I have taken flomax every other day but noticed my balance was still off, so now I'm trying to take a capsule apart and take a1/4 in a capsule every other day to see if I can get the benefits of not having the urge to pee so often but keeping my balance.
That's not very much Flomax. Even the normal dose doesn't help that
much.
It affects your balance?

I started tamsulosin ("Flowmax") -- taking it on going to bed.
I seem to experience a low morning blood pressure and lethargy.
(my blood pressure tends to be low anyway)
I have shifted to taking it in the morning, so it is at a lower blood
level when I rise in the morning. Seems better.
Does anyone have experience with taking a flomax pill every other day?

-- some snipping --
Tried it. OK for a month or two but then was getting up too often.
Now back to prescribed one-a-day in the morning and get up 2 or 3
times -- tolerable. (I'm 95; no sign of cancer; moderately enlarged.)
I take Flomax (tamsulosin), 0,4 mg once daily in the AM, and Avodart (dutasteride), 0.5 mg once daily in the AM.
The combination of both
eventually worked great for me. I used to get up 2 or 3 times at night
and now I usually do not even get up once during the night.
The Avodart (dutasteride) is supposed to shrink the prostate and it can
take 3 to 6 months to really be fully effective. I noticed some
improvement in about 3 months but I didn't seem to get the real max
benefit until about 8 or 9 months of use.
So, consider adding Avodart (dutasteride) if you haven't already done that.

I have low blood pressure (105/55) that makes me feel weak in the
morning. Flowmax reduces blood pressure. The level of Flowmax is at
a minimum just before taking a pill so my "just before" is in the
morning.
That doesn't make complete sense to me but I'll give you the benefit of
the doubt that it makes your Flomax usage easier on your system.
I was wondering though if you thought that taking both the Flomax and
Avodart in the morning, rather than at night, helped more with your *BPH* symptoms.

I took Rapaflo for 2 years and then realized that walnuts worked better. Stopped taking the Rapaflo January 2016.

Besides tamsulosin:
I have taken saw-palmetto longer than I can remember.
I have been taking beta-sitosterol for more than a year. It is not
expensive, sold as a cholesterol reducer, but is said to be -- like dutasteride -- a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor.
I have posted a list of BPH drugs at: http://frontal-lobe.info/bph/bphdrugs.html
What works? what doesn't? lots of literature googleable.
It's a free-for-all not free.
I took Rapaflo for 2 years and then realized that walnuts worked better. Stopped taking the Rapaflo January 2016.
Sounds good. What is your walnut "prescription" ? (maybe in ounces
per day or cups per day)) I want to try it.

I'd say I eat maybe 1 cup per evening. I know that's quite a bit but it works and nothing else worked as well with NO side effects.
