Has anyone experienced lower back pain while taking Flowmax? I have been taking it about one month and have developed lower back pain. > Has anyone experienced lower back pain while taking Flowmax? I have been > taking it about one month and have developed lower back pain. Back pains, muscle pains, dizziness and other symptoms. Decided to try something else. Dr. talked me into trying TUMT before PVP. Had it March 16. That procedure takes a long time to see results but I must admit I am having vast improvement. I wake due to other things, but a couple days ago for the first time in several years, I was able to sleep for over 8 hours without waking. Have being taken 0.4 mg flomax for years. No back pain. Did TherMatrx 9/04 but useless in months. http://www.healthsquare.com/newrx/FLO1180.HTM * More common side effects may include: Abnormal ejaculation, back pain, chest pain, cough, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, infection, nausea, runny nose, sinus problems, sleepiness, sore throat, weakness * Less common side effects may include: Decreased sex drive, dental problems, insomnia, vision problems * Rare side effects may include: Constipation, fainting, low blood pressure upon standing, painful persistent erection, palpitations, vertigo, vomiting > Has anyone experienced lower back pain while taking Flowmax?

Rich: I am dating a gentleman that has the decreased sex drive from taking Flomax. In fact, it has not only decreased but there is no erection. Also, insomnia is quite present. Is there something else that can be taken? Does anybody have any suggestions as this man is having an extremely hard time dealing with these problems and he wants to split up because of them. His attitude has taken a total flip. He has an enlarged prostrate the size of an orange, however, his doctor has not done any tests as of late. I have told him that it needs to be done but he is at the stage of not seeing anything other than there is no sex drive and all he does is find fault with every little thing I do, even though I may have just said hello. Any suggestions on what else he can do would be appreciated. Thank you! Lacey2 Hold on, Don't blame Flomax because you can't get an erection. I have to laugh at all the (Doctors Heh) on here, They are quick to jump and tell others that ( It Don't Work ). Common , because it don't work for you does not mean it don't work. If you can't get it up then get some Viagra, (Heh) . Bob > Rich: > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Lacey2 Bob: IF your comment was directed to my message, I was NOT blaming flomax for anything. I am simply questioning what suggestions there are for next steps. I am looking for any type of answers that might work. And, by the way, viagra has been used and he got sick. No lower back pain, but for the first couple of years of taking it I experienced discomfort on the right side of my hip. When I stopped the Flomax the discomfort went away, but so did the beneficial effects that I needed. After some trial and error I found that I could cut back on the dosage without affecting my flowrate and then the hip sensitivity went away. My original dosage was .4mg, but I reduced it by separating the capsule, tipping out a small amount and then putting the capsule together again. Over the past 7 years I have got quite adept at doing this. I also use the extra flomax by filling new gelatin capsules.
