I’m now contacting you again because I really really want to cure my severe premature ejaculation and on top of that I am also experiencing general anxiety and negative thoughts a lot lately, probably because I started masturbating again every week for the last 3 months or so. I’m now gonna tell you my situation and history so you hopefully can help treating my sexual exhaustion. I’m 20 years old and ever since I became sexually active little over 2 years ago I’ve ejaculated prematurely (most often within 1 minute or less of intercourse). During oral sex I last slightly longer I’d say. I’ve always had and still have a very high libido (it’s too high and I really feel like sex/ejaculating is an addiction or something I need to do). I’ve never experienced any erection problems at all but my premature ejaculation is killing me. I can easily go for a second round or third round immediately after ejaculating and those rounds I wont experience premature ejaculation and will have to force myself to ejaculate – however if an hour or more passes after ejaculating and I then have sex I will experience slight premature ejaculation again.

I’ve tried hypnosis, reading multiple e-books on the subject, kegals (which only worsened my issue), numbing sprays and SSRI which I only took for 2 days because it had some nasty side-effects. I’ve only had sex with alcohol in my blood once but that seemed to give me a bit more control over my ejaculation.

Ever since I was a kid (10-12 years old I’d guess) I’d masturbate quite often. Sometimes twice daily. I don’t do it twice daily anymore, but I probably ejaculate more than 6-8 times a week. The symptoms I seem to have of sexual exhaustion is severe premature ejaculation, excessive sweating (not always but often) mood swings, general anxiety (especially social anxiety) and constant fatigue/weakness. Just to give you some more insight to my current situation you should know what supplements I take at the moment and have been taking to try and cure my premature ejaculation. I’ve been taking different dosages of 5-HTP almost continuosly since September last year – this has not done anything for me at all, if anything it seems to make me a bit more anxious. I still take it though. Ive taken different dosages from 50 mg to 200 mg which I do take now from the supplement company called NOW. I also take 500 mg. L-Tryptophan along with the 5-HTP. For the last week or so I’ve been taking l-methionine (around 1000-1500 mg a day) along with B6 (around 30 mg a day) and vitamin C (2 g. a day) and calcium (800 mg a day) and magnesium (400 mg a day). I have been taking those supplements due to undermethylation. I namely had an allergy test this year and had VERY high histamine and my doctor then prescribed an antihistamine which I only took for 14 days since it didn’t help alleviate symptoms like stuffed nose (which I have all year round) and such. So I read about high histamine or undermethylation and those supplements I described before is usually given to people who are undermethylated – therefore I’ve taken them the last week now but haven’t really noticed anything yet in terms of improvement, it should however also take a bit of time to notice improvement.

Furthermore I want to let you know that I two years ago learned myself to ejaculate without hands (it was via a hypnosis recording). I’m saying this because it perhaps can have messed up my brain chemistry? I don’t know but just wanted to say it just in case you can use the info to help me. I don’t do that anymore and haven’t done in about 1,5 years now I’d say.

Also, when I masturbate I always make sure I last more than 10 minutes in hope of retraining my ejaculatory reflex – so when I masturbate I edge but as I can read here it’s bad so I will stop that of course. During masturbation I also have to slow down or stop so my premature ejaculation is also noticable there, however it’s way worse during sex.

Also, I experience wet dreams if i haven’t ejaculated for some days sometimes I do it even though I ejaculated the day before.

Another big contributing factor to my premature ejaculation is my pelvic floor – it is very tense. Every time I just touch my penis and especially the frenulum my PC muscle spasms and tenses up until I don’t touch it. This causes an ejaculation to occur way faster than it should and I can’t control those spasms at all – it’s like a hard involuntary kegel. Also I have a slight pelvic tilt and thus I often suck in my stomach so it is not looking like a beer belly (im not overweight at all however my stomac is still far out if im standing relaxed) and this sucking in my stomach when I walk and stand up is something I’ve done for many years – perhaps it has made my pelvic floor tight and tense?

I’ve always been an anxious person and this issue has definitely made that worse and I really hope you can help me.
When you started helping me last time you said I should take a 30 day period with no sexual activity then a week where I ejaculated once (as far as i remember) and then another 30 day period of abstinence to be cured. This should be done while taking Fish oil, 5htp, gaba, multi-apha and alpha amino.

I never managed to be abstinent for more than 13 days and I still have all the same problems. What do you suggest me to do this time around?

