Vertigo and tamsulosin
Posted , 6 users are following.
I had previous bouts of Vertigo, possible 1 case a year. I was on tamsulosin for 30 days and had 3 cases of vertigo, but didn't put 2 and 2 together. Went off of drug for 2 weeks and went back on it. I took 1 pill and set off my Vertigo again. Has anyone else had similar problem?

It would be interesting to know if anyone has experienced any other long term side effects. I am slightly worried abt this since my GP tells me that I will need to keep taking Tam for BPH

dizziness, drowsiness, weakness;
nausea, diarrhea;
headache, chest pain;
abnormal ejaculation, decreased amount of semen;
back pain;
blurred vision;
tooth problems;
fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms.
I always read the leaflet that comes with any drug so that I am aware of any possible adverse reaction so know to stop and go back to my GP.
I am careful which generic make of tamsulosin i get given by the pharmacy as one I have taken gives me a headache but two others I have had are OK.

I had been on tamsulosin for some 10 years and it worked well for me and but in my 9th year of using it, I had an unexplained episode of dizziness but didn't draw the connection at the time. I got checked out by a doctor but couldn't find any problems. It took over a week or two to disappear on its own accord and now wonder if it was the pills. I've had a HoLEP procedure now and so am not taking any pills at this time, Oh bliss!
