Silodosin
Has anyone tried Silodosin? From what I gather it has similar benefits as Flomax and the like but without the low blood pressure/dizziness. But the wikipedia entry says that it is being considered as a male birth control pill as it can stop ejaculation??? Any danger in stopping ejaculation? I tried one uroxatral pill and was floored for 24 hours with dizziness and fatigue. I would like to give the alpha blockers a fair shot, but can't handle those kind of side effects.
Age: 39 | Onset Age: 17 | Symptoms: Constant feeling of needing to urinate felt in the tip of penis. Frequency. Urgency. None of the typical pain associated with CPPS. | Helped By: Valium, Klonopin, and very hot baths, followed by lying down still/doing relaxation. Also made almost symptom free for a few seconds following a bowel movement. | Worsened By: stress, anxiety, skipping meals, lack of sleep, extended sitting, coffee, alcohol. NO other pain or discomfort although after ejaculation symptoms will usually get worse unless I lie still for 20 minutes or so. | Other comments: Symptoms began at the moment of ejaculation, disappeared after a few months and then returned a few months later and have not gone away since.

Re: Silodosin
I think this depends a lot on each person's body. Rapaflo made me sleep for like 12-14 hours, but Uroxatral gives me essentially no side effects at all. I'm sure you could find someone on here who would say the reverse.
