New Theories / Re: Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome (POIS)

Hi akt1. I'm appreciative of your well thought out theory. Many people on the forum, including myself, have had success with many of the supplements which convert Glutamate to Gaba. However I believe this is coincidental, because at least in my case, this theory doesn't hold water.
For starters, I used to take gaba pills. For months I took them. Didn't help my pois, however I liked the way it calmed me.
Even if gaba doesn't help me, your theory could still apply to too much Glutamate. However this doesn't work for me either
1) From everything I can see, my methylation appears to be optimal. I've performed blood work, looked at my genes, etc. Overall, I've thoroughly researched and reviewed my methylation pathways, and this is not a weakness of mine.
2) High glutamate would lead to a racing mind and insomnia. POIS has a nearly opposite effect in me. It makes me lethargic and clears my mind of all thought and then blocks my ability to think much at all.
Perhaps others have a different take?