Also if you suggest me to take some supplements (perhaps it could benefit not taking anything at all, just to not put any stress on my system) does it then HAVE to be the ones from this site or is it okay to purchase elsewhere? It gets expensive when ordering here because of taxes since I live inside of EU. And if I have to keep taking 5htp can I continue with the supplement I’m using now or is 200 mg too much? Perhaps you find it’s not ideal for me to use 5htp at all since I don’t experience any benefit from it. Nonetheless I really look forward to hear from you and what I should do to treat my issues.

Thanks a lot for taking your time to read all this – I tried to make it as detailed as possible.

Best regards,

ANSWER
I must apologize for my severely delayed response. Let me get to it straight away.

I’ve carefully gone through the case and I do remember it well. I must say that the case could definitely be classified as uncommon as far as treatment success rate goes. Cases where it’s serotonin-GABA related are usually well influenced by the combination you mentioned and in particular 5HTP / Tryptophan and GABA (given that it is picamilon-like in nature). You did mention that it is somewhat better when drunk (which would suggest it’s either neurotransmitter, androgen, or local tissue sensitivity related) but one time seems statistically insignificant so we won’t be able to rely on that presumption.

I can understand how difficult it may be for a young man to abstain from masturbation for a month. However if it’s nervous training related there would be no other way of detraining it back and restoring a positive ejaculatory neuroplasticity. Edging (and any other sexually pro-active method of detraining) is not an option as it would affect other aspects of proper organism functioning that will subsequently shape themselves into the same or even worse problems. I’d strongly suggest taking a look at this explanatory video: https://vimeo.com/115821599.

Hypnosis is also usually a viable way of addressing many physically related issues but it’s hard to estimate if it’s been done correctly and pass judgement on the quality of the session in order to label it as a non-working method.

I remember our assumption that it may be PC muscle minor damage related, as it could definitely lead to such. Have you noticed any improvements in that regard? In the way it feels? Or maybe noticed any correlation between positioning / feeling / and premature ejaculation?

Kegels will definitely worsen the issue. There’s no real doubt about that.

Furthermore I want to let you know that I two years ago learned myself to ejaculate without hands (it was via a hypnosis recording). I’m saying this because it perhaps can have messed up my brain chemistry?

That’s actually a real possibility. However, I would say that it is still unlikely to lead to permanent and persistent alterations years after it has been discontinued.

Also if you suggest me to take some supplements (perhaps it could benefit not taking anything at all, just to not put any stress on my system) does it then HAVE to be the ones from this site or is it okay to purchase elsewhere?

It’s definitely okay to supplement from elsewhere if you can find a reputable and high quality source. For instance, just supplementing GABA won’t do much since only small amounts pass the Blood–brain barrier. You’d need GABA with picamilon properties (such as GRB6-GABA / GRB7-GABA where it’s been combined with Niacin on a molecular level), which is not usually easy to find. We’ve also found that 5HTP really goes well with the chemical properties of Nettle, so I’d suggest finding and using both if you’ll supplement from other reputable sources. Similar details are not explained but are frequently crucial so you’d have to make sure you emulate the combination correctly.

And if I have to keep taking 5htp can I continue with the supplement I’m using now or is 200 mg too much?

I believe 200mg of 5HTP is over the top if it’s used in a regular combination with Multi-Alpha, Alpha-Amino, GRB6-GABA, and Ultra-Purified-FishOil. You should definitely avoid exceeding the 200mg dosage.

Also I have a slight pelvic tilt and thus I often suck in my stomach so it is not looking like a beer belly (im not overweight at all however my stomac is still far out if im standing relaxed) and this sucking in my stomach when I walk and stand up is something I’ve done for many years – perhaps it has made my pelvic floor tight and tense?

It’s certainly a possibility. It’s very important for a person would walk around in a semi-relaxed state. Years of conscious tensing may definitely manifest themselves in what you describe and even seep into excessive sympathetic functioning due to conscious muscle tensing (similar to how conscious breathing controls sympathetic – parasympathetic responses).

I never managed to be abstinent for more than 13 days and I still have all the same problems. What do you suggest me to do this time around?

You’ve certainly listed a lot of viable reasons which could explain your particular condition. It may be a result of a single or probably a combination of two or more of the mentioned factors. We’ll just have to try and write them off one by one by exploring and administering known treatments for each. If you respond well to a certain treatment aimed at one of the listed complaints, chances are it was/is involved in your premature ejaculation complaints. It definitely sounds like the logical way approach this case.

