I would very much appreciate it if anyone who is on Rapaflo (Silodosin) would provide some comments on how well the drug works for them and particularly comments on side effects. If you have taken other alpha blockers such as tamsulosin and alfuzosin, comments on how those worked as well as side effects relative to Rapaflo would also be very appreciated.

I've been taking alfuzosin for about 18 months but now suspect that it is no longer working as well as before. Perhaps I should also consider switching to a PDE5I like Cialis.

    I started with Flomax, which immediately caused RE. I stopped it for a week, the RE went away. The doctor switched me to Rapaflo, which then also immediately caused RE. I stopped that and moved on to Uroxatrol for a few years, no side effects but also didn't help much. Now taking combo dutasteride + Cialis, and urinary flow is better, but not consistently so.
