I became impotent in just a few days.  I had been on flomax 2x daily for 
several years
with no problems whatsoever.   I still had to go all the time.

I started taking, on the advise of a nutritionist, Soloray Prostrate 
which includes
quite a few ingredients other than Saw Palmetto, as well as 100 mg of 
chelated Zinc.
It very quickly made a huge difference. I was getting up only 1 x a 
night.  I could drive
2 hours without a stop.  These type of things were unknown.

I went back to my original urologist, who said surgery was not needed, 
(another
urologist said I had a life threatening condition)  for me, the studies
on Saw Palmetto are great, to stay with it, and my biggest problems are 
musculature,
which flomax is designed for.
