jferr, I can relate to what you said about being paranoid around people. I guess you can call this social anxiety. I believe it is probably some guilt-type reaction that your subconscious sets off after orgasm. Sort of like you sense that people know what you did. I usually get this after having orgasmed, especially to porn. That is why I try to stay away from porn. I don't really get the effects if i just masturbate without any material. You don't have to look at porn to masturbate, but you can masturbate without looking at porn. If i do get this feeling,I will have the anxious feeling for that day and maybe the next, the day after that it goes away. After discovering Niacin I am a lot better too, but I also make the mistake of taking niacin after O because I really do not plan my orgasms.

The best results have come from recent use of niacin. Hope everyone had happy holidays.They're relatively cheap so I take both. 2 ZMA supps at night and the niacin first thing in the morning to get a good flush. Throw in a high strength multi-vitamin & mineral (I use the Quest one if that isn't breaking forum rules) for all my other vit needs and 4g of Vit C during the day and I feel almost bouncy. Actually, I'm still remembering quite vivid dreams and waking up much happier. And that's in a 7 day period where for various reasons, all of them good , I ended up having 3 O's. So I broke my own rules & still feel good.

I remember experiencing no symptoms. But my question is why does the Niacin really only work pre-O as opposed to post-O?
jferr, how long have you been battling POIS? For me the paranoia was also there mostly all the time, but the longer I have battled POIS the less severe my symptoms have been and the shorter duration they have lasted. I also believe it to be some neurochemical hangover or imbalance. Over just about 3 years I've managed to bring my POIS down from lasting about a week, to just about a day. I am saying that maybe if you just realized about POIS that you may need to wait some time before your "constant symptoms" gradually lessen in severity.
If the sophisticated testing you did includes things I somehow haven't tested for it would be greatly appreciated to get a list of the items to present to my doctor, If you wouldn't mind.

Do you (and others who take it) take Niacin every day or just before an O?I've been taking Niacin about twice every week, once on Sunday, and once on Wednesday or Thursday. I still need to see the difference between taking it pre-O versus post-O. I've only been taking it post-O and that does not do as much as I would like. I'm pretty sure I have taken it pre-O maybe once on a Thursday morning and I O'd on a Thursday night. I remember experiencing no symptoms. But my question is why does the Niacin really only work pre-O as opposed to post-O?
I just spoke on the phone with the center at Harvard.http://alzheimersweekly.com/content/alzheimers-disease-research-center-harvard-medical-school They want me to put together an email describing the correlation between POIS, relatives who have Alzheimers, and the similarity in mental symptoms one gets from POIS to the symptoms one gets from Alzheimers.This is who I am to send the email to:http://madrc.mgh.harvard.edu/liang-yap-phdSo I am going to ask one last time, just in case, do any of your relatives, for those who have POIS, have or had Alzheimer's? If you dont know for sure, please check and post here if so. After a few days I will compose the email and send it out.
POISers who had parents/grandparents/close family members with Alzheimers:Kurtosismartin88hurrayDefsyncIs there anyone else? This is enough for me to contact an Alzheimers research center at Harvard about this "coincidence" in hopes that some correlation may bring insight to either condition.
Happy new year ! (Inappropriate ? )

If we can make as much advance this coming year as we have this year, I'll be a happy man. If we can actually reach our donations goal, I'd have to take niacin all year!!Have a POIS free New Year. I "celebrated" last night, and thanks to niacin, I'll even be enjoying a late New Years party tonight!!
