"Took for a total of 14 weeks. Experienced extreme fatigue, rubbery weak legs, brain fog. Moderate improvement in flow increase, fewer night visits to bathroom, and absence of prostatitis type symptoms. Last week had an onset of tremors in my hands that was severe enough to create difficulties doing things like peeling fruit. Stopped taking and called urologist who defended the drug. Have not yet noticed any worsening of prostate symptoms after one week. Tremors still present but much reduced. I will keep the pills in case prostatitis returns to use as a last resort. Cannot be certain my negatative reactions were due to Alfuzosin, but they were coincidental and also very scary, especially the tremors"

"Took medicine for the first time last night. I'm now up at 3 with a migraine. It's extreme, right in the front, similar to a bad sinus headache. Ibuprofen isn't helping. After reading these comments I am going to stop immediately."

"Have been taking Alfuzosin for nearly a year now for bph, having previously tried Tamsulosin. Took two tablets a day originally but have recently reduced to one as dizziness started to become a problem. Side effects are much less than Tamsulosin particularly better ejaculation and no headaches. Urine flow on one 2mg tablet a day is more of an issue though and also getting more swelling in my ankles. I'm thinking of asking my GP to consider an alternative if one exists that can retain the benefits of alfuzosin but without the dizziness."

"Started my treatment with Alfuzosin 3 weeks ago. The effect was immediate with better flow, less congestion, and a feeling of complete emptying. The side effects were at their worst for days 1-3 but have subsided since then. The headache and fatigue were dominant. I don't see how I will be able to stop this medicine that delivers as expected. The reason for the medication is very weak flow with many interruptions and nocturnal visits to the toilet."

Uroxatral (alfuzosin) "Uroxatral seems to work very well. Erections are sometimes difficult but a small dose of Viagra seems to take care of that problem, when it becomes a problem."

Uroxatral (alfuzosin) "It worked well with the first dose, but the sinus headache, rubbery limb feeling, and upper respiratory scratchiness make it not worth taking."
