"I'm sure there's a lot of men on here with the same condition as me, an enlarged prostate. I'm starting Tamsulosin and wondering if anyone else is on it and what's it like?" Been on it a couple of years now. Just take the capsule at night before bed. I’ve not had any side effects. | |||

"I'm sure there's a lot of men on here with the same condition as me, an enlarged prostate. I'm starting Tamsulosin and wondering if anyone else is on it and what's it like?" Something to keep in mind, all medication has possible side effects (even things like aspirin and paracetamol), some people will experience some side effects and others no side effects on any particular medication. If you experience severe side effects you should speak to your doctor and they may be able to change you to an alternative. | |||

"I'm sure there's a lot of men on here with the same condition as me, an enlarged prostate. I'm starting Tamsulosin and wondering if anyone else is on it and what's it like?" Been on it for about 4 years now. No side effects other than it had made getting a really hard erection more difficult. It was recently reviewed by a urologist who decided t keep me on the same daily dosage. | |||

"Having recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer, I was prescribed Tamulosin but found the side effects very difficult. For me the effects were somewhat like viagara in that I got strong erections and a very stuffy nose. The blocked nose was continual and I found it hard to sleep. I am now on Alfuzosin instead and do not have the side effects I had on Tamulosin. It also has worked better in what it was prescribed for, in that I am not rushing for a pee so urgently and frequently. Now just got to decide on the cancer treatment and I'm seeing the oncologist tomorrow. " Thank you for this. I only took my first dose last night. I woke up with a stuffy nose but I do have a very welcome strong erection this morning. Good luck with the surgery | |||

"Just wondering if these sort of discussions can end up having a placebo effect on the person asking? Let’s say People X, Y an Z all have experienced the same side effects on any on a particular medication, so person A just starting on it is predisposed to think they are going to have the same side effect, so they do. Likewise a strong suggestion that a sugar pill is a pain killer from a medical professional can actually cause the sufferers to feel better after taking it. And yes it is a real thing scientifically shown to happen. " I know it's a thing but not in my case. | |||
