I still have my tonsils, but I haven't had any problems with them that I'm aware of. I haven't been tested for sleep apnea so I suppose it's a possibility.
Have you tried taking part of your ingredients and seeing what effects you get? It's a complicated cocktail to just arrive at by accident
I've been a POIS sufferer for many years. Here's a bit of my history:3 major concussions in my youth, masturbated frequently from the age of 13, extremely shy and anxious since childhood. I started having headache/brain fog symptoms around age 25. My other symptoms include nausea, sinus congestion and tiredness. The brain fog is the worst part as communicating and focusing are difficult. Symptoms happen about one hour after ejaculation and last for days. The only time I can remember being symptom free is many years ago when my girlfriend went away traveling for a few months and I must have abstained or severely reduced my ejaculation frequency. I get less severe symptoms if I have sex but don't ejaculate. I have been taking an MOAI anti-depressant for the last 10 years to treat social anxiety and depression. I have sleep apnea which is being treated. The scan they took showed excessive fluid levels in my sinus cavities but nothing more was said about that from the doctor.Since reading this forum I have started taking Methionine, NAC (N - ACETYL CYSTEINE) and I'm about to start niacin. It's just been a week so no change yet.Hopefully a cure will happen soon!
Hi and welcome! I'm glad you introduced yourself. You definitely sound like you have POIS. The biggest thing that has changed my life in regards to POIS has been the use of the niacin flush before orgasm. That's the only real relief I have besides abstinence.You are the first person I know to be taking MAOI's. Those went out of style once they SSRI's came out, but are used when symptoms are so severe that it's worth dealing with the side effects. I have been dealing with depression for nearly 10 years as well as bipolar type II. I have unpleasant dreams with SSRI's, so I don't take them. I had to spend 3 years in hospitals and group homes to overcome my severe depression and intermittent psychosis. Have you ever been manic or psychotic? I take an antipsychotic every day along with a benzodiazapine for anxiety. Oh and lithium for bipolar (which actually is helping me with its antidepressant properties.Induce that niacin flush (like get HOT and RED!), wait 20-30 min after the peak, and then have your orgasm. I'm quite confident you will find relief!
I get headaches from taking the supplement l-arginine and also from hot tubs. These headaches are similar to a POIS headache. I thought these may be caused by vaso-dilation as my blood pressure in normally on the low side. I can't find any natural vaso-restrictors that would be safe with the phenelzine.What type of niacin and what dose is recommended before O?

90 %? So whats left?
What I've found that works consistently to speed up feeling "normal" again is blending (not juicing) the following: kale (about a cereal bowl full -- make sure it's organic -- look up the 'dirty dozen',) blueberries (about one handful), strawberries(4-6), 2 bananas, Hershey's cocoa (non-alkalized -- about two teaspoons,) 1 celery stalk (organic -- look up the 'dirty dozen',) baby leaf spinach (about half a cereal bowl - organic -- look up the 'dirty dozen',) red globe grapes (seeded, including the seeds, about 10-15 grapes) and a half red bell pepper. I generally make about 4 full mugs full and drink it in one sitting.
Also, I sent my saliva sample to 23andME. They said that I will have my results at the end of febuary.
I too can't handle l-arginine, as well as any of the supplements that upregulate the amount of dopamine in my body. Nor can I handle even herbs that increase nitric oxide production. Interesting?
