doctor doctor!

My 12-year-old-lookin doctor today gave me FLOMAX, which is supposed to relax my arteries and urethra and make this monstrous hound of calcified urea that's taken up residence, uninvited I might add, begin its final descent down to fresh air.

So I took one (sample, so no real info) and THEN looked it up on the Internet. Here's the scoop:


Stop using tamsulosin and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
penis erection that is painful or lasts 4 hours or longer;
severe dizziness; or
fainting.

[so watch out gals! If you see me comin atcha at a dizzying pace with a raging erection, just hope I faint before I get hold of your fleshly charms!]

[wow. that felt weird. REALLY weird!]


Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue using tamsulosin and talk with your doctor if you have any of these side effects:
mild dizziness or drowsiness;
sleep problems (insomnia);
abnormal ejaculation, [I'd label any level of ejaculation fairly abnormal. And yes, I know there are women ejaculators. I'm happy to report I am NOT one, thanksverymuch]
decreased sex drive;
or
runny or stuffy nose.

Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
