Dosage: 0.4mg / Day for 5 days.
Age: 26
Occupation: Chemist

Physical:
Feels like something is pulling down on my lungs inside of my chest. Sinus blockage. It feels actually like Viagra where there is swelling in the sinus cavity but not due to mucus. Result is a slightly blocked airway in nasal passage. NO EJACULATE, able to orgasm, but nothing comes out. (A good male birth control pill?) Sporadic, short headaches (~2-4 / Day). Shallow breathing, shortness of breath after going up stairs. Feeling weak all day long. Most of these probably due to lower blood pressure.

Mental:
Wanting to sleep more. A small lack of motivation to socialize, but not major. Annoyed / Angered more easily and often. (could be due to NO EJACULATE!!) A little humor there. No, seriously, I am really easy to agitate now. I wouldn't say lower sex drive, but more controlled sex drive. I felt horny most of the time before Flomax, but now only when engaged in sexual activity. (kind of nice actually) Haven't noticed anything about dream alterations.

Side Note:
The ejaculation part scares me a little bit just as others have expressed. As long as it comes back when I am off that is fine. Flomax DOES NOT shrink the prostate, it relaxes the prostate. I can see why this may cause a lack of ejaculate since the prostate in a way, a sperm valve. I feel like this should really be listed in the side effects but I know that masturbation is not part of clinical trials. Interesting though...could it be used as a male birth control pill? The first few days, a small small volume of ejaculate came out. Now, at day 5, dry as a bone.

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!

I have been on Flomax for four weeks, I had a large Kidney
Stone. My side effects are crazy dreams and swollen ankels
and I cannot control my urination during the day. I have no
energy, also I have no sex drive.

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.

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."

I live with him and see him every day. He eats very little, (i think it still hurts) he says he's not in pain anymore. At nine he was still thr...