The needed approach as far as each individual issue goes seem straightforward for most:

* For instance, you’d just have to consciously relax your stance for a few months and observe any alterations in the severity of your premature ejaculation and PC muscle tightness.
* You’d also have to consciously make it over the 13 day period mark of abstinence, there’s just no way around it.
* You may try slightly different supplement combinations, such as using only L-Tryptophan 500 to 1000 and adding some anti-inflammatory/excitatory herbs to the mix.
* You may try burning a lot of androgens through aerobic activities and see if it subsequently affects your premature ejaculation. Walking 2 to 8 miles may be a good idea. Of course, you’d have to be careful with this method and stop just in time in order to avoid any excessive inflammatory response.

Of course, you’re welcome to think of other activities that may affect the mentioned variables and help us draw useful conclusions subsequently.

Please, keep me updated on the case.

Glad if I could help!

The post Sexual Exhaustion and Premature Ejaculation appeared first on Cure ED.

Thank you for taking time to read this. My life is not ending or in a deep hole. I have ruined my personal and social life. What are your choices to fix them? What do these products do, symptoms of taking them. Long and short term effects/affects?
Thank you. Tyler

ANSWER
Hello,

Right, you’ve guessed correctly that the symptoms you experience are usually indicative of a moderate to severe case of sexual exhaustion.

Will a long reboot solve my physical implications?

You’re certainly on the right path with the sexual abstinence you’ve been going through the last couple of months. However, as you have noticed, it is frequently not enough to bring any lasting positive changes. Many sufferers notice temporary symptom improvement and subsequent recurrence the minute they masturbate again. It’s because they have not actually restored their proper neuroendocrine functioning but have just “lightened” the load on it.

However, you’re still very young and that’s the predominant reason I believe that it is possible to solve many of the physical implications with just a few on spot lifestyle improvements.

The negative neuroplasticity that has been developed has to be addressed in a precise manner to avoid internal feedback mechanisms supporting it. It’s the basic principle of “what fires together wires together”.

I am adopting lifestyle changes and great nutrition

That’s really the way to go, it will prove to be very beneficial in terms of successful recovery and just overall quality of life.

What might I have done to my penis and nerves?

Sexual Exhaustion is a condition that will usually negatively influence one’s penile health by promoting excessive inflammatory / excitatory tissue responses even to minor external stimulation, lowering androgens responsible for penile tissue health and integrity, and lowering prostaglandins E1 E3 and Nitric Oxide for tissue elasticity issues, frequently resulting in abrasions even through ejaculation alone.

There are quite a few things that may have gone wrong but most are usually very reversible with conservative methods.

I’m so scared that life will stay the same and I will no longer grow and mature. I am good looking and want a girlfriend but how can I if I am a terrible example of a man?

You’re still developing and what you describe does seem relatively normal. Certainly slight body part size inconsistencies should be considered normal even in perfectly healthy developing adults. I’d advise you against any excessive worrying at this stage, or any for that matter.

Thank you for taking time to read this. My life is not ending or in a deep hole. I have ruined my personal and social life. What are your choices to fix them?

It’s a pleasure, there are certain lifestyle alterations that you may want to consider. You’ve said that you’re already on improving certain aspects of your lifestyle and diet, and have discontinued any excessive sexual activities, so I will mention some of the rest:
– Negative ion exposure
– Massages
– Healing visualizations. In that regard, particularly useful may prove to be the content at yourhealingmind.org.

What do these products do, symptoms of taking them. Long and short term effects/affects?

They are just very high quality supplements, designed to stabilize and improve internal organism equilibrium when combined properly and in a proper ratio with each other. Once you’ve improved your neuroplasticity you’d need to keep it for a prolong period of time in order to remain the default mode of functioning, related to the previous basic principle in neuroscience “what fires together wires together” I mentioned.

A combination of Multi-Alpha, Alpha-Amino, 5HTP-Nettle (to be discontinued 2nd to 3rd month), GRB6-GABA (to be discontinued 2nd to 3rd month), Balance-Essentials, and Ultra-Purified-FishOil will improve neuroendocrine functioning, stabilize serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, and GABA levels, improve hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-testicular functioning and increase androgens, aid serotonin-GABA nervous modulation on inflammatory / excitatory response, increase prostaglandins E1 E3 and Nitric Oxide for healing, and rewrite the neuroplasticity to a positive one.

Please, keep me updated on the case!

The post Effects of porn, masturbation, and orgasm at 17 appeared first on Cure ED.

So I’d like to get some advice on how to tackle this ongoing battle with my own body. I was unfortunately exposed to Masturbation at quite a young age (10-11~), and Now I am 17. Sometimes I’d do it daily, sometimes every 2-3 days.

