| 5 | BPH | LIGHT HEADED FOR A VERY BRIEF PERIOD. KEEPS MY BP IN THE NORMAL RANGE! | IT HAS WORKED EXCELLENTLY FOR ME. FROM 3-4 'TRIPS' PER NIGHT TO JUST ONE AND SOMETIMES NONE. LOST SOME EFFECTIVENESS OVER TIME AND NOW USE AVODART AS WELL. GOOD RESULTS! | M | 68 | 12 years | 9/1/2007 | 4 | bph | Too high of a dosage - Weakness, lethargy, shoulder pain when bike riding, very tired after exercising | As I stepped up thro 1mg, 2mg, 5mg, 10mg, urination kept improving. My regular prescription was thus 10 mg. After three months I realized all of the side effects were caused by too low bp (I had normal bp before meds). I am now at 3 mg. Urination is still pretty good (but not as good as 10)as I am only getting up once a night vs. 3 or 4 times. However, I feel like my old self -- energetic and pain free. I may move up to 4 mg. You need to carefully take the time to balance dosage vs low blood pressure. For me, I need about two weeks at a particular dosage to fully understand a side effect vs. just a bad day. | M | 68 | 7 months | 8/8/2007 | 4 | post brachytherapy - flow/urgency | Initially, none other than very positive effects of increasing urine stream, improving volume, decreasing urgency. On physician's recommendation, I increased dose and experienced considerable dizziness. Reduced dose, added 4x/day Aleve (c.) to help limit inflammation AND things seem fine! | Following brachytherapy (radioactive seed implants within cancerous prostate) the prostate gland (predictably) enlarges, pressing up against the bladder and constricts the urethra. You get all sorts of urinary symptoms. I couldn't tolerate the drug of choice for this - Flomax (racing heart, extreme dizziness) and Hytrin suggested as replacement. So far - results seem good! | M | 53 | 10 days | 6/22/2007 | 4 | Enlarged Prostate | None | It definately helps urine flow. If I miss a dose, I can tell the difference. | M | 64 | 2 years | 6/14/2007 | 1 | enlarged prostate | after a few months i had sever lower adominal pain. i could quit taking it and pain would go away. prostrate also would enlarge. | M | 66 | 6 months | 5/9/2007 | 4 | Decreased urine flow; hypertension | Initial dizziness, but none now | Has been a very effective med for me | M | 53 | 4 months | 2/4/2007 | 4 | prostate | Only thing I've found that helps urination. Can't tell of any side effects yet. Been on Hytrin about 6 months. Dosage 4 mg per day. | M | 66 | 6 months | 5/10/2005 | 3 | hypertension | some light headedness at first but that went away after about 2 weeks. | its working. | M | 43 | 7 years | 10/19/2004 | 3 | to improve urine void rate | posturial dizziness | Benefit after a few weeks seemed to atrophy gradually back to slow (and incomplete) voiding again. With each increase of dosage, the pattern seemed to repeat itself although not as quickly as before. Conclusion? Not-so-good with, but worse without! | M | 68 | 10 years | 2/23/2004 | 4 | Enlarged Prostate--BPH | At 5 mg, blood pressure was lowered to the extent that I fainted. My Physician reduced dosage--after trial and error --to 4 mg per day. I have reached an equilibrium where blood pressure is low but not to low and BPH symptoms are acceptable. | M | 66 | | 12/29/2000 |
