Comment:
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.

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.
