I've just posted on another thread (3am club) then found this informative thread. Thanks to all that have contributed, it's both helped and calmed me.
I'm a week in on tamsulosin. It's kinda interesting in that I am experiencing some side effects but I can't yet say it's doing what I'd hoped. The doc said it takes 2 to 3 weeks so I'll do that. If today was decision time then I'd pack it in.
Going for a pee is easier but tbh it wasn't exactly a problem before. Not what I considered a problem anyway, or was even aware of. Sadly, too easy and I emptied my bladder in bed the other night in my sleep. I would say it took me back' but believe me it wasn't nostalgia I was feeling. The misses was 'understanding' Hopefully, that's a one-off and my body will adjust. At the moment though, I'm getting up 2 or 3 times a night compared to the once pre tamsulosin.
