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 "I am 66 and have been getting up 6-7 times a night to urinate. Previously, I tried Flomax, but this made me dizzy. My urologist suggested Rapaflo, which I have been taking for 5 days. I now go 3-4 times per night. No side effects, but I noticed I feel a bit lethargic and my nose is runny. I have been using only 4 mg size and may ask to try the 8 mg as I am a big guy (6'3", 205 lbs)."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "After trying Flomax, Hytrin, and Myrbetriq, none of which worked, my doctor suggested Rapaflo. I've been taking it nightly for 10 days now, and I don't feel any relief for the BPH symptoms. The retrograde ejaculations are strange, but something I recall from Hytrin and Flomax. However, the intensity of orgasm is maybe 30% of normal. I'm also dog tired virtually all the time - dunno if that's the medication or something else. I've read here of taking it every other day; I'll give that a try and see if things improve. If they don't, I'm going off the drug."