I regret every single second, i spent on this filth.

This case is going to be a bit long, because I don’t want to miss out any detail.

Well, I decided to go cold turkey on Masturbation about 85 days ago. The thing is, I wasn’t totally aware of the Withdrawal symptoms & knowledge about SE / Masturbation addiction.

I first looked at yourbrainonporn.com and got a bit knowledge about it as a Chemical Addiction or so. However, About 60 days into the withdrawals, I found out this website and it has confused me.

YourBrainonporn claimed that, withdrawals will take about 3 months to about 1 year, depending on severity of the addiction. However, when I went through a lot of articles & cases on this website, I found out that I’m stuck in a permanent state of Fight or flight response. I hope you can clarify me on this.

Anyways, 3 days into the withdrawals, I got a full-fledge panic attack, out of no where. I had heart racing & fainted for 30 seconds, and it all ended suddenly.. but I did go to the Doctor immediately and he checked my electrolytes, which were fine.

After that, It all went down, I had Anxiety, partial insomnia, Restless legs syndrome, tremors, shaky feeling, inflammation, weight loss, migraines, fatigue, hair loss, Ear buzzing (not alot), Eye floaters, Mood swings, Heart palpitations (Only for sometime) etc.

I’ve had these tests done, some of them maybe, unrelated due to my lack of knowledge about the addiction at first, apparently.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Tests:-

Vitamin B12 – 176 [Ref range: 156-675] pmol/L

Vitamin D [Done twice] : 4 and 35 (After injection)

Serum Calcium [Done thrice] – Diagnosed with mild Hypercalcemia (This worries me ALOT)

A mistake here done is, S.Calcium wasn’t measured before giving Vit D injection.

After Vit D injection:- 2.6 [Ref range: 2.10-2.55] in mmol/L.

A week after last test:- 2.74 [Ref range: 2.20-2.65] in mmol/L.

Two weeks after last test of (2.74) | :- 11.0 [Ref range: 8.4-10.2] in mg/dl .. This is about 2.75 in mmol/L. (from different hospital.)

This worries me alot, but doctors said, at my age it’s completely fine and it rose a bit due to me being anxious all the time and breathing alot.

Should I be worried? Is there any neurological connection between calcium & neurotransmitters imbalance (which I’m facing currently)…?

PTH – 20 [Ref range: 9-65] in pg/mL… This was done when I had calcium 2.6 mmol/L.

Doctors said, no problems with PTH.

Multiple tests of T3, T4, TSH done –

The lastest one is:

TSH – 0.84 [Ref range: 0.35 – 4.94] uIU/ml

Free T4 – 18.92 [Ref Range: 9.01 – 19.05] pmol/l

Free T3 – 5.26 [Ref Range: 2.63-5.70] pmol/l

Dr’s said, Thyroid readings have been going up and down randomly, but not like completely out of range.

S.Magnesium – 0.76 [Ref range 0.70 – 1.00] in mmol/L

CPK – 174 U/l

ANSWER
Hello,
Yes, panic attacks and extreme anxiety are not uncommon in cases where abrupt and prolonged sexual activities discontinuation, combined with lack of any external support for serotonin – GABA nervous modulation, is observed. Statistically, I’d say it’s encountered in about 10 to 20 percent of the cases where the mentioned conditions are met.

You’re right to assume you’re stuck in an overactive sympathetic nervous functioning for increased fight or flight response. In fact, I think I’ve seen similar cases on the forum as I occasionally go through it. Regrettably, I still don’t have the time to answer to the numerous threads there.

Unfortunately, as you have noticed yourself, conventional tests are usually ineffective in detecting the imbalanced state through the inability to monitor neurotransmitter levels in the brain, the wide range of acceptable results, and the flat ratio of hormone-neurohormone-neurotransmitter interactions monitored.

Let me elaborate a bit more on the mentioned condition.

As you’re already well aware of, sexual activities of any kind are known to directly affect one’s dopaminergic system. During these activities, much dopamine is released into the synaptic cleft, where it’s either burned as a fuel for nervous transmission (meaning it’s metabolized through different neuroendocrine circuits during and after usage) or is upregulated. Much of the bioavailable dopamine is also used for dopamine – norepinephrine – epinephrine conversions, as norepinephrine is actually synthesized from dopamine by dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH). So, sexual activities are constantly lowering both its bioavailability and respective receptors.

