Flomax and urinating

I am a 57 year old female and have been on Flomax for 3 years. I have tried twice to stop but my urinary hesitancy was worse. Has anyone had this experience? Does anyone know how to wean off this medication? Doctors don't seem to have the answer.

I have been on Flowmax almost a year. It solved the hard to go problem almost immediately. I do not have any problem going to the bathroom and usually make it through the night now without having to get up. I do not have a particularly hard time getting an erection, but I have notice a much lower ejaculation and less satisfying climax. But age could also be a factor for me at 64. For the most part I like what Flowmax did for me. Before the doc put me on Flowmax there would be times I had a hard time urinating and it was scary. For me I will have to continue using the drug.

I have been taking flomax for a couple of years now. The benefit has been urinating a few times less a day. I don't sleep well. Lately, I have been have mild, not real painful, like a dull pain headaches. I do get dizzy upon standing more frequently lately, I do not recall the dizziness until just recently. But my big side effect is loss of erection during sex and/or voluntary erection. I never had this problem before. I workout five days a week, three cardio days and two days in the weight room. I also take lisinopril for blood pressure and lovastatin for chloresterol. Great to hear other men are experiencing these same side effects.

I was treated with radiotherapy for prostate cancer 4 years ago. My doctor at Radiotherapy Clinic of Georgia recommended taking 2 (.4 mg) Flomax capsules daily.
I stayed on that dosage for over a year, much to my misery. Furthermore, when urinating, I was unable to control bowel flow. In addition this dosage caused urgency to urinate more frequently. I am currently cutting back to 1 pill every three days. This is not recommended by anyone. I am just trying to cut back as much as is I feel comfortable about. Since I seem to be unable to control my bowel flow that occurs when urinating, I have developed bleeding from the rectum.
