I have been taking 2mg of doxazosin for the past 2 years. My urgency to urinate has decreased drastically and getting up in the middle of the night happens occasionally. For me, when I sit for a long period of time, I have to go to the bathroom more often. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with this treatment with no side effects.

It doesn't seem to be working and I'm not sure how much damage it may be causing my internal organs. I really think most prescriptions are written so the doctor can get their 'kick backs', i.e., money from the drug companies...if it actually works for the patient...great!

I have been taking 4mg Doxazosin for maybe 10 years for a very enlarged prostate and it is effective in increasing my urine flow. I could not live without it. I take it at about 9 PM every night. If I take 6 mg it improves my night-time flow even more but it seems to lower my blood-pressure too much causing a weak feeling.

I find that the drug is ineffective in treating my prostate problem and I still have difficulty urinating.

I took this medication to help pass a kidney stone. It has truly been a wonderful God send.
