FLOMAX  (TAMSULOSIN HYDROCHLORIDE):  Tamsulosin is used by men to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia-BPH). It does not shrink the prostate, but it works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and the bladder. This helps to relieve symptoms of BPH such as difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the need to urinate often or urgently (including during the middle of the night). Tamsulosin belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha blockers. Do not use this medication to treat high blood pressure.   FDA Approval Date: 1997-04-15 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  BPH Originally when I started taking this drug it decreased frequency of urination during the daytime and my stream was a tad stronger. Eventually after about 2 months these effects diminished. I started feeling very tired,bit anxious, loss of strength, muscle soreness and back and body aches as well as experiencing what is called retrograde ejaculation. Didn't associate these symptoms to the Flomax until last week when I actually read the material provided by the pharmacy. I stopped taking it 4 days ago and feel so much better and have been urinating less than when I was taking it. Go figure! I will never take Flomax again and will start my own treatment taking vitamin E, flaxseed oil,zinc and saw palmetto. M 67 8 months

 1  ICW KIDNEY STONES I had an excruciating toothache that started in the gum behind the back lower teeth. The pain then radiated to the right side of my face so that I couldn't tell if it was my tooth or and ear infection. Visited both my doctor and my dentist and neither found anything wrong. I stopped taking Flomax and my toothache was gone the next day. I don't know that it was the Flomax but the fact that the toothache went away within 24 hours of stopping seems to be enough proof for me. I will speak with my urologist to see if there is an alternative medication. Also sexual side effects - no ejaculate with a weak erection. I could live with that temporarily - but I could not live with the pain. Luckily I had a few Oxycodone pills from my Urologist - but honestly even they had little effect on the pain. M 68 7 days

 1  Enlarged prostate Muscle weakness (especially on one side of body...scary), decreased ejaculate, joint pain, rapid heartbeat, anxiety This drug did help somewhat with my difficulty urinating, but so far it isn't worth the sides. Naturally, doc said nothing about there being side effects. I have PTSD so the last thing I need is a drug that causes anxiety. These side effects are scary. Unless you have to go the ER to urinate, or your abdominal discomfort is just too much, stay away from this shit. M 57 1 days

 1  Enlarged prostate Extreme toothache, both on the lower jaw and upper jaw. It started with 1 tooth, I thought it was just a localized dental problem. It spread to the entire mouth in a day. The pain was excruciating, imagine you may have root canal on all of your teeth at the same time without anesthesia! Beside the extreme toothache, I also experienced hot, cold spells, headache, body ache, restless. I have stopped using it for 2 days now, the toothache is slowly going away, still have hot and cold spell and fatigue. I hoping once the drug is completely flushed from my system, I'll be back to normal I just can't recommend this drug at all M 53 4 days

 3  Ureter kink or stone after surgery Dizziness, fatigue, confusion, increased heartbeat, annoying light headache, stuffy nose, no energy, disturbed sleep, depressed feeling. I am taking this for a possible kink in my uretur or stone stuck after 2 surgeries to get kidney stones out. My doctor said its not meant for women, but will be used "off label" because FDA only approves it for male use. It's helped my flow and backed up pain in my kidney but do not like the side effects. Considering discontinuing it today. F 34 4 days

 2  Enlarged prostrate Sleep disruption w/dry mouth and strange dreams. Headaches, runny nose,fatigue along with flu like symptoms. Little to no ejaculate which had never occurred before. This all started when I explained to the Dr that I occasionally had a strong urge to urinate and occasionally had trouble waiting. The need to urinate throughout the night would arise on occasion as well. Meds took care of the immediate issues but the side effects weren't worth it. Meds had me feeling lousy so I've discontinued use after 10 days. M 60 10 days

 1  Kidney stone Having had a bad case of Gout, my uric acid went crazy which resulted in kidney stones. my doctor prescribed flomax to take at bedtime. I took one dosage, and woke up feeling lots of anxiety. Approximately an hour later I felt dizziness, severe weakness, and something similar to a hot flash, and a cold sweat. My wife applied a cold washcloth to my forehead which seem to bring me back. I will never use it again, and I recommend anyone attempting to use this to use at your own risk. M 53 1 days
