I was so thankful to be put on Tamsulosin. It worked right away with very little side effects. I was very relieved and thankful for the immediate results. Very important for me to do a lot of walking, to be up and active keeps me normal during the day. I do get some light headedness if I cough too hard and long or when I stand up too quickly, not very often. It seems if I drink more than 3 or 4 cups of coffee or if I have too much sugar, or lack exercise, I will have difficulty urinating a good stream but have to take 2, 3 attempts to pee which come on very urgently after the first attempt. I have made changes, take tamsulosin at night, monitor the coffee, stay away from sweets and do a lot of walking and stay active. Works well.
I can feel my blood pressure droppong,but that symptom seems to be easing off,i have a phone appointment with my Dr on friday 23rd august about the drug after taking it fir a month..I'm struggling to ejaculate properly but have pain in the testcles as well and cold like symptoms which seem to be permanent..Having all three of these is too much,i also watched a utube urologis earlier and she said that the sexual problems on average can go on fir 4 years after long ter use..ad advised taking alternatives drugs..Wha i don't understand is with all these side effects which can be life effecting why is the drug prescribed so ofte,,The urologis said 8-18% of ejaculate and ED function occurs on this drug, but alternative drugs just 0.6%..i caj only assume that is is very cheap to produce..
Thank you for your good presentation and explanation. Since I just started tamsulosin 0.4 mg. I had my first dose after dinner last night . I was unable to sleep immediately. But then slept well. I reduced some of my high blood pressure medicines which I take in the morning after breakfast meal. I checked my presssure and it was normal range 117/79. the pulse was 97. The pressure medication is nifedipine Er 50 mg. I stopped it today morning. I did take losartsn hctz 50/12.5 mg tablets i took 1 instead of two to prevent my pressure to drop too down. I made my own decision because unable to get a appointment or call a doctor. Not much good doctors.here in Florida. Most are nurse practioners. So i dont get a appointment. I hope it works from my slightly enlarged prostate. And I hope myy psa level will drop as it was 5.4 last month. Abnormal range. And it bothers me. As I dont want to do a biopsy and it was not recommended. Also I am 68 years old I dont like surgeries. I hope it works out with this medication. Let me know any advise about the blood pressure medication. Thank you.
Been on Tamsulosin for . months. I feel some light headedness & dizziness. Recently I noticed I am becoming forgetful and I saw on a video that Vesicare is linked to alzheimer. Feel scary.
Yes, I have been on Tamsulosin for a couple of yrs. Recently I began getting dizziness symptoms & I have had the runny nose for some time. I have recently found myself needing rest ( not for physical reasons but more forbrain fag. My concern is, if it can affect my ears/sinis areas, what affect it may have on the brain? I have read where there is some link to developing Dementia? Would apreciate your feedback. Thank you
On the same visit to my doctor last week, I was prescribed sildenafil for e.d., to be taken without delay AND tamsulosin for peeing issues, starting in two weeks time. My concern is that the tamsulosin will cancel out the desired effect of the sildenafil, because it causes e.d?
Started taking about a week ago. The amount of trips to the bathroom daily only decrease a lil. Yet all of the issues with starting and completely emptying are gone. As far as all or any mentioned side effects, i have none whatsoever. My advice is to not assume that one person's results good or bad will be your experience. Find out for yourself.
No mention of the dangers of operating machinery, car or motorcycle driving, riding, It is real, falling asleep while driving/riding, Same effect as alcohol.
Started on Flomax and deutasteride. 68 yrs. old. Rapid heart beat and dizzyness whehamacyn standing up. Runny nose and ear problems. Left breast became extremely sore also pain in the neck beside windpipe not like a normal sore throat. Tiredness more than normal. Stopped deutasteride totally breast pain and sore neck stopped. Now taking Flomax .4mg once a day. Going to start every second day soon and then quit. Now there is a shortage of flo max at our pharmacy only can get 2 weeks worth per visit. I would rather piss my pants or do the green light laser than fill my body with this poison. Fuck big pharma.
Yes I have take it for 3 months , and I had to stop, in affect my ejaculated tremendously, this is not good, I am 76 years old, this medicatio has so many bab affect in my opinion
Been on it 6 years.. keeping me away from TURP etc.. Everything still works great. I have changed from morning to night.. back and forth. Taken with meal and without. Still point 4 milligrams.. I don't smoke or drink or use any drugs. Exercise every other day quite intense.. running hills and kickboxing. 64 years old now.. tamulosin has been a Life saver . My brother had the TURP and ruined his sex life. Another friend switched to the tifadil drug.. he says it's working. Thanks for the presentation and analysis
Yes taking for months now..previously prescribed doxazosin..but made me feel like a eunuch... Great to get nocturnal erections returning.. and some libido back..but nothing like before bph 😢
had serious problems with dizziness and blood pressure drop(77/33) and vertigo.i fell on many occasions due to drop in BP bending over i once fell over and broke my ribs. finally found a doctor who knew about problems with flomax and once i stopped taking it everything went back to normal
My doctor said Flomax is one of those meds that you can take and switch back and forth between taking and not taking for a while. I took it for a few days (about a week) in Oct. 2023. It never did slow down the frequency of urination so I stopped taking it. Then on June 9 this year I took 1 tablet after breakfast because I was beginning to see consistently poor urine flow. The next day, June 10th, I took another tablet around 9:00 A.M. because you are supposed to take it around the same time each day. But this time I took it on an empty stomach because I had a 10:00 A.M. breakfast meeting which I did keep. At 1:00 that afternoon, I passed out with no warning, no feeling of dizziness or feeling lightheaded. Fortunately I was inside a post office. Had I passed out 10 minutes earlier, I would have been driving on a California freeway at 70 mph. I do not trust Flomax anymore even though I should have taken it after a meal on the 2nd day.
Still taking it. 2nd month. Still getting up at night 2 or more times. Take in the AM on an empty stomach. 3 score an 20+1. Diabetic 2. Do far, not impressed with results.
Great review of side effects thanks for giving percentage of effected per side effect. I'm still undecided after a month as I feel a little lethargic overall but may be other things causing that
I have bean on Tamsulosin 400mg in the morning and Finasteride 5mg in the evening,I aso gave up up Alcohol and havant noticed any improvement. I now tend to go to bed at 2am and only need too get up maybe twice. I have been on them both for over two years. Might help if I switch them round? Regards Dave in the UK.👍👍.
Me also. I take Tamsulosin and experience some temporary dizziness when standing and also ejection problems, but also in a long term sexless marriage so not a noticeable problem.
I took my second dose last night with no food. I woke up with the worst eye pain/headache. I was up from 0000-0530 and could not go back to sleep. My eyes felt swollen and painful and the headache was right behind my eyes and moved into my sinuses and I could barely breathe and I was dizzy. I realize that I should have taken it with food, but I won't take it again. That was really weird.
I’ve have heart failure also lost 27/ 28 % of lung capacity bottom of the lungs Coal Mining, also have chronic bronchitis, arthritis in several areas, age 67 , I take several medications ramipril celecoxib amertripalin zapping monterlukast Tamfrex Finasteride Omeprazole relvar dry powder flixonase post nasal drip linked to mining dust and exsplosive dust mining , joint pain and muscle spasms I noticed that issue after starting the Atorvastatin 🏴
My husband passed out 3 times from taking Flomax, his doctor insisted he keep taking it but she’s not here to try and get him off the floor! I threw them away.
I am now taking natural vitamins which has saw palmetto and a lot of important vitamins in it for the prostate I’ve been on tamulosin for many years and want to get off them as I still have a large prostate and it does affect erections. Do I have to gradually get off them or can I just stop them? Also in the meantime, can I take both together?
Thanks Sir. Is Silodosin reduses side effect /symptoms of cataract surgery or retrograde ejaculation as it's supper selective alpha blocker? What advantage Silodosin make over Tamsulosin?
I take flomax only when I need it. I have experienced headaches like a quick sharp pain top of my head I take it without food early in the morning. I heard about the side effects when I first started taking flomax about 3 years ago I like taking natural supplements I quit flomax for six months had no problem urinary flow was great after awhile my urinary flow started slowing so I started taking flomax when my urinary flow slows down!
I've had TURP sugery, maybe 2006 or 07, necessary but didn't fix the problem, need to straight cath most of time. Ultimately diagnosed with neurogenic bladder - usually have little or no feeling to urinate yet volume on straight cath might produce 1000 ml. Chronic UTIs. Is flowmax advisable for this since I have no urge ? Just have to depend on timing every 4-6 hours. Also on Lasix.

