| 1 | Kidney stones | Ejaculate was pretty much nothing than a clear oozing of pre-cum even though it felt like I needed to blow a major load. | After reading multiple reviews here & on other sites, I decided to discontinue the medicine. Waited about 3 days to jerk off and OMG ... I haven't shot a thick creamy load of cum across the room so far since I was 17. Then just kept cumming and cumming - felt like I blew 2 years worth in one session. Feel so good now, back in the groove. Harder, longer erections. Nighttime and morning wood. Simply awesome. Never going back on Tamsulosin again. | M | 53 | 2 years .4 mg 1X day | 7/17/2014 | 1 | Non-bacterial prostatitis | little to no ejaculate | After just one pill, imagine my suprise and horror when I was unable to produce more than a drop or two of semen the very next day. The only side effect my doctor mentioned was "dizzyness". Please, lets get real. Obviously from these reviews, retrograde ejaculation is a very common side effect and to not warn sexually active males of this borders on the criminal. I won't say the drug should be banned - I can see it perhaps with severe cases of BPH or a kidney stone, but NOT for mild to moderate cases of prostatitis. More irresponsible drug-pushing on the general public where the dollar is king. One pill and I'm done. | M | 1 days .4 mg 1X day | 7/9/2014 | 1 | Frequent urine | Urinating constantly | Not going to take this drug | M | 67 | 3 days 0.04 1X day | 7/3/2014 | 1 | Mainly night time urination. | Nightmares, talking in sleep, sleep apnoea, sexual disfunction, increased urination at night, not wanted, felt detached from reality, dry lips and roof of mouth, totally horrific experience especially in 6 weeks gained 21lbs. in weight. Only from consultant discovered wrongly prescribed, my prostrate is normal, over active bladder is the problem. Doctors, no different to car mechanics, good and bad, overall, dangerous. For me one awful drug, wrongly prescribed. | Cannot comment but no doubt good when the numpty doctors prescribe correctly. | M | 66 | 7 weeks 20 1X day | 6/8/2014 | 1 | kidney stone | AWFUL. I woke up after taking it feeling like I have the flu and my head is spinning all over the place. Plus nausea and no appetite. Don't take it. | M | 21 | 1 days | 4/22/2014 | 1 | enlaged prostate | no sperm coming out when masturbating | I take the Generic bran | M | 67 | 0.4 1X day | 1/20/2014 | 1 | had a catheter | Dry orgasms | M | 18 | 5 days 4 | 7/27/2013 | 1 | BPH and Interstitial cystitis | Dizzyness the next day, worst headache of my life, effected sinuses, and worst of all , I had no ejaculate at all. | This stuff is dangerous and should be banned. I will sufer with my problems I already have, why add to them. I just hope I can ejaculate again. | M | 43 | 1 days 1 1X day | 7/3/2013 | 1 | To help with urination | I was recovering from a heart attack when the nurse removed my cathater like she was going to lasso a bull. Two days later I started to have trouble urinating. Dizzyness Rash on stomach, arms and legs. Flomax stopped my urination twice within 2 hours of taking it and had to have a cathater inserted. Things were going fine the second time after I had the first cathater removed as I was advised to leave it in until all of the Cipro they put me on was gone. No problems urinating for 16 straight hours then two hours after taking it at night I was in the ER unable to urinate. Not taking anymore of it. | M | 60 | 1 weeks .4 | 6/9/2013 | 1 | EPH | Side effects: Throat, jaw, and gums irretations to terrible muscle spasms. | Dr. put me on this when I had a UTI and said I had a slightly enlarged Prostate 3.7 after being on flomax for 3 yrs and PSA at 4.8, I started to add things to my diet: 1 CENTRUM SILVER for men,1000mg pumpkin seed oil tabs 3x a day, pomergranate cap 1x a day, lycopene caps 1x a day, Just black Cherry juice (knudsen brand ) 4oz a day, 8 oz Cranberry juice daily, 8oz blueberry juice 8oz daily.After 3.5 years on Flomax I stopped completely but kept up with these caps and juices added to my diet and now One Year after stopping all FLOMAX my PSA decreased to 4.6. I still get the throat,jaw and gum irritations and spasms even though I have not had any FLOMAX in about a year..True story | M | 70 | 3.5 years .04mg 1X day | 6/7/2013 | 1 | BPH | No ejaculate, no erection, no libido, reduced pleasure with orgasm and a stuffy nose | This drug turned me into a eunuch for the 3 days I took it. It wasn't worth the moderate symptom improvement. | M | 56 | 3 days 0.4 mg 1X day | 4/7/2013 | 1 | Prostate | Feeling like passing out.rapid heart rate,intermittently | Need to research heart effects | M | 93 | 14 days 0.4mg 1X day | 1/22/2013 | 1 | prostatitis | loss of libido, difficulty getting erection, short erection duration, abnormal ejaculation | M | 47 | 3 months .4 mg/day | 10/3/2012 | 1 | Enlarged Prostrate | Besides the common problems listed by others, the following have been stressful: Panic attacks in situations that I previously coped well with. Also, waking at night with panic attack lasing 15-mins or so. Anxiety has led to drop in self-confidence. Also find nose bleeds and subsequent sores in nasal passages are a nuisance. | Is it worth actually taking this medication? The side effects seem worse that what it is supposed to cure. I am going to stop and see how I get on without it. | M | 49 | 1 years 400mg 1X day | 9/22/2012 | 1 | to improve urine flow | CATARACTS!! Extreme fatigue, headaches, nausea, pelvic discomfort, general malaise. | Not sure if the medication, the physician, or myself (for being so damn compliant) was the worse part of this experience. The urologist insisted Flomax would improve my urine flow that had been severely decreased by nerve damage from MS and Spondylitis. Eventually, some of the side effects subsided to a tolerable level but six months in to treatment my Opthamologist discovered very, very small cataracts forming. Not uncommon for my age and was told I had many years before we needed to worry about it. Fast forward 5 1/2 months and I was referred to an eye surgeon. He was the one wbo told me about cataract formation being a huge side effect of Flomax but it is regularly down played by some physicians. Even though I am back to square one and $10,000 poorer there is always a silver lining. My once very poor eyesight is now 20/20! | F | 1 years 1X day | 9/21/2012 | 1 | BPH | This was the nightmare for an sexually active male. Worst was taking after onset of cold and then getting stuffed on air flight home Insomnia actually related to masturbating for 4 hours without the whimper of orgasm No sex drive at all despite attempts at Internet videos. Most scientific attempt was inability of Asian semiprofessional masturbation to yield a drop despite coexistent deep hummingbird like prostate stimulation. (pulseless while giving young Asian cardio workout- even more perplexed about what to tip) Rather deal with post void dribbling than Simultaneous head clamping,equivalent to mailing your sex organ out of earth's atmosphere. Should be must for convicted sex offenders. Other than that a great drug. | M | 53 | 1 days .4 mg | 9/17/2012 | 1 | prostate infection | Lower back pain, impotence, no ejaculation, dizziness, tireness, would need sleep during day, exhaustion, after a short walk legs felt heavy and felt I could not make it back | This drug should be taken off the market. Even though I explained the symptons to my urologist, he asked if I was over 60 and asked me what I expected at my age. I really thought my life was over. After stopping for 2 weeks symptons went away. Have my life back!! Have been having some withdrawals such as headache, nervousness, sleeplessness but worth it. | M | 68 | 12 months 30 1X day | 8/17/2012 | 1 | 7mm kidney stone | use it for passing 7mm kidney stone, the first three days were ok and stopped for 3 days. dr asked me to continue and use it again for 6 days. my nose is totally blocked and cannot sleep at all! Felt like a flu, fatigue, soar throat and even buring chest. Do not use it more than 3 days! And the stone has not passed after four weeks! | M | 32 | 6 days 40mg 1X day | 7/6/2012 | 1 | Possible kidney stones | Younger Guys and older men. Donot take these meds unless u really have to. Side effects are out of line!!!! Seriously. Took generic form of flomax third day. No semen!!! I frieked the fuck out. My nose was stuffy me thinking I was catching a cold in the middle of summer. Depression was another side effect. I would sleep 11 hours and would feel like shit all day. Guys the worse was the orgasm w/o semen really messed with my mind. Stop | M | 25 | 3 days 0.4 | 6/26/2012 | 1 | Kidney stones | dizziness, headache, nauseated, retrograde orgasm, fatigue, depression, anxiety, loss of appetite, lower back pain, constipation. | Got this from my urologist as a help to pass a kidney stone.(10mm) I tried it for two weeks but it had changed me in a constipated, anxious, nauseated zombie with a horrible headache... I quit yesterday and I am slowly becoming my old self again. Oddly enough the side effects became worse the longer I took this drug; usually it's the other way around. PS: the stone hasn't passed. | M | 58 | 14 days 0.4 mg 1X day | 6/20/2012 |
