for two weeks, no ejaculate at all. Sensation of orgasm is somewhat diminished, same with libido, which doesn't bother my wife at all. | Greatly increased urine flow, which used to be a real problem. Will continue to take unless the sex drive thing worsens. It was good to read the other comments as my Dr. said my symtoms were rare. However, they apparently aren't. | M | 57 | 2 weeks | 10/12/2005 | 3 | M | 67 | 3 years | 10/7/2005 | 3 | BPH | Intermittent headaches, sex problems/ejaculation, back pain, intermittent nasal congestion. | Did what it supposed to, helped flow, but didn't care for the side effects, so doctor gave me Uroxatral to try. | M | 50 | 2 weeks | 9/22/2005 | 3 | bph | dizziness in early years; lowered sex drive | It has reduced frequent urination, but I'm sure that I'm not voiding completely. | M | 63 | 4 years | 9/4/2005 | 3 | Enlarged Prostrate | The first was a constant runny nose, then Retro Grade ejaculation with no feeling at climax, now the dizziness when bending over or getting up from a sitting position are almost de-habilitating. Constipation now has to be treated with a nightly dose of Glycolax powder. I am also on Zocor, Plavix, Toprol XL And one baby asprin. | The first week this medication did help some.(1 .4 gm capsule) Now I still get up 3 times a night. This is because you have to take the medication before going to bed with a full glass of water. I am going to try to go back to Saw Palmetto | M | 62 | 4 months | 7/25/2005 | 3 | enlarged prostate | no sperm in ejaculation | M | 53 | 60 days | 7/16/2005 | 3 | | 6/26/2005 | 3 | BPH | Weakness, loss of energy, some vision problems, small ejaculate, reduced libido. | It has definitely helped. I can go to ball games and car trips. However I usually need to sit down to void more completely. | M | 54 | 1 years | 6/21/2005 | 3 | Aid in the Passing of Kidney Stones | No ejaculation, slight dizziness (especially before noon), significant nasal congestion, minor insomnia, and headaches. | Have been taking drug for 2 weeks (.4MG to begin with, now .8MG daily). Have experienced some pain and bladder spasms due to movement of kidney stone, especially after increasing dosage to .8MG. Stone has yet to pass into the bladder, and will not know how much it has moved until next X-ray. | M | 38 | | 6/17/2005 | 3 | benign prostate enlargement | stuffy nose; diminished sex drive;lack of ejaculation | urine flow increased greatly, yet still up 2 to 3 times per night; will try saw palmetto again, although physician thinks I should accept side effects and stay on this drug | M | 72 | 35 days | 6/10/2005 | 3 | Unable to empty bladder/frequency | I am not sure of what all side effects might be. I have experienced ejaculation issues at times. Have had mid morning and mid afternoon drowsiness and think it might be related to Flomax. | Flomax has been effective in improving my urination problem. After first year, the effects began to diminish and I went to a second dose daily. and the improvement was immediate. | M | 54 | 3 years | 5/17/2005 | 3 | BPH | Drowsiness 3 or 4 hours after I take pill. Loss of energy! Some depression. | I want to thank this website for making me alert to these side effects. I now take Flomax, right before I go to bed, and I think everyone should, I was wondering why I got tired and drowsy 3 or 4 hours after I took the Flowmax. I have been also taking B-12, but wasn't geting the energy, and my mind was slippying, However since I have changed the time when I take the Flomax, I have got back my energy, and my mind is getting sharper than ever. What I can recommend is Take Flomax before you go to bed! I just can't believe the change in me since I switched the time I take it. I feel like 10 years younger. To bad that Drug company can't figure that out! | M | 70 | 4 days | 5/2/2005 | 3 | prostitus-BPH | Weaken sex feeling, some tiredness, weaken flow in the morning. | I find when I take 100% Cherry juice,(Kudsen brand) It makes my flow stronger, and prevents any infection in the urinary tract. When they first gave me a PSA test, it read 7.4, and they wanted to take a Biopsey, I said to revaluate me in two weeks, In that two weeks I had about seven quarts of Cherry Juice, when i went back and took the test, it read 3.4. Some how Cherry juice, prevents uric acid buildup in the urinary track, and they now are finding out That the Perillyl alcohol, which is in the skin of the Cherry, destroys the proteins that the cancer lives on. I find that the Cherry juice with the Flowmax work well together... I also take Vitamin B-12 & folic Acid. B-12 for the nerves, and mind,as when you get older, the myelin sheaths,(coating around nerves) dry out and deteriate, one of the causes of multiple sclerosis & Alzheimer's disease & ALS. B-12 lubricates the Myelin Sheaths, also carrys more oxygen to the blood. I take 1000mcg Time Release B-12 as the time release will metablize in the intestinal track and not the stomach, as the hydrocloric acid in the stomach will destroy the B-12, because B-12 is 5% Cobalt, and acids attack heavey metals. I take Folic Acid for the Heart, they say that if more men would take folic acid acid it would prevent 40% of heart attacks in men. | M | 70 | 4 years | 5/1/2005 | 3 | Decreased urine flow pressure | no ejaculate upon orgasm experienced. However, with the help of some porn and sexual tension build up, ejaculation was successful but color of ejaculate was more clear than milky. | M | 46 | 10 days | 4/25/2005 | 3 | Slight backpain and abnormal ejaculation (little to no sperm). After skipping 2 or 3 doses had major sperm dispensed first time. Seemed like a release of collection from previous leak ejaculations. | M | 57 | 30 days | 2/24/2005 | 3 | Urinary retention | Retrograde ejaculation | Seems to work, but the no-jaculation was too weird. | M | 37 | 3 days | 2/23/2005 |
