I am 59 (weight 158) and was having big problems with flow and frequency. Started Flomax about 3 months ago. The flomax worked great but I noticed the side effects immediately (dizzy/light headed/trouble sleeping). After about 3 weeks I began taking it every other day which helped reduce the side effects but didn't hurt urine flow etc. Still the dizziness etc was too much sometimes so I opened the capsules and took 1/4 to 1/3 dose. This is working best for me. Almost no dizziness and urine flow is still good.
P.S. Watch out using flomax in 100 degree heat. The heat seemed to magnify the dizziness factor and ringing in the ears.

I took my first Flowmaxtra last night, had difficulty going to sleep, woke up feeling I had been having bad dreams, my wife tells me I was talking in my sleep ( unusual ) and I had a sinus headache, also unusual. also discovered no ejaculate. to sum up,

sinus headache, disturbed sleep, no ejaculate

I will settle for a reduced urine flow, I am taking no more of these pills.

insomnia, reverse ejaculation, . Insomnia after 5 weeks, reverse ejaculation after 3 days. stopped Flomax 8 days ago and still can't sleep without a pill ! never had sleep problems in my life. does something to the sleep mechanism in your brain. they show 2.4 % with insomnia - i wonder about that as it seems a consistent theme on this board. Flomax did not stop me from going 3 x a night and only yielded a very moderate urine flow improvement.

Been on Flomax for 3 days, already noticed no ejaculation AT ALL, seem to be more sluggish and tired than usual, urine flow has improved and pain has subsided. not decided on benefits outlaying side effects yet.

I have been taking Flomax for 5 days. My urine flow was about the same for the first day or so, and I believe I have been getting up as many times as normal. The urge to go seems like it is less, however.

The first day, I noticed no sperm (only clear liquid) after ejaculation. this happened twice. the rest of the days were normal.

I do notice that I get dizzy sometimes after standing and feel like I have sortness of breath.

I took saw palmetto for a year and it is worthless (one pill per day), as my doctor told me it would be..
