Haven't been a regular in this group since the
"last century."

I've played the bph game for nearly 20 years.
Unmedicated I'm what this group used to call a
'4x' toilet visitor each night.

First 10 years was with Saw Palmetto 3/da and
that held me. E.D. began to creep up on my life
so began Viagra and made the switch to Terazosin
(Hytrin), 1mg per day.

Five years ago I switched to Levitra.  More
recently, I had a fall when I "got dumb" and
took some Levitra too close to a dose of
Hyrtin--and wound up on the floor.

Last year I entered a trial for Cialis as a sub
for both the Hytrin and the Viagra.  Didn't get
the bph relief that Hytrin, by itself, gave me.

Uro then tried me on Cardura (2mg) for several
months.  It's a 'softer' med than Hytrin --
slower to act, but seemed to have a longer
half-life.  Hope was that it would interact less
with Levitra.  I prefer the quick action of
Hytrin so persuaded the Uro into giving me one
Hytrin (1mg) each morning with an option for a
second Hytrin in the afternoon if I need it and,
promise to use it >4hr before swallowing either
Viagra or Levitra.  That worked well for a
couple of months.

Then, I thought, why not mix Saw Palmetto with
Hytrin.  I've been trying that for several
weeks.  First with 2 capsules of Saw each day
plus 1mg of Hytrin.   Looked like the E.D was
getting worse on 2 caps of Saw.  So now, it's
one cap of Saw and one Hytrin each day.  For two
weeks this has worked without need for a second
Hytrin.  The Saw seems to extend the effect of
the Hytrin throughout the day and into the
evening.  Feels like Cardura but the quickness
of a second Hytrin is always available.

Think I'll try to find a nearby source for
Pumpkin Seed extract.  Never tried it but have
heard that it helps Saw do its job.
