| 3 | Inability to achieve orgasm | Due to sexual side effects, I stopped taking it after less than a month. My bladder was only waking me up once a night anyway...:) | M | 50 | 3 weeks | 1/14/2003 | 2 | Enlarged Prostate | I have only taken this medication for one day and will not take it again. Only slept two hours and woke with really bad nasal congestion. I suppose if I took it longer my body may adjust but it also may not. | M | 73 | 1 days .4 1X day | 11/6/2023 | 2 | BHP | Fatigue, Retrograde Ejaculation, loss of sex drive, lack of stamina, shortness of breath (sometimes), brain fog | Took myself off of it. Have been off now three days ... mind is starting to clear, a little more energy. It did help with the urinary issues ... but after three days of not taking it .... problems have not returned. I have a visit scheduled with a new urologist. | M | 60 | 3 months .4 mg 1X day | 3/28/2022 | 2 | Frequency | Been on Betmiga 50 mg for 2 weeks, started Flomax as well 4 days ago. Since 4 days ago have had dizziness, very sore throat and total loss of appetite. The frequency has dropped a little but still going 10 times a night. | Had cystoscopy 7 days ago , follow up from Bladder Cancer May 2016. Had OAB for 20 years but learnt to live with it, however last Month went from 2-3 times a night to 10-15 times urinating. Worried that cancer may have returned but cystoscopy was clear with only a couple of red patches on bladder wall , no tumours. Im wondering how long before Flomax kicks in . | M | 72 | 4 days 5mg 1X day | 3/15/2022 | 2 | BHP | upper jaw pain on both sides. | M | 75 | 2 days 5 1X day | 12/10/2021 | 2 | Frequent night time urination | headache, crazy dreams, persistent erection, low ejaculation. | Would rather take this then viagra. Did not help with BPH | M | 67 | 2 days . 04 1X day | 8/30/2021 | 2 | Insomnia, i.e. bad sleep with weird thoughts like you have when you're getting the flu. | Increased urine flow somewhat but I'm still getting up at night to pee | M | 70 | 5 days 0.4 mg 1X day | 7/27/2020 | 2 | Kidney stone | Retrograde ejaculation | I used tamsulosin (Flomax) to aid in passing kidney stone fragments following shock wave lithotripsy. The medication relaxed the bladder neck muscle and prostate to allow the stone fragments to pass. However, this caused retrograde ejaculation. The relaxed muscles allowed seminal fluid to flow backward into the bladder. There were no forceful involuntary muscle contractions and no pleasurable fluid release from the penis, although I did have the instinctive urge to flex my hips like a normal ejaculation. I felt no discomfort when seminal fluid flowed into the bladder, just a feeling of fullness that was relieved later during urination. Overall, sexual satisfaction was diminished by 50%. No issues maintaining a firm erection, responding to stimulation but because I did not have the physical relief of expelling seminal fluid from my body, I felt frustrated at the end of sexual activity. | M | 50 | 7 days 0.4 mg 1X day | 7/16/2020 | 2 | Bph | Helped a little to urinate no sex drive hard to climax very little semen on last 3 days suffered with swollen right testicle and lots of pain hope I get libido back will not take this no more | Too many side effects have enough with dealing with bph issues don t need any more problems with health | M | 61 | 14 days 0.4 1X day | 12/26/2019 | 2 | bph & urinary problems | Began taking Flomax 4 months ago for BPH, urinary urgency, incontinence and frequency. Within 1 week noticed significant leg fatigue and weakness (especially with work outs) and retrograde ejaculation. Approximately 2 weeks after the onset of very weak erections and loss of libido. At this point I'm finding it almost impossible to get even a semi-soft erection if any. I went off this med approximately 3 weeks ago and still no improvement with the ED. I am a very healthy 64 y.o. male and very fit. Prior to this I NEVER had any difficulties achieving a strong, long lasting erection and lways had a strong libido. Wondering if taking this medication has caused some permanent damage. Extremely frustrated and humiliated. Be careful with this stuff!! | Taking chances if you're sexually active and over 60. | M | 64 | 4 months .4 1X day | 8/4/2017 Patient History | 2 | Kidney stones | I had to stop as the worsening of my vision, fatigue, light headiness, dizzy and head aches got to be to much. | M | 53 | 3 days 0.4 1X day | 5/27/2017 | 2 | Poor urinary flow | Extreme dizziness when getting up from recumbent or sitting position. Tiredness. Poor sexual performance. | These are troublesome and probably dangerous effects as a fall could result. Capsules cannot be split to reduce the dose. Wonder if anyone has tried an every other day, or every third day dosage scheme. Will have to discontinue the medication unless I find a way to deal with these pesky side effects. Ask you doctor if this medicine is right for you? Not really. The doctor really does not know except what the pharma rep tells him. I'd rather ask a real expert, that is a patient. | M | 78 | 21 days 0.4 mg 1X day | 12/20/2016 | 2 | Kidney Stone Passing | Dizziness, nauseous, pain in bladder area (wasn't as severe when not on Flomax). Just read up top where they said there is no medical benefits to using Flomax for kidney stones as of May 2015. Doctors need to stay on top of medicine research and stop catering to pharmaceutical companies. | F | 44 | 3 days 30 MG | 10/22/2016 | 2 | Post lithotripsy | Extreme light-headedness, nausea, tiredness, weird dreams | I took one pill when I came home from getting my kidney stone blasted to help clear out the fragments. It does make the urine come out faster, but I had weird, scary dreams all night and woke up with a big headache. I couldn't stand up long enough to wash my hands after using the bathroom because I felt like I would pass out. I later went into the bathroom, Sat down, and took an Advil, an Excedrin, and two Pseudafed and I felt somewhat better a hour or so later. I'm not going to take any more. I'm supposed to be active to help clear the fragments out but can't do that while on Flomax. | F | 49 | 1 days 0.4 mg | 8/25/2016 | 2 | Weak stream | Extreme pain in teeth and jaw, right side, upper and lower. | Worked to increase flow but the teeth and jaw pain is way too severe. Have to quit taking it as of today. | M | 65 | 7 days 0.4 MG 1X day | 5/27/2016 | 2 | Possible kidney stones | upper jaw pain right side neck and muscle pain , malaise and dizziness, extreme dry and scratchy eyes , not wort it for me, good bye FLOMAX | M | 57 | 1 days 4 1X day | 5/21/2016 | 2 | Kidney dtone | Stuffy nose. Tooth pain upper right. | Taking generic | F | 66 | 1 days 0.4mg | 2/11/2016 | 2 | Bph | Stuffy nose dizziness retrograde ejaculation tried every other day to control that but then kidneys would hurt. Much easier to P | This is the third time I've started and stopped in the last six years same conclusion each time within the first week Not for me | M | 53 | 1 weeks 0.4 | 1/27/2016 | 2 | bph | After a few days I started getting headaches which stopped after discontinuing medication. It did increase my urine flow rate . I tried on and off a few times but the headaches always reappeared | It looks like when it works for some people nicely, definitely not for me though | M | 56 | 30 days .4mg 1X day | 1/25/2016 | 2 | Enlarged. Prostrate | 1 days | 1/22/2016 |
