Gentlemen:

I had a PVP in Tucson, Az on March 18, 2004.  My progress has been
somewhat disappointing so far.  I have a much better pee flow than
prior PVP.  It is excellent if I stay on Flomax.  However, without
flomax it slows down considerably.  That's a disapointment.  I had
counted on being like a kid again. Still have to get up 3-4 times a
night to pee.  That's a disapointment as well.

Flomax slows me down sexually and mentally and so I had hoped to be
free from it.  I know that it affects all of us differently.  This,
sadly, is my experience.

Still having trouble sleeping.  Was on ambien for a long while and it
stopped working very well.  Tried triazodone and that left me goofy.
The best things for me so far has been Tylenol p.m. (two tablets).
However, I still get up to pee 3-4 times.

My trouble seems to be that I awake if very little urine hits my
bladder.  It just awakens me.  Tried Detrol....doesn't help.

So...there is my update. Any suggestions about how to get a good
night's sleep?