IMHO sugar is creating all types of medical problems for people, I avoid it, as much as possible.

Been on Tamsulosin for . months. I feel some light headedness & dizziness. Recently I noticed I am becoming forgetful and I saw on a video that Vesicare is linked to alzheimer. Feel scary.
While on Flomax I became very short of breath, simply walking was an issue and I am otherwise healthy.

I take it but it makes me dizzy some time am wondering if it will help the enlarge prostate to go down
It works 2 a day but probably need surgery

I'm starting Flomax. Your video is very comparative to some others I've seen more informative and your style more easily watched.
I am now taking natural vitamins which has saw palmetto and a lot of important vitamins in it for the prostate I’ve been on tamulosin for many years and want to get off them as I still have a large prostate and it does affect erections.

What advantage Silodosin make over Tamsulosin?
what about long term use possibly linked to increased chance of developing dementia?
Finished radiation of prostrate six weeks ago. Can I get off Flomax. Scared to try
That will be up to your doctor Brian
I take flomax only when I need it. I have experienced headaches like a quick sharp pain top of my head I take it without food early in the morning.

Hey, Mick! Greetings from Indiana! My little brother Loyd Henderson watches you!
It helps me Thanks for sharing this information ❤🎉❤
No comments only a very good med it fixed my problems
very useful, thank you.
Thanks Ray - appreciate that.
I have Been om flomax abou 8 ears - is it ok to take Sildenafil ones a week ?
I'm taking it for two months. No side effects
Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻
Is it working for you? If so, how many days were you taking it before noticing improvements?
GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY
why the meal?
If you do not take with food peak blood levels can jump 50% or more.
I am on Tamsulosin for (3) yrs now and PSA is still reading 17 from the last lab test done, what do you suggest, Dr recommended a biopsy
@@orlynparillon8302Don't!
I take floral, can the ejaculations go away if you quit using it
Can ejaculations return if you quit taking flomax!
Yes - they usually return
I've had TURP sugery, maybe 2006 or 07, necessary but didn't fix the problem, need to straight cath most of time.
Ultimately diagnosed with neurogenic bladder - usually have little or no feeling to urinate yet volume on straight cath might produce 1000 ml.
Chronic UTIs.
Is flowmax advisable for this since I have no urge ? Just have to depend on timing every 4-6 hours.
Also on Lasix.
Should we continue after cataract surgery.
