Suggest Dosage For Rapaflo

I (77 years in good health) just starting consuming Rapaflo (8mg/day @ bedtime) for weak stream urination issues. The drug seemed to help almost immediately, what if I take only 1 capsule every two days? I am a runner and have read where the drug can cause breathing issues and a drop in blood pressure. Am a better of with living with the a weak stream? Thanks, Leon
