I have used this for only about 4 months and it has done wonders for me. I am able to sleep throughout the night without waking up 2 or 3 times to use the bathroom. The only side effect for me is the dry mouth.

Answer/Reply:

flomax does make my nose run and detrol is causing vertigo and
dizziness. I just started detrol so i will give it a little more time for
my body to get used to it. Otherwise i have to tell my doctor that i
have to stop using it.

Has anyone had side effects from this med, such as vertigo ?

Answer/Reply:

i started to get slight dizzy spells. I did not think that Detrol was the
cause until i looked up its side affects.
I will keep using it for another week or two and if the sudden vertigo
and dizziness still happens then I will stop using it.
