I take the liquid saw palmetto caps and they do work for me...I remember it taking quite a while to work but I have been taking them everyday for about a year and a half and have had virtually no issues since.

Well I just got them in the mail will keep posted

^^ hope all goes well.

My Dr. prescribed the 5mg tabs, which I quarter myself with the pill splitter, giving the dose just a little over 1mg per day.

Do yourself a favor bhcolex, Go to the doctor.. I had the same issues awhile back and the only thing that cleared it all up was antibiotics and rapaflo

What the dose is for prostate?

I went with the 5mg ed

I know this is a month old, but what the hell. Go get checked out. PSA, and biopsy if the PSA is high enough. I was doing exactly what you are, trying to find an alternative and taking all sorts of shit. Well, it turned out to be prostate cancer. Caught it early enough that no surgery was needed, they used radiation. Killed the cancer, left the nerves so except for a short period during radiation, no urinary issues or long term ED. Hell I even am starting to ejaculate again after 18 months. The real upshot is don't mess around, get checked out. A really good mild med for enlarged prostate is called Terazosin. It can lower your BP, so watch that. It may mess up your erections at first, but then that goes away and actually improves them.

Just a thought.
