sparx, there have been cases of 100% recovery. You will see references to this if you read this thread from the beginning again. Someone (with POIS) was given Zoloft for depression. Supposedly it did not cure the depression, but there was a 100% recovery from POIS.Perhaps that is not a 'cure', but it is a 100% treatment, in any case, for that person. There may have also been a case where someone used Wellbutrin and recovered from POIS. (This would make sense if POIS were primarily caused by dopamine depletion).
I'm seriously considering Wellbutrin (Zyban) to see if its effects on POIS brain fog. Just a little hesitant though, because the possible side-effects look a bit scary and it would have to happen in a systematic way over several weeks to really understand its efficacy (meaning also, that if it doesn't work or takes time to kick in I could be fogged for weeks - not an appealing thought).
If anybody is interested i found a connection between asexuality and high prolactin.On a Dutch site "http://www.lydiavanderweide.nl/viva/artikel.php?pArt=017" i found out:"Wanneer bij mannen of vrouwen het lichaam bijvoorbeeld veel te veel prolactine produceert - het hormoon dat bij vrouwen wordt afgescheiden die borstvoeding geven - zijn zij op geen enkele manier te prikkelen en ervaren geen zin of lust. Dit hormoon zet de sexuele thermostaat namelijk op nul."Wich translates as:"When the body of men and women produces to much prolactine - The hormone that is excrated by women who breast feed - they are in no way susceptible to libido and they have no interest in sex. This hormone sets the sexual termostate to 0."Given the fact that men are known to masturbate on average every 3 days. And the people here can often go without sex to up to a month without major problems. This might be an indication of high prolactin.Of high prolactin, and acompanying low dopamine, it is known to cause symptoms similar to the once described on this forum and here:http://www.reuniting.info/science/sex_in_the_brainWhich might be an indication that post orgasmic symptoms are a form of asexuality. The body does not want sex and if you do it anyway it reacts badly.
my POIS is similar to things I do that deplete my adrenaline, like playing soccer or rugby for more than 2 hours, I get very tired and sometimes nauseas, dehydrated. if anyone plays tennis or squash or does very physical extreme sport for more than 3 hours, tell us if your feelin the day afterwards is similar to POIS. I guess if you are fit, then your POIS is also not as bad as the days when you were unfit? With fit I mean trained to endure long physical activity, and good lung pump to muscular and nervous system.A good indication may be: does POIS make your legs and arms stiff. Like you feel you cannot stretch them easily?
Demografx: I don't see why Levitra would be more or less dangerous depending on whether the person taking it had ED?
Michael,I'd like to know if you have other sources mentionning differents ranges than conventionals for hormones. Also, is there a place where i can read about the top 5 labs ? I believe that lack of testosterone or problem with testosterone utilization is involved in pois but i'm concerned about side effects of T replacement. For example testicles shrinking (at least it's hormone cream savings !). What can you do for this ? http://www.healthboards.com/boards/showthread.php?t=173268A solution can be to take clomid to restart your own production of T but the whole thing seems to me to be a risk. http://www.saanabolicreview.co.za/clomid.htmlPlease keep us informed about the planned tests you mention in your post, i'll apreciate.In the link posted by Sparx http://www.alternativesmagazine.com/36/robinson.htmlit's written : "after sexual satiation there is a drastic reduction in androgen receptor density". Does someone know more about these androgens receptors ? This theory can explain why only the first shot of T was effective for Demografx. (or placebo you're right Demografx !)I know about 5 alpha-reductase deficiency which is causing lack of DHT (an androgen responsible for secondary sexual characteristics)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-alpha_reductasePerhaps it's the androgen receptor mentionned above.