Overactive sexual activities can definitely lead to imbalanced neurotransmitter levels, including dopamine. Same goes for sudden alterations in organism functioning (abstinence) without taking the necessary precautions. As sexual exhaustion sufferers frequently have their nervous modulation imbalanced, any severe increases of dopamine can result in extreme sympathetic functioning through its then constant direct conversion to norepinephrine – epinephrine. Normally, the process is carefully regulated by the serotonin – GABA nervous modulation on excitatory / inflammatory response, meaning that if excessive conversions are detected, the inhibitory GABA (and serotonin through different circuits) will balance organism functioning. However, this is frequently not possible in cases where sexual exhaustion is already present, as it has already drained much of the potential of this modulatory mechanism. That’s one of the reasons why healthy individuals that used to abstain from the beginning (certain religions, etc.), won’t usually have a problem with prolonged abstinence, while masturbation / sex addicts may experience various ill consequences.

Naturally, external activities, such as exercise, may also play their role in balancing dopamine – norepinephrine – epinephrine levels.

Note that excessive dopamine – norepinephrine – epinephrine conversions also happen during sexual activities themselves, with serotonin – GABA nervous modulation spending some of its potential on it. That’s why many individuals may notice anxiety – irritability related issues after. The difference is that the process is self-controlled through the already chronically lowered dopamine levels, the duration of the activity, and prolactin release.

Dopamine – norepinephrine – epinephrine conversions as a result of excessive abstinence is heavier and more drastic in nature. It won’t start to occur until a couple of months into abstinence, during which dopamine levels will go into an all-time high. The extreme conversions will become unavoidable at some point, and will start to show through symptoms of extreme sympathetic functioning. One may even be unable to then masturbate again as every attempt will lead to even excessive dopamine – norepinephrine – epinephrine conversions, which will be too much for his already imbalanced system to handle (given it’s already trying to suppress the increased sympathetic activity) and result in severe panic attacks.

“Should I be worried? Is there any neurological connection between calcium & neurotransmitters imbalance (which I’m facing currently)…?”

Calcium is known to participate in the sympathetic nervous system activation. As you can see here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9534092 (for example), various treatments designed to treat excessive sympathetic nervous functioning, hypertension, and the respective coronary artery disease (mentioned in the study to frequently occur as a result of such – “overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system may lead to hypertension and is involved in heart failure.”) include calcium antagonists.

It’s dangerous to prolong the condition as it’s well known that any kind of neuroplasticity occurs quickly in the presence of heightened excitatory / inflammatory hormone-neurotransmitter levels. It was once a positive evolutionary trait important for fast and proper organism behavioral modulation and adaptation through times of acute stressor exposure. However, similar archaic evolutionary traits can sometimes work against us in modern environments.

I’d suggest addressing the weakened serotonin – GABA nervous modulation first. Particularly useful for this purpose would be 5HTP-Nettle (or L-Tryptophan) and GRB6-GABA (or GRB7-GABA). Simultaneously, you may want to also use Multi-Alpha, Alpha-Amino, Balance-Essentials, and Ultra-Purified-FishOil to additionally improve nervous and endocrine functioning, stabilize acetylcholine, serotonin, dopamine, GABA levels, aid hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-testicular axis proper functioning, increase androgens, increase elasticity prostaglandin E1 E3 and Nitric Oxide, alter numerous gene expressions, and eventually rewrite the negative neuroplasticity developed.

This case is particularly severe in terms of proper serotonin – GABA nervous modulatory functioning, so I will advise to continue addressing it for at least 3 to 6 months after the complete resolution of your symptoms. It will then be crucial to keep the positive neuroplasticity you’ve created.

Naturally, the usual beneficial practices apply:

* Exercise
Running, in this case, will be beneficial in regards to epinephrine burning and proper parasympathetic functioning restoration. You should be careful not to overdo it, though, as it may result in excessive inflammatory response (especially in this condition).

* Proper diet
Much fiber, fruits, avoid milk with prostaglandin E2 analogs, avoid empty calories and much red meat.

* Negative ion exposure
The general rule is wherever there is water, there are negative ions: rivers, lakes, oceans and ponds, even your own shower.

* Massages
Similar practices definitely have positive effect on local inflammatory processes and help you deal with the excessive sympathetic functioning.

Exception here will be my recommendation of sexual activities discontinuation. I’d actually advise you to masturbate 1 to 3 times per week for the next couple of months.

Please, keep me updated on the case!

Glad if I could help!

