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.

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.
