Many thanks, John, you're a hero in this forum! (i'm on Day 2 No Dairy!)

[John21 (OP)]

Jim, sorry it didn't work for you. Heck, maybe it didn't even work for me, perhaps it was something else entirely totally unrelated to diet that coincided. But I'm not going to test it, I'm staying far away from milk, I'll get my calcium elsewhere. Thanks for mentioning this as it might temper any false hope others put in the idea.

Also, did you go completely off dairy? milk, cheese, ice cream, butter... A lot of grocery store packaged foods have milk components as well. Just curious.

B_Jim, is the "cured" (with Zoloft) POIS individual here in this Forum? Or someone you know or read about? Can you tell us more about this individual? Thank you, demografx

[demografx]

If someone credibly suggested wild poison berries at this stage I might try it  []

[demografx]

it would still help to know _something_ (anything) about this Zoloft "cure"...this is MAJOR, it would be the ONLY one ever successful that we know about! Can you tell us anything at all about him? Thank you, demografx

[demografx]

well, B_Jim, if you can't say any more about The Zoloft Cure, I can't help but wonder where your strong opinion of dopamine and/or serotonin comes from.

[demografx]

so why can't you say something about the guy who was cured with Zoloft?

[demografx]

B_Jim, thank you very much for sending me a great list of symptoms for dopamine and for serotonin. Can you post that here? Others may be interested! Many thanks again, demografx []

ps - B_Jim, I'm very sorry if I was too anxious in finding out more. POIS is so frustrating as you know, it just makes me want to scream sometimes! So 100 years from now, people will be laughing at all of us saying something like "Don't those silly people know that they just need to eat more carrots for POIS?" []

[neilep]

LOL...wouldn't that be great about the carrots !!...try it !!


I just wanted to pop in and say hi peeps !..I wonder if there is something that you all have in common that might lead to a train of thought about it.....apart form the fact that you share the condition !

There may be a difference between a cure and the alleviation of symptoms. A cure would imply that the condition is gone and that no more meds is needed....whereas, alleviation may just suppress the condition but not cure it.

Anyway, It's nice to see everyone getting along so well and I can tell the passion for at least some way to control this horrible debilitating condition is strong. I truly wish you all well and hope that you are deriving some consolation from each other and also from the fact that others are reading in silence and are being helped by your openness and sharing.

hugs you all....

Neil

B_Jim..may I ask you ?...are you saying that this person you know was 100% cured ?...with Zoloft ? !!......and now needs no further treatment and is enjoying an active sex life ?.......

[demografx]

LOL...wouldn't that be great about the carrots !!...try it !!Neil

Neil, beware the deadly carrot correlation! Several very eminent researchers did a study long ago on 200 carrot eaters, and to everyone's shock, in the follow up, they discovered that they were all dead 150 years later! (I believe in sound scientific methodology such as this  [] )

[demografx]

Neil, many thanks for your words of encouragement! We'll lick this thing yet! Who can stop this group?

LOL !!..Love the carrot expiremnt ...it's just the kind of empirical research that I would conduct !!

demografx..I am just happy that in the thread, you and the others have found a place to discuss and debate about this unsusual and rare condition.

The more you talk abut it here the more others will find out about it..in fact just googling "post orgasmic illness " brings this site to the top of the pile !!....let's hope a solution is found...soon !!

[neilep]

What really upsets me is the fact that the only course of action is to be chaste !!...this is no solution at all !!...and must severely have relationship implications too !

Right you are, Neil, this last round of POIS suffering threw me for such a loop I'm trying hard as heck to stay away from the S-word for now. But LEVITRA holds promise!!! Perhaps someone here more gifted than I am in pharmacology can contribute why Levitra might work, then maybe we'll be on to something!

Multiple brains are better than one!!

It's ok, Neil, we all have the matter firmly in hand! []

TO B_JIM

B_Jim, Do you know if there is anything about Levitra that makes it potentially workable? Does it affect dopamine or serotonin?

Thanks,

CHASTITY

Hi all, well, I'm following the well-worn chaste route for just a little while. Perhaps part of my problem was too many experiments lately  []

C'mon folks, step right up and post a little more of your experience. We can all relate to that.

And it's therapeutic!

Best regards,

Some time ago I thought to myself, the cause of all this might be
drinking alcohol (almost) everyday for several years.
I had been drinking about 1000 CC beer everyday for 8 years before
POIS got me. Anyone else who drinks too much or too often?