UPDATE
Hello Doctor, This is an update for the “Masturbation withdrawal? Extreme anxiety and panic attacks.” Case.
Its been about 1 week into the supplements, I’m taking Multi-Alpha, Alpha Amino, Zeolite, GRB6-GABA, 5-HTP, Balanced Essentials, Fish Body Oil (local).
I’ve noticed quite a lot of improvements:-

Anxiety has decreased by 50%
Depression decreased by 50%
Fatigue/Tiredness has reduced by 75%. I feel a lot more energetic.
Erections are quite strong when laying down, and much better when standing up.
Overall, body fat has been decreasing and Muscle mass has been increasing.
Hair loss has definitely decreased.
Ear Buzzing/Ringing which used to happen sometimes, has diminished.
Urinary urgency has definitely improved by 50% at least.
Chest pains/discomfort have decreased considerably in frequency.
Libido is quite high.

No Improvements:-
Eye floaters & Eye Redness is still there. [This seems to annoy me the most]
Concentration is still kind of lacking, and it’s kind of hard due to Eye floaters.
Excessive Sweating, My Underarms get sweated, when i’m doing nothing at all.
My whole body especially, my head, eyes, spine, lower abdomen feels very heated and warm. What is the reason for this?
I still have broken/light sleep, (Not deep sleep).
Muscle twitches, Random twitches, specially in the legs, thighs, arms which last for 1-3 seconds.
I have a few questions:-

1) I had a wet dream today (7 days into the treatment), which I think is due to excitatory/increased sympathetic function.. as I had trouble sleeping / light sleep that day and once I ejaculated due to that dream (I couldn’t control it), I actually felt a lot sleepy after that and went straight to sleep.. Not sure why….?
2) I’m a college student (A Levels), however I took this year off, just so I could recover and come back strong, would you recommend me currently to study & memorize? I feel like, it could stress me more and slow my recovery? However, I do love enjoying studying, it’s just that I want to recover from this Exhaustion.

3) Eye floaters & Eye redness have been very annoying, what is the reason for this and how much time do you think it will take to resolve? Also, I have yellow color at the corners of my eye balls, however I did check my liver functions around a month ago which were completely fine.. I’m not sure what could be the cause of this?
I got my eyes checked by a vision doctor, when I went into abstinence, The doc said, she couldn’t find anything wrong apart from the redness, which she gave me an anti-histamine drops for, but those just made my eyes a lot dry and not much improvement. She had no clue why I had Alot of Eye floaters.
4) My whole body especially, my head, eyes, spine, lower abdomen feels very heated and warm. What is the reason for this?

5) I have Muscle twitches, which are Random twitches, specially in the legs, thighs, arms which last for 1-3 seconds. No clue about this why? It’s not painful or annoying, just that it’s weird.
6) I’m planning to order more supplements, I ordered only for 2 months at this time, and it takes a lot of time for me to get the supplements, so I’d like to ask how many months supplements should I order? I’ll probably order 6 months of Multi-Alpha, Alpha Amino, Fish Oil, however I’m not sure about GRB6-GABA, Balanced Essentials & 5-HTP.
How many months in total would I probably need to address the GABA-Serotonin modulation? (Around 3-4 months?) and Balanced Essentials, should I take it for 3-4 months? or discontinue it aswell and when?
Lastly I’d like to Thank you so much to you Dr Richards & your team, who made this website, for a very noble cause. You have helped me so much.
Best Regards.

ANSWER
Thank you for your detailed report. I’m certainly glad notable improvements are being observed. Of course, there is still much to be done in regards of proper organism functioning restoration. I’ve gone through the case once again just to make sure I won’t miss anything.

Let me expand really quickly on your initial report.

The reported improvements are usually expected and I must say you’re even going ahead of the curve with many of the symptoms. 50% decrease in major complaints during the first month is usually a very positive sign, although you may notice frequent symptom fluctuations as it is usually how it goes. This means that you may observe symptom improvement ranging anywhere, say, between 20% to 50% with respective “good” and “bad” days. So it might be useful to report the range itself, as it is a more accurate way to judge overall improvement.

Now, let’s get to the symptoms that are not improving and expand on the probable cause for it.

Eye floaters & Eye Redness is still there. [This seems to annoy me the most]

It is actually a very common complaint. The issue here is that the eye floaters, although frequently caused by a range of internal biochemical in nature imbalances, are usually very physical in nature and have protein structures. They will be dissolved eventually but it frequently takes more time.

Concentration is still kind of lacking, and it’s kind of hard due to Eye floaters.

It usually improves on par with symptoms like anxiety and depression. However, it may occasionally lag behind due to temporary fluctuations in dopamine and acetylcholine.

Excessive Sweating, My Underarms get sweated, when i’m doing nothing at all.

