Physiology & Medicine / Lack of Concentration After Orgasm: Lasts 5 days
« on: 18/02/2008 03:54:43 »
Hello all,
I'm 21, light (124lbs), and extremely fit. The problem is after ejaculation by means of a wet dream, masturbation, or anything else results in a lack of concentration (brain fog), poor memory, confusion, and fatigue. Basically, for 5 to 6 days it becomes extremely difficult to concentrate on anything, I simply cannot sustain a train of thought to think things through. I become extremely absent minded to the point where I forget I'm holding something in my hand causing me to drop it. Its extremely difficult to read, hold conversations, follow lectures, take tests, remember things, and learn things. I feel extremely tired and jittery, both physically and mentally. I also become depressed during this time. Its like being totally burned out in the head; much like how people after an epileptic attack are. Also, I get strong headaches after masturbation. Allow me to repeat, these symptoms last 5 to 6 days! So its having a huge affect on my life. I've gone to a neurologist, but he doesn't seem to know whats wrong. He prescribed an ssri, but only because I mentioned I get depression after an orgasm. I've gone through extensive blood tests for neurotransmitter levels, hormone levels, and so forth, but all results showed up normal, with the exception of prolactin being slightly high. Overall, it doesn't seem like the doctors around me are willing help. They're totally baffled.
These symptoms first appeared ever since I had my first orgasm at the age of 13, making this the 8th year I've been going through this.
If anyone has any idea of what I can do to fix this, or any information at all, please respond.
