Avatar m tn It would be unusual though to have this production reduced down to zero unless the man was ejaculating very often. In general terms Flomax is a useful medication with very few side-effects..
Avatar m tn I have taken Flomax for a week, and am very weary of the side effects. It effects my vision - I can feel it in my eyes. It dulls my brain, I can feel it in my head. It caused the ringing in my ears to get worse. I've had minor chest pain for a few days. All of these are on the list of side effects.
1580703 tn?1651904887 Hello, Every drug has its own side effects and Flomax (tamsulosin) is no exception. However it has been reported that treatment with FLOMAX capsules for up to 12 months had no significant effect on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and does not effect prostate. It effect the vision and may cause blurred vision but that is found in only 0.2- 2% of the patients.
Avatar m tn Have you been experiencing possible hypo symptoms other than the muscle problems? What medication dosage were you on previously and what is it now? Please post your thyroid test results and reference ranges shown on the lab report.
Avatar f tn With many mood stabilizers a psychiatrist looks for how its helping someone as regards dosage and also side effects. With lithium there is a specific window of efficacy that can be determined after the standard blood tests. He could ask his psychiatrist if he could lower the dosage and how it could be done If he has specific concerns he is experiencing he should discuss that as well.
Avatar m tn This is the first medication they suggested to us. She seems to be doing really well in school but the side effects at home are becoming hard for us to handle. SHe has become very nonaffectionate, emotional, withdrawn, and seems to be uninterested in life. She also will not eat at all. She is eating maybe one meal a day. I am wondering if we switch medications, will the side effects be the same/as bad?
Avatar n tn Are you taking Flomax for prostate issues? Flomax works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder and prostate, which leads to improved flow of urine and fewer symptoms of BPH. It indeed can have side effects like you describe. https://www.healthline.com/health/enlarged-prostate/flomax-side-effects#side-effects It's a relatively low percentage of patients, less than 4% that have these types of side effects but none the less, that could be going on for you.
Avatar m tn Hi, Thanks for writing in. Prostatitis is usually not a side effect of use of flomax, indeed it can happen due to BPH, for which flomax is used as treatment. It would be better to get prostrate examination done by a urologist and take opinion for surgery for resolving these symptoms. Choice of antibiotics depends upon the kind of organism affecting the prostrate. Best.
Avatar n tn However, sometimes the medication outweighs the side effects. Cymbalta allows me to get through a day without anxiety, I rarely have to take my clonozapems. Ask your psychiatrist the next time you visit them, they will have a better idea of what route to go.
Avatar f tn Do you take all of your Armour at one time? Many people on desiccated medication find that it works better if they split the dosage, with 1/2 first thing in the morning, the other 1/2 around noon or so. This helps keep the T3 more even throughout the day. Always be sure to separate thyroid medication from vitamins, minerals or herbs by at least 4 hours.
Avatar m tn Medications and etc treatment have really affected all parts of memory now, side effects are always possible but only you and your son can decide whether the benefits that the medication give do not out weigh the the side effects you are getting.
Avatar m tn I was started on .088mg (based on weight) and had no obvious side effects until two weeks later when I suddenly had a panic attack. It was terrifying and a few days later I had another more mild one. I stopped the medication and immediately felt better for several days but then became exhausted again so I started on a lower dosage of .
Avatar m tn Most likely neither one is possible for me. If the drugs help with urination, I would remain on them and gladly take the side effects of sexual dysfunction. Currently I will have to decide whether I will remain with the suprapubic catheter or will have a surgery to alter the flow of urine. This would mean closing the urethra to the penis and having a dry stoma created on the abdominal wall that I can self cath again.
Avatar f tn t gotten any advice but I am thinking that keeping her on the recently upped dosage (less than a week ago the vet upped the dosage to attempt to control the seizures that were happening more frequently). I am thinking that keeping her on the recently upped dosage and not increasing the dosage again in less than a week was the right decision. She is coming out of her medication reaction somewhat and beginning to show her personality again.
Avatar n tn I have been prescribed Acebutolol for PVC's and I am literally exhausted since beginning this medication but I didn't see that as one of the side effects. Also, my vision is blurred. Is this normal?
Avatar f tn When I was on Zoloft I became VERY energetic (prehaps even slightly manic) when I first started to take the medication and had trouble sleeping. This lasted a few weeks. If you still suffer from these side-effects after a month, you should talk to your doctor as you may need a medication/dosage change. Did you have any trouble sleeping before the Zoloft?
Avatar m tn Well the Prostatitis recurred and coens and goes… I heard about the belt… reluctant to do the flomax hence the side effects…. It really does sucks….
Avatar n tn It took a little while for my body to get used to it; I would say that after a couple of weeks, the side effects really dropped off and after about a month or so, I did not notice them at all. Medications can sometimes be a little hit and miss depending on the person, but I usually advise patience with this. Has your doctor prescribed you a benzo for short term use while you start Zoloft? Many times he/she will prescribe one to help with the anxiety...keep us posted!
Avatar f tn Everyone reacts to medication differently. A medication that might work for me might be disastrous for you. You might have started at too high of a dose or increased your dose too fast, you might be on too high of a dose for your body or it might just simply be the wrong medication for you. I would inform your doctor of these side effects right away if you haven't done so already.
