Can anyone tell me the link to that place where you can request your own blood test? I've been lookin through the forum, but can't find it...and my pois isn't exactly helping any.I've ordered bacopa and fenugreek to give them a try.
Demografx scared me when he said it was advertised as a way for women to increase breast size. I'm going to wait and see if anybody gets breast...then I'll give it a shot:) I'll also ask the TCM doctor about fenugreek.
In this document about pde5 inhibitors, perhaps there is an answer concerning the differences between levitra (vardenafil) and cialis (tadalafil). They say that vardenafil have more potency than the other. And I'm not sure, levitra have a better affinity for pde 2,3,4,7,8,10,11 than cialis . What can we do with this. It won't be me ! http://www.andrologyjournal.org/cgi/reprint/24/6_suppl/S52.pdf

Martin, excellent finding, that was very interesting! I've wondered - and others here too, I think - about Levitra/Cialis differences. And now we know there is a difference!
On a different note, tomorrow I'm going to see a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. I'm going to get a full Diagnosis. I don't know what you guys all think of Chinese medicine but they have been at it now for about 2 thousand years so there has to be something to it. Maybe they will have an insight. Anywho, I'll let you know what they have to say about POIS.
The Fenugreek all but cured me. Hurray, thanks for the great advice.I've been keeping up with this thread for a while now, but I never felt the need to post. I simply didn't have anything to add to the discussion. My symptoms are typical of the ones this thread describes: for a couple of days after an orgasm, I can't sustain any thinking longer than a few seconds. Some slight depression also hit me during these post-orgasm periods.But now that the Fenugreek has proven that it can clear that oppressive brain fog, I just want to give my appreciation to Hurray. I probably would never have stumbled upon Fenugreek on my own.If anyone out there doesn't know which of the many proposed remedies to try, definitely give Fenugreek a try. I've been through three orgasm to post-orgasm cycles, and the Fenugreek has worked every time. After orgasm, there's only a slight sluggishness for an hour or so. After that, I'm back to being active and alert. Maybe three cycles isn't enough to prove conclusively that the Fenugreek isn't merely a placebo, but the Fenugreek has yet to let me down.
InteractionsInteractions with drugs, supplements and other herbs have not been thoroughly studied. The interactions listed below have been reported in scientific publications. If you are taking prescription drugs, speak with a health care professional or pharmacist before using herbs or dietary supplements.Interactions With DrugsFenugreek may interfere with the absorption of other drugs that are taken orally, and fenugreek should be used at least two hours before or after any prescription drug. In theory, fenugreek may increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulants (blood thinners) or antiplatelet drugs. Examples include warfarin (Coumadin), heparin and clopidogrel (Plavix). Some pain relievers may also increase the risk of bleeding if used with fenugreek. Examples include aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) and naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve, Anaprox).Fenugreek may lower blood sugar levels. Caution is advised if you are also taking drugs that may lower blood sugar levels. Patients taking oral drugs for diabetes or using insulin should be monitored closely by a health care professional while using fenugreek. Dosing adjustments may be necessary.Because fenugreek may lower potassium levels in the blood, its use with some diuretics, such as hydrochlorothiazide; mineralocorticoids, such as fludrocortisone (Florinef); or laxatives is not recommended because potassium levels may become too low.Several other drugs interactions have been suggested, but there are no data in humans proving that these interactions exist. Fenugreek may increase the side effects of monoamine oxidase inhibitors or estrogens, may alter the effects of thyroid hormones, may increase the toxic effects of digoxin (Lanoxin) or may inhibit the activity of corticosteroids, such as prednisone. Interactions With Herbs And Dietary SupplementsVery few interactions between fenugreek and herbs or supplements have been reported. Fenugreek may lower blood sugar levels. People using other herbs or supplements that may alter blood sugar levels, such as bitter melon (Momordica charantia), should be monitored closely by a health care professional while using fenugreek. Dosing adjustments may be necessary. In theory, fenugreek may increase the risk of bleeding when also taken with other products that are believed to increase the risk of bleeding. Examples include Ginkgo biloba and garlic (Allium sativum).Although not studied in humans, fenugreek may, in theory, increase the toxicity of glycosides, such as foxglove, or of agents with monoamine oxidase inhibitor properties, such as St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum). Fenugreek may also increase the laxative effects in people who use agents such as psyllium or may increase the estrogenlike effects in those using phytoestrogens such as red clover (Trifolium pratense).
I took fenugreek when I was in my mid twenties but it's frustrating, I didn't notice it was so helpful. There was a slight improvement of pois symptoms but not enough. Maybe I'm not a typical case of pois and I have mixed diseases along with pois so I'm not a reference.
I'd like to know how can you know that oxytocin is the effective ingredient from fenugreek ?From the Waldinger's paper :A few studies in males and females have shown that during and after orgasm prolactine and oxytocin concentrations are increased ANDHowever, oxytocine has been suggested to negatively interfere with cognitionI took fenugreek when I was in my mid twenties but it's frustrating, I didn't notice it was so helpful. There was a slight improvement of pois symptoms but not enough. Maybe I'm not a typical case of pois and I have mixed diseases along with pois so I'm not a reference. Also my fenugreek pills had sugar around them, I couldn't find an other brand. I think fenugreek has other properties : it lowers potassium and blood sugar level. Remember Finally's post, he's better with salt which is decreasing potassium, and one of my post states I'm aggravated by vegetables (in pois), however if I'm sexually abstinent I'm improved with vegetables. There is a link between adrenals and potassium/sodium.It's written below, do not take St John's Wort with fenugreek (I know some of you take this). And also with garlic there is a risk of bleeding for some people !VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT FENUGREEK:QuoteInteractionsInteractions with drugs, supplements and other herbs have not been thoroughly studied.

Just to keep everyone up to date, my results from Relora are still great. I had an orgasm last night, slept fine -- no cold sweats or waking up every hour. I still feel "normal" and this was my four orgasm in one week. I would highly recommend Relora if you suffer from mental anxiety and confusion/brain fog after orgasm.
