Xatral side effects - questions

Post by gl0342 »

Hello

My first time in this forum. Thanks to Webslave and all others for maintaining this highly informative website.

Did any one of you had the following side effects with Xatral:

1) Dizziness throughout the day and impaired balance while walking (not just after taking the pill)?

Did this go away after some time?.

I have been suffering from this for the last 4 months (out of 5 months taking Xatral) but I am not sure this is the cause (and I am afraid to discontinue - I tried once, pain/urinary symptoms came back immediately with full strength).

2) Tinnitus - constant ring in both ears. I found one report in the Internet, but this is not an "official" side effect reported.

Will be happy to learn about your experience.

Many thanks!

In fact, I found a little more about tinnitus/ringing in the ears during Alpha-Blocker therapy.

many others....

Anyone in the forum with similar experience?

As well as continuous problems with balance (not just after taking the pill, and not going away after some time)?

Thanks
