Yeah..I was on both.  I switched from Flomax to Xatrol because I was unhappy
with retro.  Retro went away with Xatrol, but I still had all the other side
effects that I also had on Flomax.  Also, you might ask your doctor to
titrate your dosage of Flomax if you are happy with Flomax.  I don't know if
they can do that since  mine came in capsule form.  Xatrol I was able to
bite a second tablet in half.  I did that without doctors advice and later
when I told my doctor all my research and my decisions to titrate and to
stop taking 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors (prescribed DHT inhibitor), he was
impressed and commented "good follow up".  I don't suggest that you
experiment on your own, but am telling you my story so you can at least ask
the question of titrating the dosage if you want to hold of on the operation
a bit longer.   Best of luck to you.
