"The lack of semen freaked me out at first, but I got over it. It's like having a vasectomy, my friends tell me. But my erections are just as strong, and my orgasms are better."

"Just started this and like it so far. I keep waking up with morning wood, and my erections are harder than normal. Urine flow is slightly better, and bathroom trips are less."

"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!"

"Was using Uroxatral. Rapaflo seems to work about as well, but I also have experienced very little or no ejaculation - very strange sensation."

"I am 37 and have taken this for two weeks. It has improved my urinary symptoms but has caused a side effect that I am not pleased with, retrograde ejaculation."

"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 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 congested. 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."
