"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 has worked great for me. I used to use Flomax and my doctor switched me. I feel so much better and don't have the dizziness I used to have with Flomax."

"For me it works fair. At certain times of the day I still have difficulty starting the urine stream. I am sure I will have to have surgery before long."

"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. "

"Reduction in urination frequency has been a welcome effect however retrograde ejaculation and congestion have been unwelcome side effects."

"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."
