Silodosin "Yes, it helped my urinary flow, but the dry ejaculation and lower sex drive are a deal breaker for me! I'm going back to Flomax or using nothing. I really like sex!"

Silodosin "Rapaflo works just as well as Flomax in terms of flow, and I don't get as dizzy or congested. It felt weird having no ejaculate, and my orgasm was not as intense as it was with Flomax."

Silodosin "The retrograde ejaculation (no semen) and decreased libido are not worth the benefits for sexually active men. If these side effects are of no concern, then try it, but I hated it."

"I tried Hytrin, Flomax, then Hytrin again. Then I tried Silodyx, which works well except that no semen is ejaculated-sex is normal with shorter orgasms. It's totally unmessy, so my wife is happy!"

"This is very effective for increasing my stream flow and reducing frequency. However, it has affected my ability to ejaculate, which I hope is temporary."
