For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I've had a weak stream for some time, but after a recent prostate biopsy, I had extra trouble voiding. Actually, I was just dribbling and couldn't even get up a good stream. In the mornings, I wasn't sure I would be able to urinate at all. After one day, I noticed I was getting a little bit better flow, but it immediately caused dry ejaculation. I took a second day and developed a headache, which carried into the third day. This morning, I was so tired and lethargic I lay in bed till noon. I decided at this point that I would get off it and see if my energy comes back. I believe I will have to opt for surgery and get this fixed."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "Really not sure why my urologist gave me samples of this drug since my prostate was normal for my age and my PSA was normal. I was not having issues peeing, just some discomfort. Anyway, I tried the pills for four days. Nothing changed because I was still up 2-3 times per night like I have for years. But... the side effects were immediate. Stuffy head, headaches, and no ejaculate. Not a drop. Freaked me out. Erection was not as strong, and the 'climax' took longer to reach and was literally a split second. If you still enjoy sex, steer clear of this drug. I'm stopping immediately and will not return to that doctor. As far as I'm concerned, I paid $200 for nothing."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I have been getting up 3-4 times every night and finally decided to try medication again. (Previously tried Flomax, which did nothing for me.) Rapaflo, after 4 days, gave me only a headache, diarrhea, and at best a 20% flow increase. I still got up several times during the night, maybe one less time than previous. The side effects and minuscule benefit made it a no-brainer to stop taking this useless medication. A waste of $78."
