I use flomax (tamsulosin) for bph. Some doctors on your site say to use saw palmetto - some say not to use but to use super beta prostate. Which is best and why?

I have bph, I have been on Flomax for two months or so. It does help with the urine flow, however the side effects are killing me. Light headed, brain fog, sometime dizzy etc. I work out everyday but feel lousy. What is this doing to my body? Thanks?
