Demo,Very nice for your balanced T and PSA blood test.For glucose I think your best card along with good diet is exercise. See this page : http://diabetes.webmd.com/guide/exercise-guidelines
Pronobis : You should take magnesium at least 3-4 weeks to have an improvement.
DOPAMINE RECEPTORSSeveral people here have already reported a form of attention deficit.It would be interesting to test us (maybe costly tests) for this genetic problem linked with dopamine receptors :It would be nice to find a pois gene!Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorderDopamine receptors have been recognized as important components in the etiology of ADHD for many years. Drugs used to treat ADHD, including methylphenidate and amphetamine, have significant effects on dopamine signaling in the brain. Studies of gene association have implicated several genes within dopamine signaling pathways; in particular, the D4.7 variant of D4 has been consistently shown to be more frequent in ADHD patients.[16] ADHD patients with the 4.7 allele also tend to have better cognitive performance and long-term outcomes compared to ADHD patients without the 4.7 allele, suggesting that the allele is associated with a more benign form of ADHD.[16]The D4.7 allele has suppressed gene expression compared to other variants.[17]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine_receptorFrom the same link above, in the paragraph "Dopamine regulation" it is said that a sharp decreases in dopamine can upregulate the dopamine receptors, if I understand well . So dopamine just before orgasm can eventually be too high causing our problems after orgasm. This could explain why fenugreek (which can decrease dopamine) can help pois. Sorry if all this has already been mentionned before.It would be great to have a follow-up with all the medicines to treat pois (fenugreek,5htp,phosphatidylserine,etc), like Demo is reporting with his testosterone therapy, or John with Garlic. So we could see if there's a long term efficiency...
Thank you for replying. Unfortunately I can't remember everything that they tested in the earlier endo visit, I just recall nothing being abnormal.
For some reason my muscle weakness etc doesn't gradually improve over time but after the 2-3 weeks all my strength returns in an instant.
Martin, I've had great success for three years now with Adderall XR (basically, extended release amphetamine salts) for (1) ADHD, and (2) depression. And (3) it's helped my POIS, too! No adverse longterm effects that I can see. It's been around over 50 years, so it has a lengthy study history. But it does have a potential for abuse in addictive personalities.

How much would you say Adderall decreases your POIS?
Very possible Martin, although I think it is more than just dopamine. I have tried methylphenidate. On the first day, I had increased focus, but the POIS was still obvious in the background. Repeated attempts just made me feel spacey. For me, and I think this is a really big clue, orgasm is like an "on" and "off" switch for these symptoms. I suspect this is true for others as well. (It took me a fair amount of experimentation to figure this out). To answer Demo's question, I'm not sure exactly why. I think orgasm is activating some neurological or adrenal function, and it can also de-activate this function.I think "hypersexuality" has been associated with adrenal adenomas, which could be another clue.

About the caffeine effect when you exercise I'm wondering if it could be this med Adderal which needs a dosage adjustment. Normally sport should have a calming effect!But I heard that sport has also a psychostimulant effect like coffee.(noradrenaline ?)
Hey guys, At the risk of sounding like a complete nutjob, I experienced something the other daythat stumped me. I masturbated without looking at porn, something I almost never do, and I happened to notice my POIS symptoms were almost nonexistant. Has anyone else experienced this? I know this doesn't make any logical sense, but it is what it is. I think I'm going to avoid porn for at least the next three whack sessions(it will be extremely difficult) and see how I feel. Being a believer, I must consider the possibility of spirtual issues as well. (all of you non-believers can roll your eyes and write me off if you'd like, I don't mind) Believing in Christ is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Ok, I'll stop preaching now. Sorry about that Does anyone else think that porn is the biggest waste of time and has no positive use? It really sucks to be addicted to something that's such a huge waste of time. Not to mention, it's pure brain rot. Honestly, it has done nothing but make my life complicated and miserable.