It is usually indicative of an ongoing excessive excitatory / inflammatory response so it freqeuntly improves on par with anxiety and depression as well. However, you have reported increased body heat, which may be directly responsible for the symptom and I’ll get back to in in a moment.

4.) My whole body especially, my head, eyes, spine, lower abdomen feels very heated and warm. What is the reason for this?

Similar symptoms are actually not uncommon. The heat is usually caused by a dilation in your blood vessels, which are finally adjusting to a proper way of functioning, getting rid of the previous excitatory / inflammatory narrowness. The increased blood flow to your internal organs and skin is probably creating the warm sensation. Similar responses are usually considered healthy.

I still have broken/light sleep, (Not deep sleep).

This may take a while and can definitely be improved with exercise.

5) Muscle twitches, Random twitches, specially in the legs, thighs, arms which last for 1-3 seconds.

Now, this may be caused by a number of things but is usually related to slight magnesium imbalances.

Now, let me get straight to the rest of your questions:

1) I had a wet dream today (7 days into the treatment), which I think is due to excitatory/increased sympathetic function.. as I had trouble sleeping / light sleep that day and once I ejaculated due to that dream (I couldn’t control it), I actually felt a lot sleepy after that and went straight to sleep.. Not sure why….?

You’re very correct in your assessment. The wet dream should definitely be considered inflammatory / excitatory in nature given it took only 7 days to occur. Even so, proper organism reactions to this orgasm might be expected (especially with improving neurochemical balance during treatment), causing you the natural sleepiness.

2) I’m a college student (A Levels), however I took this year off, just so I could recover and come back strong, would you recommend me currently to study & memorize? I feel like, it could stress me more and slow my recovery? However, I do love enjoying studying, it’s just that I want to recover from this Exhaustion.

Studying and memorizing information can be very demanding indeed. However, I do not believe similar practices can affect the recovery in a major way. It is usually the other way around – you will be unable to concentrate and study productively even if you wanted to.

3) Eye floaters & Eye redness have been very annoying, what is the reason for this and how much time do you think it will take to resolve? Also, I have yellow color at the corners of my eye balls, however I did check my liver functions around a month ago which were completely fine.. I’m not sure what could be the cause of this?

You may want to take a look at: https://cure-erectile-dysfunction.org/vision-problems-eye-floaters-sexual-activity for this. Generally speaking, it is inflammatory in nature.

As for the yellow color at the corners, it shouldn’t be alarming if it is not that noticeable. Even perfectly healthy individuals may develop such as a result of minor external irritants.

6) I’m planning to order more supplements, I ordered only for 2 months at this time, and it takes a lot of time for me to get the supplements, so I’d like to ask how many months supplements should I order? I’ll probably order 6 months of Multi-Alpha, Alpha Amino, Fish Oil, however I’m not sure about GRB6-GABA, Balanced Essentials & 5-HTP.
How many months in total would I probably need to address the GABA-Serotonin modulation? (Around 3-4 months?) and Balanced Essentials, should I take it for 3-4 months? or discontinue it aswell and when?

That seems about right. It usually takes 3 to 4 months to address serotonin-GABA nervous modulation in a lasting manner, and is when I usually recommend discontinuing GRB6-GABA and 5HTP-Nettle. Of course, you may want to keep probably a month’s supply on top just in case you need to use it in a supportive manner (if such need is to arise) further down the road.

There shouldn’t be any immediate need to discontinue Balance-Essentials. It’s a very nice formula addressing quite a few major neurotransmitters in the brain in a very balanced manner.

I’d like to thank you for your kind words and assure you it’s always a pleasure.

Be sure to keep me updated on the case.

Glad if I could help!

The post Masturbation withdrawal? Extreme anxiety and panic attacks. appeared first on Cure ED.

This site is amazing. I’m so glad I found it. I would like to get your opinion on something. I’ve been over-masturbating since my early teens and doing it a least once a day, sometimes three times or more… although now that I’m much older only once a day, usually at night to help me fall asleep.

I’ve always had obsessive sexual thoughts and was very sexual with my girlfriends. (we had sex everyday, sometimes two or more times) but these relationships never really had any substance – just sex, nothing much else in common, and the girls didn’t treat me very well. I also thought about sex all the time and had fantasies about having sex with all sorts of women. At this time I had never loved anyone.

