Rapaflo (silodosin) "Yes, it helped my urinary flow but the dry ejaculation and lower sex drive are a deal breaker for me! I'm going back to Flomax or using nothing. I really like sex!"

Rapaflo (silodosin) "Rapaflo works great for me. No really significant side effects. Don't have the sex anymore, just a wonderful understanding wife. Sex is not everything. I would rather have the flow."

Rapaflo (silodosin) "Rapaflo works just as well as Flomax in terms of flow and I don't get as dizzy or conjested. It felt weird having no ejaculate and my orgasm was not as intense as it was with Flomax. "

Rapaflo (silodosin) "The retrograde ejaculation (no semen) and decreased libido are not worth the benefits for sexually active men. If these side effects are of no concern then try it but I hated it."

"It works as advertised. I don't get up at night after having 3 or more trips before taking it. It stops you from ejaculating so just be aware."

"This is very effective for increasing my stream flow and reducing frequency. However, it has affected my ability to ejaculate which I hope is temporary."
