B_Jim, Hurray, Demo,I buy the idea that at least one form of POIS is caused hormonally. Here is what could be going on. Simplistically: too much adrenaline is produced and has difficulty converting back to dopamine. Dopamine runs low, producing symptoms, and the excess adrenaline produces symptoms. Demo, Have you ever tried taking tyrosine?

Hurray, I now understand better your position on hormones I agree.Just curious, hurray, why you stress hormones over, say, neurotransmitters? (I do, too, but I can't explain why).
Hormones vs NeurotransmittersSimilarities:Both H and NT are packaged in vesiclesBoth are expelled from cell through process of exocytosisBoth bind with specific receptorsBoth depolarize target membraneDifferences:Hormones1) secreted by neurons and endocrine cells2) secreted into bloodstream3) travel nanometers to meters4) long latency of action5) no voluntary controlNeurotransmitters1) secreted by neurons2) secreted into synaptic cleft3) travel 20-30 nanometers4) action is generally immediate5) some voluntary control
has anyone done ECG, EEG, CT, MRI, blood pressure, glycemia, blood count, temperature, hormones right after orgasm?

has anyone done ECG, EEG, CT, MRI, blood pressure, glycemia, blood count, temperature, hormones right after orgasm?also has anyone looked at midodrine ?
I am considering (not at the same time) 5HTP, TMG (not an aminoacid but... hey.. :p), Theanine, Tyrosine, Arginine (all with B1 and B6) Also I have been taking Glutamine.Do you have any comments/experience with the amino acids mentioned above ?

Laurac, they found a "partially empty sella", which didn't seem to concern the endocrinologist at all. He was looking for tumors and found none.
