| 5 | Bph | Lightheadness , dry ejaculation, diaria, dizziness when arising,constant running nose. | It was very helpful on my onset of Bph. But now thinking of giving up drug. | M | 74 | 10 years .4mg 1X day | 2/1/2014 | 1 | enlaged prostate | no sperm coming out when masturbating | I take the Generic bran | M | 67 | 0.4 1X day | 1/20/2014 | 5 | BPH | None | Worked well at first but continued prostate growth has made it ineffective | M | 54 | 2 years .8mg 1X day | 12/26/2013 | 3 | BPH | 1X day | 9/7/2013 | 3 | Passed a kidney stone | Light sensitivity, which causes a slight headache when outside in the sun each day. Sharp throbbing pain from chest up through left and right side of my neck to the lower back of my neck each day. Increased orgasm sensitivity each day, which was a plus. Finally, I am urinating more often, but I never had a problem urinating to begin with. | M | 29 | 7 days 40 MG | 8/30/2013 | 3 | BPH | Dizziness upon standing, frequent, bothersome nocturnal erections, possibly lower back pain. | Flomax helps me empty my bladder more completely, reducing the frequency with which I need to urinate. One would assume this would help with sleeping longer. But in my case, I am awakened frequently by very strong erections. To get rid of them, I have to get up and urinate. When that fails, masturbation is the only solution to alleviating the erection and getting back to sleep. I do not experience this as often when I am not taking Flomax. Seems like I'm not going to get a full night's sleep with or without Flomax. Has anyone else had this experience? | M | 61 | 4 years .4 mg 1X O | 8/17/2013 | 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 | 3 | PBS | Reduced semen, stuffy nose | M | 42 | 2 years 20 1X day | 5/17/2013 | 3 | stone | tight scrotum, burning sensations while ejaculation, dizziness, low libido, som back pain, | i had all these symptoms and have been very worried that is there any permanent sexual side effect there? but guys what i have experienced is, side effects are bad but they go after 5-10 days of quitting the drug, and you become normal. | M | 32 | 2 days 0.4 mg 1X day | 4/19/2013 | 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 | 2 | PROSTRATE CANCER | At 4 am i wake and i hve to pee everywaking hour, i also feel chills fever like symptoms, weak , I will continue taking , but i,not going 3 months out | M | 60 | 7 days 5MG 2X day | 12/27/2012 | 1 | prostatitis | loss of libido, difficulty getting erection, short erection duration, abnormal ejaculation | M | 47 | 3 months .4 mg/day | 10/3/2012 | 3 | couldn't pee | My prostate was fine but was having trouble peeing after a bought of tense pelvic floor muscles. Not sure why doc gave me this. I ended up doing pelvic floor muscle massages and stopped this med because it didn't seem to help my situation at all after 2 days.. | Only side effects I had were a stuffy nose which actually felt like a cold on and off. And retrograde ejaculation, which was way weird in itself. All these side effects went away over a course of two days after stopping the drug. I'm sure this drug does great for those who need it. If it's short term use, the stuffy nose and ejaculation problems are only temporary. A permanent fix to urinating issues is worth that, right. | M | 48 | 3 days .4mg 1X day | 9/23/2012 | 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 |
