Comment from: 55-64 Male on Treatment for 6 months - 1 year (Patient)

with 6 months of treatment this has cut psa by over half. I'm taking this in conjunction with flomax and the reduction in sex drive and erectile problems are tough to deal with. But overall the problems with urination have disappeared. A tough trade off. Published: February 17, 2008 ::

Comment from: RN, 75 or over Male on Treatment for 1-2 years (Patient)

I am 77 years old, active and in good physical condition. Avodart reduce PSA from0.7 to 0.3, with a great price. My body hair all disappeared, hair on head was thinning, exacerbated ED (PDE-% drugs were not always effective), total disappearance of semen. Have been off for three months, all conditions are improving. Published: May 29, 2008 ::

Comment from: Non-erect, 65-74 Male on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

Been on Avodart for 5 months, positive results in urination problems and reduction in size of prostate. Am not pleased with the loss of sex drive and difficulty in attaining & sustaining an erection. VERY FRUSTATING to me and somewhat for my wife. While I am 66, until taking Avodart, we had an excellent sexual, love life. Sexual ability is almost non-existant now. Am considering not taking Avodart for a while and see what happens!!! Published: April 17, 2008 ::

Avodart did not produce an improvement in urine flow for me. However it reduced my semen quantity to almost nothing which I didn't like. Published: October 28, 2007 ::

Using product for 30 months, some improvement in urinating after 6 months. No noticeable change since, reduction in sex drive, semen, and lack of interest in sex. I have discontinued product as of this date. Published: October 31, 2007 ::

Comment from: 55-64 Male on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

Have been on Avodart for a little over four months. Have experienced loss of sex drive and an inability to achieve orgasm. Doesn't seem like the medication is improving my urinary symptoms. At my next doctor's visit, will be discussing with him discontinuing medication. Published: June 10, 2008 ::

Comment from: bar0546, 55-64 Male on Treatment for 1-2 years (Patient)

I ame 62 yrs old and retired, I had problems with urinating, needing to go right away and seepage. though the frequest urination and seepage has stopped (take with detrol) I found that my erections were difficult to attain and not as hard and the duration was very short, seman quantity was low also. (very fustrating for both of us) I took the meds for 18 months and stopped both meds now for 6 days and found erections were stronger and of longer duration I am amazed at the quick recovery. and I haven,t had any urinating problems. I suppose I will continue the meds if the condition returns. Its good to know that recovery of sexual drive and erection are possible..... Published: April 01, 2008 ::

Comment from: Aging Boomer, 55-64 Male on Treatment for 1-6 months (Patient)

Taking this medication as well as Flomax. Don't know which one is helping, maybe the combination, but PSA is down and urination BPH symptoms are vastly improved. All this in only two months. Published: January 01, 2008 ::

Comment from: Grandfather, 55-64 Male on Treatment for 2-5 years (Patient)

I really began to notice the positive change after 18 months of usage. I am now at the 24 month usage stage and am extremely pleased with the results. While I am not like I was 30 years ago, I am still getting better and better Published: October 30, 2007 ::
