For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "Dizziness, impacted vision, neck and back muscle aches, difficulty in returning to sleep. I took Flomax for three months and reduced my intake to every other day due to the above problems and finally gave it up as bad medication for me."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "Improvement in urine flow was the only benefit! The worst side effect was in standing from a crouched position and experiencing severe dizziness to the point where I thought I was going unconscious. After taking it for a year, I ran out of the drug before I had a chance to renew the prescription, and after a few days, I decided not to renew. Why, you may ask? I felt renewed vigor and motivation, the lack of which I put down to being elderly and not to the drug. Another side effect is floppy iris syndrome, which if you read the ANZCO (Australian New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists) essay on the matter, you will understand why this is such a serious side effect!"
