Only used this drug a few days. It has helped with urination but I get bad headaches and shakiness.

Comment:
Has worked pretty well for me, certainly better than nothing. Downside: reduces ejaculate and orgasm to next to nothing. Guess it's a "trade off". Been using for 3+ years now and will continue to do so. I quit taking it for about five days, and couldn't pee at all. I think you likely get dependent on it.

I had problems urinating which caused a great deal of pain. This medication has allowed me to urinate more freely and there is a great reduction of pain.

It caused my blood pressure to go below 80/45 which caused light headed feelings and no energy at all.
