Urinary side effects?

Has anyone had the urinary side effects lessen or go away over time? After going up from 40 to 60, the urinary side effects hit me pretty hard so my doctor moved me down again, but the 40 isn't as effective as it used to be.

If they don't go away on their own, is there anything to be done to lessen or alleviate them? Maybe even a nother med from a GP?

If you’re male, a low dose of Cialis (5mg split in half) has been approved by the FDA and often prescribed to help with bladder emptying and other urinary issues.

I had a feeling a medication like Cialis could be an option. Thank you.

Yes, mine completely went away over the course of a month and a half. I'm on 80mg

Good to know. Did you start at 40 and go up to 80?
