Flomax and orthostatic hypotension
Post a new Flomax side effect

My MD gave me a free sample when I complained that my BPH caused me to get up too frequently ( 4-5 times an evening) to get a good nights sleep. I took Flomax .4mg for three nights and got great results the third evening with only one trip to the bathroom. However, the day after I fainted and for the last four days I have been dizzy despite not taking anymore Flomax. I was admitted to the hospital for tests. They were all negative but documented my Flomax induced orthostatic hypotension with repeated measurments of lying, sitting and then standing BP measurments.
I am 64 and never had this problem prior to taking those three Flomasx pills. RLR
fainting, dizziness

58 yrs old with VIOLENT dreams & getting worse even with clonipin from neurologist. Have Multiple System Atrophy according to him, but I think it may be the FloMax's side effects, but gotta take it (to urinate) because of neurogenic bladder disease caused from back fusion 33 yrs ago. No sex drive, <>ejaculat, blurred vision, sinusitis, orthostatic hypotension, and I STILL have to hit the john 3~ times nightly. Gotta do something, but WHAT? I wouldn't touch it now, had I known then what I know now!
