New Theories / Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome (POIS)
« on: 04/09/2011 16:30:09 »
Hi everyone. I've posted on here briefly some time ago but not much since. I kind of avoided thinking much about POIS as I have other issues going on in my life.
My POIS was triggered by starting on an SSRI medication. I don't know how or why, but I never noticed having this problem prior to taking it. I take Escitalopram. I also know of someone who took Citalopram who suffered brainfog after orgasm.
My symptoms are mainly attention difficulties, difficulty focusing, aswell as motivation problems. It is very hard to be around people when in this state. I get minor body aches too.
I think in my case it may be connected to the SSRI depleting my dopamine levels, which get further depleted after orgasm. Just my guess.
So, from what I can see reading the last few pages, niacin seems popular? Can this be taken after an orgasm?
