Ok, guys...
1 month out from brachytherapy, and the expected urinary problems began at almost exactly the 2 week mark. I started on 1x .4mg Tamsulosin a few days prior to the treatment. However, at the height of the side effects, it got so bad on a Saturday afternoon that I could barely urinate at all....just a few dribbles, and pain from the pressure backing up. It was miserable. I resorted to calling the urologist on call, and he suggested upping the Tamsulosin to 2 capsules daily. That has seemed to resolve the problem, at least until the evening hours, until it's time to take the next dose. I've started noticing some ejaculation problems on the double dose. The 1 capsule daily didn't seem to have much effect in that area, but 2 certainly does.
I wondering how long those who've had BT, or RT, had to stay on the FloMax ? I was hoping to be able to come off of it at some point, not increase the doseage.
