Hytrin was the first blood pressure medicine that worked for me, without unacceptable side effects. The generic is extremely cheap, too--$4 per month at WalMart without even using my insurance.

I have been on the medication for about three days now and it has certainly caused my bp to drop - dramatically so. On average my bp is about 140/100; since adding Hytrin to the regimen, my bp has swung the other way and now averages about 112/70.

I have been on hytrin for about 15-20 years. I have been taking it so long I forget. It is the only drug that I have found that is good for my high blood pressure. Recently, I tried a new drug and I had a lot of side effects - so I wnet back on hytrin and I am happy.

Since starting taking this medication I had serious vision problems, liquid & weight retention, respiratory & cardio distress. About six days ago this medication very nearly killed me because of fainting and falling off a roof. This medication should be banned, it is extremely dangerous.

My husband died after taking 2 doses of hytrin. The doctor never asked if he had low blood pressure. He had a stroke and died within a month.The Dr. did not take my husbands blood pressure before giving him the sample pack.The only instructions were ( take one at bedtime every day until sample is gone)
