My wife and I are happy to have found this site... The 4-5 years I've been taking Flomax; I have had almost no sex drive, cannot keep an erection; experience morning dizziness; suffer form depression. I have not had any noticable decrease in my nighttime trips to the bathroom. I recently discoverd my waking up problem has been my nasal congestion. Tratment with Flonase is allowing me to sleep well and feel like myself again. However, we suppect a drug interaction with my high blood pressure medications; as my BP has been very erratic since I began using Flonase.

I gave up using Flomax after just over a year. I found that I was getting less and less benefit. I have been depressed for quite a long time and had not related it to anything. Within 48 hours of stopping the drug, my depression completely disappeared - and has stayed away so far!

Wish I had read this site before starting with Flomax. Whereas it did take care of the frequentcy of urination problems at night, several other problems reared thier ugly heads. Among them were decresed sex drive, less firm erection, insomnia, dizziness and some depression.
Wish that my doctor had been more spacific with me on the side-effects and hadn't just said "try this for a while."
