This drug worked on my BPH, making urination easier, but after extended use my blood pressure dropped to questionable levels and I started becoming light headed after minor physical activity

Comment:
Taking 1 mg for 6 months. Little effect on BP, increase in urine flow, decrease in night frequency. [I had TURP surgery 15 years ago.] When I first started taking it I had some dizziness and some increase pull rate, but no unpleasant effects now. I take it because another medication I take for pain causes enlargement of prostate that restricts urine flow. I may increase dose to 2 mg.

Tried many drugs; Hytrin, Flomax, Avodart but found doxazosin gave me the best result for BPH symtoms.
