| 4 | Prostate | Premajure ejaculation | Hi I am Paul i am 68 and otherwise in good health but looking for information on how to buy generic flomax online | M | 68 | 6 months 100mg 1X day | 8/5/2015 | 4 | BPH | You really have to give this drug some time. I saw little to no effect except for dry orgasms until I hit the 90 day mark and my dose was doubled to 2x per day. I've gone from peeing 5 times a night to twice. | You can time your dosage to combat the dry orgasm thing. If you think you might have sex, hold off taking it until after you cum. If that doesnt work, try skipping a dose the day before you think you will have sex. The other thing is the orgasms. Holy God!! The time between the point of inevitability and the first spurt is longer and is more deeply pleasurable than anything I've ever experienced. | M | 120 days .4 2X day | 7/6/2015 | 4 | kidney stone | Dizziness upon standing. | It did increase my Urine flow. Also made fritz "poofy". Wasn't expecting that. | M | 53 | 10 days | 5/27/2015 | 4 | Urinary retention, weak flow | Headache, dizziness, dry mouth, feeling like I can't breathe, fatigue, general malaise feeling. It has dramatically improved my flow and ability to empty my bladder. I do not like the way I feel on this medicine, but the alternative is not being able to start my flow and/or urinate at all. I am going to try not taking it and maybe going to every other day and see if that lessens my symptoms. I do like being able to pee without a issue though. | F | 39 | 6 days .4mg | 10/23/2014 | 4 | Overactive bladder, urine retention | Retrograde ejaculation (as soon as I started taking it), and leg muscle weakness and pain (intensifying slowly over a period of months). | Should discontinue when no longer needed, for example (as in my case) for as long as androgen deprivation therapy is still effective at restricting prostate volume. | M | 62 | 1 years 400 mg 1X day | 5/12/2014 | 4 | Possible kidney stones | It opens up flow of urine. Pee like a racehorse. Not kidding. | F | 33 | 1 days 8mg | 3/14/2012 | 4 | kidney stones | taking average dose, feel very run down and under the weather but kidney stones at to that. im aged 17 and had these last year at 16 both times taking this is has stopped me ejaculating (retroejaculation) | M | 17 | 14 days not sure 1X day | 1/23/2012 | 4 | BPH | Now taking Flomax (generic) every other day, alternating with lisinopril (both lower blood pressure). My BP is fine with this mix, as is my doctor. Since reducing the dosage of the Flomax this way, I still benefit from a better ability to empty my bladder. As to the side effect of dry or reduced ejaculation amounts, I now ejaculate a normal amount, although it flows more than spurts. Another change is that after taking the flomax (about 4-10 hours), my erections tend to be very strong - almost like with Viagra. And my nocturnal erections are much more active. Usually getting up and urinating makes the erection subside, but if not, masturbation takes care of it. All in all, I would say that if you take an ACE inhibitor like lisinopril and need Flomax for BPH, try alternating them. This has worked well for me in keeping my blood pressure in check and eliminating any erectile dysfunction problems from Flomax. | M | 59 | 3 years .4 1X O | 1/7/2012 Patient History | 4 | For enlarged prostrate | Nasal Congestion resulting blocked nose | For seven months I did not experience the problem and benefitted by the use. Last month I developed cold and after that nasal congestion continues. I find that If I stop the drug I find relief. | M | 63 | 8 months 0.2mg 1X day | 5/13/2011 | 4 | BPH | Decreased volume of semen; less intense ejaculation | Resolved my problem of not being able to completely empty my bladder, therefore needing to go more frequently; If I don't drink a lot late at night, I can sleep 7-8 hours without getting up. | M | 54 | 4 years .4 mg caps 1X day | 2/18/2011 | 4 | Pee every hour at night | Only side effects are weakness and the semen vanishing act. | Had to pee every hour at night. Pee would only dribble and not completely empty. First Flomax pill(generic)peed like a racehorse. Now peeing every 3 hours at night. Getting better sleep. Don't know if weakness is from statin I just started taking or flomax or both. Also taking blood pressure lowering med. Feel beat up. | M | 60 | 3 days 1X day | 11/9/2010 | 4 | constant need to urinate | nasal congestion, reverse ejaculation | i agree with comment about Ambian - that used to stop me from having to go at night. I took 1 flomax and within 8 hours i have reverse ejaculation and had to pee all day. but now i am good. I am not going to take any more flomax and see how long it takes me to get back to normal | M | 54 | 1 days 1X day | 11/8/2010 | 4 | weak urinary flow | sinus congestion, orgasm without ejaculation, tiredness, weakness---I dropped 50 bench press pounds at the gym. | I'm fairly young to be on Flomax, but I experienced relief after only a couple of days. My uro hesitated to put me on it b/c of side effects. He even asked if my wife and I were trying to get pregnant. We're not, so that's no issue. Still, I haven't had a normal ejaculation in almost a year. I get to the familar point, but nothing comes out. I get a mental release, but no physical sensation. I'm planning to go off the drug for a trial period to experience a real orgasm. Taking Flomax is a trade off I will make for now, but long-term I'm not sure. | M | 31 | 12 months .8mg 1X day | 6/1/2010 | 4 | BPH, urine retention | Dizziness, especially when exercising. Low ejaculate volume | Huge immediate improvement in comfort as measured by frequency of urination and improved flow. Did not impact urine retention, as measured by ultrasound tests at urologist's office. | M | 63 | 6 months 1X day | 3/6/2010 | 4 | Weak Urine Stream, Enlarge Prostate | 45- Male here. 1 pill per day of Flomax does what it is supposed to due. No Negative side effects, and I suffer from Chronic Pain and Panic Attack Syndromes. No more embarrassment in public restrooms taking 10 minutes to go while others wait. Finally I can Pee without taking forever, and no more thinking I have to go and nothing happening!! I THOUGHT I had E.D, but Flomax HELPED me Sexually. Are there any other men such as me that had am IMPROVED sex life after taking Flomax? I feel I am alone in the world! Note: I suffered minor E.D. due to a "penile-fracture" (laugh, everyone else does, google it!)- Something in Flomax allows me to funtion when I failed in the past. I feel doctors need to know about people like me, it may have something to do with "penile-fracture" resulting in E.D. (did not go to hospital, it healed with no medical surgery- scar tissue no doubt is present)- I also am a long term kidney stone sufferer, and this stuff seems to speed up t | I may be the only guy in the world that gets a side effect not unlike Viagra! Other men complain while my minor E.D. is gone!. Doctors please take note. Maybe more studies need to be done on men that suffered E.D. from scar tissue from "penile-fractures" that were untreated due to ignorance of how severe such an accident was. I'm here to say that NOT all men have negative sexual side effects from Flomax, in my case it helped my sex life. | M | 45 | 30 days .04 - 1 cp 1X day | 2/12/2010 | 4 | Kidney Stone | sinus congestion, retrograde ejaculation, tiredness | Flomax did help the discomfort from the kidney stone. I was eventually able to pass it after several days on Flomax. The retrograde ejaculation was a surprise-even knowing it was a possibility. Orgasms felt almost the same, though it was odd to see nothing come out. This side effect disappeared a couple of days after stopping the drug. Almost as annoying was a constant feeling of sinus congestion which made sleeping difficult. | M | 35 | 14 days | 12/18/2009 | 4 | BPH | Retro ejaculation, also painfull, also had sysdoscopy. some ed and painful orgasm for first 5,6 weeks. Then I take flomax 4pm after sex, then no sexual side effects. This really works! I also take 2 pumpkin seed oil capsules 1000mg daily first month then 1 daily second month thereafter. One year later urologist says my prostate has shrunk in size. It really works for me! | Sperm is back after a few months and painful orgasm is gone. Near normal sex a little prolonged ()15 to 20 minutes... but is really fantastic! After you get thru first couple of months then...near normal or better.I take cranberry/pomeranate 100% juice daily...I have been for i year!Urinatation very normal. | M | 66 | 1 years | 11/2/2009 | 4 | bph | dizziness upon standing | M | 44 | 8 months | 4/10/2009 | 4 | urinary / prostate problems | breathlessness upon exertion, intermittent pain above left eye, intermittent runny nose, vivid and sometimes colorful disturbing dreams, occasional mental confusion and loss of initiative and worse of all weight gain (totally out of character for me all my life) which has occurred very rapidly over the last two weeks after being on flomax for 4 months | Urination became such a problem for me I was releived to have FloMax and yes the side effects are bad especially the breathlessness on exertion but as far as I know there isn't an alternative and I would certainly hesistate to try another med or treatment and risk the full bladder pain and discomforts I knew before. I only hope it continues to keep the flow going until the coming day of my surgery for a cancerous prostate removal. | M | 61 | 4 months | 3/9/2009 | 4 | Frequent night time urination | None | M | 77 | 4 years | 10/19/2008 |
