Flomax and Me
How do you know when you can go off of
flomax
? Long term side effects? I'm 3 months out from my radiation therapy at Kaiser. My
flomax
script was over at 6 weeks post radiation! Then, my urination was very painful, demanding and frequent.

After two weeks on Tamsulosin, noticing leg cramps at night
After the third treatment session, I started to have urinary retention, and was given
flomax
, which immediately improved the urinary retention, though it was still a slower flow than before treatment. I also am experience some burning during urination, though that has been improving.

Flomax and PC
Was taking
Flomax
before being diagnosed with PC, Gleason 8 Had 45 radiation treatments, currently taking Zytiga and Prednisone daily and monthly injections of Firmagon. Question: Should I stop taking
Flomax
while being treated for PC? Thanks in advance.

Flomax dosage 2x a day?
Not sure
Flomax
is really working for me with one dose. Possibly the radiation is really putting the cabash to what this drug can do. Appreciate the feedback!

Xtandi-Lupron Side Effect Questions
His numbers went way, way down so they were able to cut him back to half the Xstandi to help with dizziness issues that Xstandi &
Flomax
were causing, that helped but numbers crept back up, so he's now on 3/4 dose. He's been on it a year and is not the man I once new.

I'm 84 and diagnosed with PC 5 months ago. I was told I had High Risk Localized PC with a Gleason score of 8.
I also take .4 mg
Flomax
(I no longer have fainting spells in the early morning hours since I started taking
Flomax
in the late afternoon after a snack).

Pain and bleeding 1-1/2 years post radiation
He's been taking
flomax
, but this past couple of months he's had a lot of pain while peeing, and last week some blood. Urinalysis shows no infection, but on Thursday doctor suggested a cycle of Aleve and Doxy, just to be sure.

Silodosin, Frequent Urination and PCa
The primary use of this drug (like
flomax
) is for enlarged prostrate. My prostrate is not enlarged but, from what I read, this drug is also sometimes prescribed for those who have had radiation to this area. In addition, one study I came across indicates Silodosin inhibits prostate cancer cell.

Post Brachy
Had to go on
Flomax
to help urination - a little crampy after voiding but minor. I'm pretty active but was told to dial it way back for two weeks - no weight lifting and stay off the bike for a while. I'm still going to the climbing gym a couple times a week but have backed off.

Prazosin - Game Changer?
BruceSF sent me this message and it looks like a game changer for those trying to prevent recurrence, to me: I’ve been taking Prazosin for 4 years since my radiation therapy, it is a drug that helps urinary flow (same family - alpha blocker - as
Flomax
) and lowers blood pressure and still have an

EBRT Experience
My urinary tract was irritated - but I never had to take the prescribed
Flomax
, and my bowels were a bit irritated - a bit gassey and cramping, but I never felt like it was a big issue, but was annoying.

LDR brachy at MSK: Five weeks post-treatment
Urologist says part of this is definitely a side effect of
Flomax
, as I told him I lost a lot of ejaculate even before treatment, when I began
Flomax
a week before. He says once I get off
Flomax
whatever effect it's having on me in this department will stop.

LDR brachytherapy at MSK: Day after treatment
In addition to low-dose Cialis, for the past week my RO has had me on
flomax
and finasteride (the latter just for 90 days), and both can cause abnormal ejaculation -- it returns once you're off the drug. My RO thinks it's the
flomax
, so hopefully I can get off it sooner rather than later.

Just finished my SBRT treatment at MSKCC
My urination has been fine (taking
Flomax
every night)... no burning or irritation. I felt a bit of leakage one day, but it went away. No other concerns. In terms of rectal irritation, I had some mucous leakage on day 4, but that also went away.
