| 2 | incontinence/urgency/frequency | None | F | 27 | 60 days | 7/26/2004 | 2 | Urination very, very slow. | No ejaculate. Possibly a stuffy nose. Less money in bank. | It hasn't helped my urination flow problem any that I can tell. This is second time I've tried it, at my doctor's advice. When I stopped taking it about a year ago, ejaculate came back. When I started on it about about three weeks ago, ejaculate stopped again . . . goes into bladder I guess. I can't see that it helps me at all but will continue test and sonograms to see if bladder empties better. | M | 66 | 21 days | 6/25/2004 | 2 | slow and incomplete voiding | Dizziness and virtual absence of ejaculate,weakened orgasms. | The side effects have discouraged my use.May try again. | M | 47 | 5 days | 6/18/2004 | 2 | Weak stream, interrupted toward end | As I was on other medications as well, I cannot be sure. | Prescribed for a weak stream with interruped voiding toward end, dribbling. Awaken once or less per night to urinate. FloMax did not seem to have any effect at all. No change while taking two per day. | M | 52 | 30 days | 6/17/2004 | 2 | enlarged prostate | Diminished ejaculation, general malaise, stuffy nose, constipation (!) (the last apparently an uncommon but sometimes noted side effect) | Provided some relief from frequent urination urges, but the side effects are as pronounced and unpleasant as I have experienced with any prescription medication, with no diminishment in these reactions after two weeks. | M | 52 | 14 days | 12/9/2002 | 2 | benign prostate hypertrophy | Restless sleep, disrupted sexual function (climax's not as pleasurable), weak feeling when standing up and saw stars(not literally) during the first few days of medication. Searched the net and coudn't find any long term side effects but this drug seems very strong for just being an alpha blocker at .4 mg dose. | This medication worked well to help the strength of my urination stream but I work for a living and can't go around tired all day from a lack of sleep, so I had to discontinue the flomax. | M | 7 days | 10/24/2002 | 1 | Unable to empty bladder | Complete loss of sex drive with inability to get an errection with retrograde ejaculation. TMJ pain, blurry vision, tooth pain with facial pain, lumbar pain with hip pain. Insomnia, irritability. Unable to think with high anxiety. Makes your body weak affecting large muscle groups. Hand pain, generalized depression | Too many negative things to include | M | 64 | 30 days .4 1X day | 9/10/2023 | 1 | Retention urine,blood in bladde | Have bleeding in bladder, the clot worms are sometimes 2 and 3 inchs long,and plug a catheter, cath has to be removed wash clot out reinsert, repete this until bladder clear and empty pf urine, flomax softens clots,cause’s a jelly,blocking mass, which. must be removed prior to starting irreregation of the bladder, man in Italy, died from over irregation bladder liner seprated from bladder, SIGN’S OF BLEEDING DON’T TAKE FLOMAX | FLOMAX is a dangous drug should only be prescribed by competent urologist. As I found out the hard way, not all Doctors are smsrt enough to prescribe FLOMAX | M | 86 | 7 days .047 1X day | 8/17/2023 | 1 | kidney stone | Headache, dizziness and then severe jaw pain that started about 12 hours later and escalated. Strange side effect and only did a search because if not the med I was concerned I might have a separate medical issue that required attention. | F | 54 | 1 days .4MG 1X day | 7/17/2023 | 1 | Kidney stones | Headache, body aches, tooth/ jaw pain, leg aches, insomnia, dizziness and feeling extremely tired. | I would not recommend this to anyone unless you don't mind all the awful side effects. | M | 41 | 5 days 1X day | 6/5/2023 | 1 | Prostrate | Dizziness. Lethargy. Nausea. | Not sure about this drug. It does increase urine flow but the side-effects are getting intolerable. I thought maybe they would go away if I just kept taking it but that appears to be unlikely. | M | 49 | 45 days .4 x D 1X day | 5/22/2023 | 1 | BPH with urine retention | Flomax works by relaxing the pelvic floor muscles which makes urination easier. At first it worked almost like Viagra due to the increase in blood flow. However, as time passed, severe nasal congestion, back pain, neck, pain, face, pain, tooth, pain, hand pain, along with foot, pain and muscle spasms and muscle aches throughout the whole body. Also severe disorientation along with dizziness and weakness in large muscle groups. Insomnia, along with anxiety. | Terrible drug it does make it easier to urinate but the side effects outweigh the medication | M | 64 | 90 days .4 1X day | 4/27/2023 | 1 | As a precaution- knee replacement | Face blew up, throat closed. Went to urgent care and got steroid shot & script. Back pain constantly. Tiredness. Like an anaphylactic reaction. After, skin just broke. Much care to face. A real horror show. Had shades of weird lockjaw too. | I play BBall 3 days a week and PBall 6 days/week. Pretty healthy old guy. Thought my back hurt from sports. Nope! Went away after ceasing taking this poison. Use Kai Kit pills (Chinese herb mixture). Far superior and safe. Gonna take a while to chase out of my system. Approaching normalcy. Finally getting back to looking like me instead of the elephant man. Played both basketball & Pickleball yesterday. First day back. I figure the cardio will accelerate healing. Always does. Had sex today wife my wife and all is well in that Dept. Gonna try to convince her to go for it again under the premise of "medical reasons", but I do't think she'll buy that story. | M | 68 | .4 mg 1X day | 4/1/2023 | 1 | BPH | lethargy, depression | I did not notice much of a positive effect. It made me so tired, disinterested, and sad that I stopped taking it. Negative effects cleared in 2 days. | M | 66 | 1 months 1X day | 3/8/2023 | 1 | BPH | I had felt extremely tired since I started flomax. I thought something was really wrong with me. Painful ejaculations. It did significantly increase urine flow. After being off flowmax for several days, I started feeling much better. I'll be going to a urologist soon. Hopefully there's a better fix. | M | 60 | 3 weeks 1X day | 3/5/2023 | 1 | Enlarged prostate | Hypotensive crisis | Had to be taken by ambulance to ER | 69 | 1 days ? 1X day | 2/25/2023 | 1 | Kidney stones weak flow enlarged pr | Initially improved flow slightly.
