For High Blood Pressure "Just been moved onto this, so early days. I take 2 mg with amlodipine 5 mg. I take it in the evening before bedtime. First day was okay, but the second day was very difficult because of the dizziness. Very dangerous if you're out walking and you topple over. Just be very careful if you start taking this drug. It works, but the side effects have to be monitored correctly."

Doxazosin for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I found Cardura a wonderful drug which made my urine flow so easily and cured the discomfort I used to feel during urination. I felt no side effects either."

For High Blood Pressure "Was on 4 mg doxazosin per day, which was making me tired and dizzy. Have now reduced it to 2 mg and feel a lot better. But it has an effect on my peeing, which is a reduced rate now. BP seems okay."

Doxazosin for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "This named drug is prescribed normally in Spain and France, usually packaged as Carduran. I have used it for ten years but cannot get it in Australia. It was very effective at reducing levels of PSA."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "For me personally, generic doxazosin is just as effective and a fraction of the cost of a patented big drug company product."
