My Urologist gave me a couple of sample bottles of Avodart and I have taken
it for 4 days. Night before last, I had more difficulty urinating than
before but didn't think much about it. Last night I almost couldn't urinate
at all. I really had to force it. The only thing different is the Avodart,
so I am stopping it. I don't know for sure what is happening, but after a
couple of days, I will post again and see if it improves.

I saw a thread from late 2003 (soon after Avodart hit) regarding the
pros/cons of each with side effect info.

I'm leaning toward Avordart. I take Saw Palmetto occasionally, Flomax
more frequently. My uro is making no recommendation between the two. I
have reasonably severe Urinary Retention which Flomax addresses
incompletely.

Any thoughts/experiences/recommendations would be appreciated.

With either/both is it ok to continue Flomax (or would that become
redundant)?

Thanks in advance.
