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)

I'm also on lipitor, attenelol, Benicar, Effexor too. Getting, maintaining an erection was hard enough to do. A blank shot is really a downer!!! Other WORKING ideas guys???? M 57 270 days

 3  weak urine flow,emptying out poorly EXTREME sleepiness, increase in bowel activity, sexual performance and orgasm negatively impacted, probably contributes to (prexisting) depression and vision fuzziness. Have enjoyed generally good health. Started Flomax 0.4 mg. daily about 2 years ago with no other oral meds. almost immediate improvement in flow and some reduction in night urination.No side effects noted for months. Several months ago started noticing drowsiness, which has increased to extreme levels with Occasional dizziness. Quit taking today. Life quality sleeping 12-15 hours a day has gone into the ditch.
