Even though most everyone here has either memorized the tinyurl, or has gotten used to searching "post orgasmic illness syndrome" in google when they want to get to the forum, I made another, just because it's easier.

tinyurl . com / poisforum

An one for the website as well:

tinyurl . com / poiswebsite

(take out spaces)

I don't know about you guys....but I am today 30 and POIS has already eaten up 6 years of my life.....the saddest thing however is that with all modesty, I believe that I am a guy with great potential and great natural gifts from God,,,,only out of 100 I am only able to use 20% of my potentials thx to POIS! And Iam sure that many of you guys are like me,,,,
 So I think u got the message my professional life is getting wasted (Currently unemployed, I actually fear employment now), my marital life is getting wasted (No wife, not even a possible prospect), my social life is getting wasted (No friends, don't ask), and even my Dog has been starting to stare at me in weird manners lately (No pets?)...I feel he's trying to tell me sometimes....: WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU MASTER?  I wish I could tell him....but Iam too tired, exhausted and depleted too try translating to him.....well that's the bad news....

The good news is that hope is the oxygen of life.....assuming an individual has a life of 70 years on average,,,,I still have 40 years in front of me if God is willing to make me live that long,,,,,,,,and guess what? There is even more! I have just declared WAR on POIS!!! And I shall not rest and as long as Iam alive till POIS is defeated....and shall do everything within my God giving powers and abilities to defeat it,,,,and I give you my word!

....and never mind the irony...i just thought that posting this message on this forum will perhaps make me feel better by speaking out and mostly making you guys witnesses to my commitment to not give up!,,, Thx again for listening...Peace.

.... & Good night.

Z_one, Happy Birthday! And congratulations on declaring War on POIS!!! That alone helped me enormously. I did give up a number of times (30+ years of POIS!), but I always renewed the fight. This is an exciting time. The POIS Beast is now out in the open, we have the forum, and neurochemical advances are here to stay. Keep fighting!

Just read a very interesting piece that describes what happens to our bodies when we O. This may be a hugh break in solving POIS:
When you ejac with O, the serotonin level in your brain (hypothalamus) temporarily shoots up, so you feel relaxed for a few seconds or minutes, followed by fatigue and exhaustion if the precursors (neurochemicals) of serotonin, acetylcholine and dopamine in the brain are insufficient for the continuous production of acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin. If you have enough neurochemicals for a continuous boost of acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin production after ejac, you can re-erect your P for the 2nd round of lovemaking. And therefore, you will last much longer in your 2nd round due to a high-level of serotonin in the brain's hypothalamus. However, if your neurochemicals are insufficient, you will feel exhausted, tired and sleepy minutes after ejaculating due to the rapid post-O/ejac drop of the neurotransmitters. If you repeat ejac before the neurochemicals are synthesized for your brain and nerves, your brain/nerves will lose their abilities to peak the acetylcholine, dopamine and serotonin levels up after each ejac or O. Eventually, you will experience sexual exhaustion in less than a month. The adrenal function goes dim due to a weak acetylcholine and parasympathetic nervous functions. The thyroid and testicular functions are slowed down by a weak dopamine nervous function. You will become depressed and cannot stand stress.

This would seem to explain why we feel fatigued, depressed, cannot handle stress and have low testosterone levels.And, why POIS slowly goes away over a period of days or weeks[as these levels slowly reurn to a 'normal range', only to be depleted at the next O.
 The good news, if this is accurate, is that all theses neurotransmitters can be increased by pills or suppliments
I am calling my doctor about this. I would urge all of you to do the same. Maybe, together, we can finally crack this case and end all this misery!

I have an appointment with a neurologist this wed. for a possible mri, I'm thinking about pre-"O"-ing but I really don't feel like going through that whole cycle again.  Every time Im in POIS my work production is down, so in college I am baasically useless during that time.
Quote from: Pablo445 on 16/11/2009 13:56:13
A quick question: I have noticed that the surface my tongue becomes whitish (not candida like) on POIS day 2-3-4-5 and then it clears up. Do you have the same observation? Although a seemingly small symptom it could actually mean a lot if it is a common observation.

Especially in the mornings I wake up with this all the time now, It never used to be this bad... Yet again I don't know if it is candida but many people do have it.  I showed my mom and she showed me that she also had it.

I feel the same way, like people are looking at me like I have done something wrong, like the world doesn't orgasm and if you do people hate you...( like the world doesnt masturbate [:o]...) haha sounds crazy but I usually say to myself that once I "O", I will be hated that day and the day after, (maybe something psychological that I am trying to place restrictions on my O, but idk),  this whole POIS thing is turning into a mental battle and sometimes I do feel like I am losing my mind.

I definitely think POIS has something to do with neurotransmitters...My parents ordered LUCIDAL for me, and it is yet to get here.  I will post back once it does get here and I test it out.

Interesting article....by the way...has anyone tried any of the Herbalove products ?
I haven't to date, even though the brand has become very popular around the world.,,,though I am still skeptical in what regards their safety.....I'll re-check their website as to check the kind of ingredients and blends they use....also most of their products are designed for sexual exhaustion....and one thing is sure...POIS definitely encompasses sexual exhaustion ! As such I believe it would be worth it to carefully examine their theories....

I am seeing my doctor on thursday, hopefully to talk him into giving me whatever is needed to raise the neurotransmitter levels. I will keep you guys posted as to his opinion/remedy.
I cant speak for all pois sufferers, but the article i posted previously describes exactly what i deal with, everytime I O. This has to be the problem, for me anyway.It makes so much sense now. I finally understand what is happening and why. Now lets see if my doc can reverse it. Keep me in your prayers guys!

Hi guys, I've been on "Relora" or "Restoria calm" for us down here in the southern hemisphere, for about one week now and I have to say the results are quite mind blowing. In my use of this anxiety drug I have found that with no orgasm and one tab a day I am very different! I'm different in a very positive way such as:
. reduced paranoia
. reduction of anxiety and there for greater calmness to relax and make jokes, hold conversation, think clearly, increased feelings and empathy toward others, better interpersonal skills.
. I feel like I'm a completely different person!
. My relationship with my wife has hit a high

Last night I made love to my wife for the first time in 4 weeks and it felt almost as special as our wedding night!

But unfortunately I am experiencing some bad POIS now as this is my first trial with the new drug and having sex.
Although while I'm feeling sick from the orgasms I think the brain fog and anxiety are significantly lower than normal! I believe that Relora or Restoria clam are very effective in helping us!

Thanks Paulie for that break down of chemical reactions when we "O"
I will definitly be looking into that further! It makes a lot of sense as the anti anxiety drug relora/restora calm is making a world of difference for me.

I bet he will advise SSRIs, and to that I say beware!

A question to all...

It may have been covered already but I did not see it through the hundreds of messages I read on the forum.

After orgasm, normally one feels like sleeping or relaxing. In my case almost all the time it is the opposite: my mind is racing at high speed as if I had been drinking strong coffee. That happens whether I have intercourse or with masturbation and also with NE.

Is it the same for you? Would that be part of the syndrome?  That kind of "wrong" adrenal response to orgasm could explain partly the exhaustion later.
