I am a female on Flomax (to try and speed the release of a kidney stone). I've been on the medication for 4 weeks and my arms (including my hands) and legs have become very weak and tired feeling all the time. I feel dizzy most of the time, due to Flomax causing a blood pressure drop, which also leaves me freezing (even in 90-95 degree weather). I now have begun to feel nauseated and can't stand the thoughts of any food whatsoever. There has got to be another medicine that can do the same thing as Flomax without all the side effects.

I took 1 .4 mg pill. ONE pill. This is now the second day and I cannot ejaculate at all. My orgasms are weaker than they used to be, and I'm scared that this isn't going to return to normal. I can't believe that they let people use this stuff..

I was prescribed this drug because of a kidney stone that I needed to pass which passed and would have passed without taking the drug. I thought that it would be nice to have around, but there is no way in hell I'm taking this ever again. I'm just sorry that I wasted ~$40 on this med with my insurance! This is one expensive drug, and the side effect of not being able to ejaculate is not worth it to me.

How long does this crap stay in your system!?

I'm seriously worried.

On the up side... I think they've inadvertently discovered a male birth control pill.

Here's another article about a guy having a similar experience and discussing how the company found a male birth control pill:

Had I read this, I never would have taken this drug.

I took flomax once about six months ago prescribed to
treat a kidney stone and enlarged prostate. One dose
was enough to convince me that I did not like the way
I felt with this drug in my system. Slugisness, dizy,
and very odd. But the one symptom that I still have
after six months and one dose is a constant ringing
in my ears. Is this the side effect for life?

I have been on Flomax for four weeks, I had a large Kidney
Stone. My side effects are crazy dreams and swollen ankels
and I cannot control my urination during the day. I have no
energy, also I have no sex drive.
