George,
I would contact your doctor about what you should do. You should never stop taking a prescription medication without first contacting your doctor.
Why did you come off the Flomax? If it was because of cost, talk to your doctor about switching to a generic medication that may be similar to Flomax. Although Flomax is not available in generic form, there are a few similar medications that are available in generic that you could try for a fraction of the cost. If you stopped because of a side effect, you may again want to try another medication.
Best of luck,

Not passing urine for 2 days is an emergency and needs to be taken care of immediately. I am uncertain as to why the Flomax was stopped. It is pretty obvious however, that you have obstruction of the prostate and need evaluation with a urologist.
