"I originally began doxazosin 4mg for blood pressure many years ago. Over the years I needed additional medicines for blood pressure but continued taking doxazosin 4mg twice a day. I had been told that it would be helpful in maintaining urine flow. Not long ago I began taking Proscar. I thought that the Cardura would no longer be needed so I stopped. Within 2-3 days there was a definite reduction in urine flow. I repeated the off, then on again routine 3 times with the same rather dramatic results. I will continue with the doxazosin. PS: I have never noticed side effects at all."

"I started with 2 mg and went to 4 mg. Within a few days, I started diarrhea. The doctor couldn't give a reason. Went back to 2 mg and still had it. I found the answer in the side effects. I am now on 1 mg with no problem."

"Have NB prostatitis since the early '90s. Started on Hytrin, which had minimal effect on urine flow. I was one of the first people on Flomax, which worked great, and you can feel it soothe you during a flare-up. The problem is they started advertising, so the cost went from $15 to $170. I switched to Uroxatrol, but stopped after a week due to lethargy, and it did not work well. Finally landed on Cardura (Doxazosin) 4 mg. Nearly as good as Flomax for flow, but does not have that soothing effect if taken during a flare-up. It is dirt cheap, and along with Lisinopril helps my BP. A side effect is occasional dizziness after sitting or standing, then suddenly moving. Only 5% retrograde ejaculation vs. 50% for Flomax."

"Haven't had problems with discomfort. Somewhat reduced flow. My main problem is urgency. Cardura worked well. I did on-off-on-off testing and confirmed its effectiveness, and it did not aggravate my low blood pressure. Now I'm on Rapaflo, my nephrologist won't give me Cardura, and Rapaflo does not work nearly as well. I'm paying a lot more and getting much less relief. Next I plan to try something directed at shrinking the prostate."

"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."
