I can't take either, but I would immediately go back to the hytrin if it
works for you, no questions asked.  You don't need to wait any longer than a
week (if your uro says you do he is in error).  Best wishes...Pete

Alpha blockers each work a wee bit differently.   That's what your doctor
was really trying to tell you.  Not precise science.  Youa re th guinea pig
and he's going to bounce you around from med to med because that's what the
studies suggest...those titled, "The efficacy of ..."   Your doctor wants
you to experiment to find out which of the drugs offers the best results
with least side effects.   You'll go back to the doctor again and
again...nice game for the doctor...stays in his comfort zone while you think
you are being helped.   Lots of money to be made with this routine.   But if
it were me, and knowing what I know now, screw the drugs!!!    Read deeply
about their side effects.   You want to be sure you are not onto one that
can cause more serious cardio problems upon exertion.  Also, be sure you are
not taking one that causes longer term side effects that creep up on you
slowly, months or several years.   Do they leave you enough energy today to
even do any exertion?  Check out PVP, TURP etc.,  instead of taking drugs.
Lots of stuff in this newsgroup on PVP and might save yourself a lot of
misery tomorrow from drug side effects.   See my post under Greenlight side
effects...I suffered while taking different Alpha blockers (urinary
relaxants), even came close to blacking out a number of times.   They have
screwed me up for at least the past 1.5 years and who knows, I may have to
live with the side effects for a long time to come if not for the rest of my
life.   I am really pissed off.    I even had expensive cardio testing done
to try to find the cause.  Many doctors.  Many checkups.   Finally...one
said, "Duh!  You are taking Alpha blockers.   What makes you think they can
be so precise as to only work on that one specific region and not affect
other parts of the circulatory..."  So I had the operation.   That last
doctor was absolutely correct.   I wasted a lot of time, money, and agony
until the PVP.  I want to spread the word now....I am really pissed off and
this is the only way I can think of getting my message out to folks like
you.   Think about it.   My recommendation...get off the meds as soon as you
can.   Lots of other choices out there.
