Any men here take Flomax and/or a product called ProstaGenix?
I started taking Flomax in August of last year, due to bladder spasms I was having in the middle of the night. Those spasms were really starting to hurt! I think the spasms came from getting the radiation therapy for my prostate cancer. Anyway, my Oncologist, where I was getting my radiation therapy, prescribed a medication to me for the spasms, but I got a bad stomachache from the first dose, so stopped taking it. I talked to my 1/2 brother and he told me he was on Flomax. So, I had my Oncologist order me a prescription of it. Started taking 30 minutes after I ate breakfast, but dizziness hit me pretty bad an hour or so later. So, I switched to taking the Flomax 30 minutes after supper and every-other day, instead of daily. Even then, it made me pretty sleepy, but it was bedtime anyway. My bladder spasms stopped, but I was still getting up a number of times to urinate during the night.
I found ProstatGenix on Facebook and it's sold on Amazon. I read that it can be taken with Flomax, but why do that when the product is supposed to be similar to Flomax. ProstatGenix gets some great reviews, but as we all know, not all products work on all people.
I try not to drink (not any kind of alcohol or coffee at all) too much after 6PM, but that doesn't always work. I would ask my Oncologist about this product, but he is so "laid back" with his advice, he'd probably just say "try it". Another thing: I tried stopping the Flomax altogether, however only made it to three days.
And, just to mention this, my wife is now on a medication to help her control her bladder. She can also get up multiple times a night to urinate. We don't require a full night of sleep, just better sleep than we've been getting.
