Rating | Reason | Side Effects | Comments | Sex | Age | Time Taken and Dosage | Date Added | |
3 | frequent urination/enlarged prostat | Possible decrease in ability to get a good erection for 1st few weeks. No longer experiencing this.Erections back to normal. If suspecting some erectile dysfunction from Avodart, Viagra, Cialis, or Levitra, should help accelerate getting erect and maintaining it through any type of sexual activity. Worked for me. | So far, so good. Just rating a "3" at this point. After taking over a year,along w/Flomax, no side effects.Prostate has begun to shrink, and I believe I can now more fully empty my bladder.Have been able to reduce Flomax from once a day to once every other day. Hope to eliminate taking Flomax after 1.5 yrs on Avodart if prostate continues to shrink and urination continues to improve. Looking forward to stopping Flomax due to the weak and delayed semen flow during orgasm caused by Flomax. Avodart is expensive, but sleeping without having to get up to urinate will be worth it to me. | M | 58 | 13 months .5 1X D | 10/25/2010 | |
4 | frequent urination/enlarged prostat | Now taking Avodart every other day, alternating with Saw Palmetto extract.I believe my prostate has shrunk somewhat more. I will discontinue both Avodart and Flomax (which I also only take every other day now) when I run out. It will be interesting to see if my BPH issues continue to be better (having to urinate less often) and if the sexual side effects completely subside (a little more difficult to get an erection and decreased ejaculate). | M | 59 | 3 years .5 1X O | 1/7/2012 | ||
