Comment:
BPH was originally treated with Tamsulosin but benefits were outweighed by side effects. Dr switched me to Doxazosin 2Mg for 1 week then 2Mg 2 X's per day. Very satisfied both with urinary flow, barely noticeable nasal congestion and improved BP results. Occasionally only dose at 2Mg daily depending on timing of doses.

I have an enlarged prostate, and I am tired of peeing 4-5 times a night. I was prescribed 1mg per day of doxazosin (weakest dose). I have taken it in the evening the last 3 days. Night 1: slept through the night. Night 2: slept through the night. Night 3: got up twice to pee. There is no doubt this stuff works. However, my main concern is the side-effects that makes me feel a bit tired and somewha ... Show Full Comment

I took the drug at 2 mg for 4 days, 4 mg for 4 days and then worked my way up to the full 8 mg dosage, which I took only two days. After taking this drug only 10 days, I was 100% impotent, even with taking Cialis at a double-dose. I don't know how much longer this is going to stay in my system, but I'm dropping it. By the way, during most of those 10 days I had the most God-awful heartburn ... Show Full Comment

By the way, during most of those 10 days I had the most God-awful heartburn imaginable. I took Tums and Pepcid by the handful and still could not get rid of the heartburn. I was hoping this would help me reduce my use of Cialis, which is so expensive and which I was using primarily for BPH and not to get an erection. Now I need it for the latter.

Urologist initially prescribed 4 mg daily to be taken at bedtime for BPH. Could not tolerate it because it caused swelling in my nose with difficulty breathing in middle of night. Switched to 2 mg morning and evening and side affects acceptable. Satisfactory improvement in BPH, but much more impressed with blood pressure results. Dropped my blood pressure from about 135/80 to 115/70. Was neve ... Show Full Comment

Switched to 2 mg morning and evening and side affects acceptable. Satisfactory improvement in BPH, but much more impressed with blood pressure results. Dropped my blood pressure from about 135/80 to 115/70. Was never totally satisfied with my 135 blood pressure, but my GP said it was okay. He is nervous about Doxazosin side affects (fainting), but can't quibble with results. All-in-all, quite satisfied

Comment:
79 Yrs old. Have taken Doxazosin for many years. Now at 8mg daily. Side effects seem to be daytime dizziness, poor balance, diminished libido, daytime sleepiness. New supply by Dava Labs does not seem to be working as previous mfr.Not a good urine flow. Has anyone noted a less effectiveness with a new supplier?