Then one day I met a girl who was cute but didn’t have much sex appeal as she was very innocent and a virgin. I wasn’t very attractive to her, but she was so nice and made me laugh and we had a lot in common. (liked the same food, movies, values..etc) We could talk for hours and I really enjoyed her company and had never experienced that before. We started to hang out and she wanted to be more than friends but I didn’t because the physical attraction wasn’t enough. (she didn’t exuded a great amount of sex appeal and therefor wasn’t doing it for me at the time, but maybe that was because I was watching porn and thinking sexual thoughts) I continued being her friend while having sex with an ex-girlfriend who treated me like shit and wasn’t very nice. It didn’t take long before I dumped my ex and focused solo on my friendship with the new girl.

About three months passed and we finally had sex and it was okay, but I really got along with her and enjoyed her company. I started to love her for who she was and started enjoying the sex somewhat, but it wasn’t sensual or dirty which is what I was use to. But I didn’t want to lose her because she had become like my best friend. It got to the point were the relationship was going good and the sex was okay but the fun and laughs were enough to make it all worth while. We eventually got married and were pretty much happy. (only thing that was lacking was the sex was lacing a spark)

BUT — all through the years while being with her I still continued to masturbate at night before I went to sleep and sometimes during the day while fantasizing about other women and doing hardcore sexual things.)

As more time passed she wasn’t doing it for me at all but I loved her.. it was like my dopamine or something was demanding more stimulant. I was looking at porn and eyeing all the women that would pass me on the street and I would think dirty sexual thoughts about them and then masturbate. As long as I was doing this I was happy. When I stopped doing this I would be cranky, mean, and lash out.

My question to you is… my wife treats me so good, she does some many great things for me, and she’s my best friend, but sometimes I feel like there isn’t any passion, yet sometimes when we make love it’s good… You would think when two people get along and make each other laugh and have everything in common that the relationship would be strong, but if so, then why am I always looking at porn and other women?

After reading your site and a few other articles about dopamine, I now think that maybe I’m addicted to dopamine and my addiction his looking to get the big HIT it needs but I’m not getting it from my wife.. so I’m looking elsewhere. (porn, fantasy) I’ve got all sorts of sexual exhaustion symptoms (weak erection, premature ejaculation, anxiety, memory troubles) So I decided to quit masturbating and fix those things and take the vitamins you have been telling people in my situation to take. After two weeks I feel like I’m crawling out of my skin. I look at my wife and it’s like I hate her one moment, and then love her the next. I think my brain chemicals are going bonkers or my dopamine is so low that I’m like a drug addict needing a hit… but my thoughts right are that maybe I’m feeling depressed because I’m not happy with my wife, but then I think but she is so wonderful and treats me so good… maybe the REAL problem is that my addiction to dopamine is telling I don’t want my wife, that she is the problem so that i will go out meet a new girl who will then for me meantime shoot up my dopamine levels.

I’ve always been confused to why I wouldn’t be happy with a woman who is everything I ever wanted except very sexual. It’s not like she doesn’t have sex with me.. just not fulfilling my need for heavy duty passion or sexual stimulant. But am I only craving new sex from other women and passion from other women because I’m addicted to high dopamine levels? I don’t want to lose my best friend, but I also am craving passionate love making — but maybe I can’t EVER get that from anyone unless a kick my dopamine addiction.

I would love to read your thoughts.

thank you kindly.

ANSWER
Thank you for sharing your story.

Your disharmonious feelings are because of the constant ups and downs of the neurotransmitters and hormones responsible for them. Let’s see what is happening here:

You’ve got it right. The porn and masturbation addiction leads to altered brain reward circuitry. Generally speaking, if something is boosting your dopamine levels, it is addictive to you – it doesn’t matter if it is porn, sex, masturbation, video games, driving your new car, eating sugar and so on. Masturbation or sex at first boosts up your dopamine levels through the dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion and later lowers them because of the excessive prolactin release. This is a very unhealthy fluctuation that will leave you with all sorts of messed up feelings.

Low dopamine levels will leave you depressed, with low libido, with anti-social behavior, lack of ambition, and inability to feel love. While high levels will make you anxious, a risk taker, aggressive, and psychotic. The key is having normal levels that will promote a healthy libido, friendly feelings towards others, strong logic, healthy ambition, and healthy bonding to your activities.

The orgasm is a huge dopamine blast for our brains, not that different from the one that the cocaine or other drugs promote. An extremely high levels of dopamine will promote extremely high levels of prolactin, so you will suffer a hangover (the next weeks) that will shift your perception for the reality itself and leave you empty with messed up feelings.

Currently, you are experiencing weakened dopamine surge from your wife (you never had a strong surge in the first place, but even if you did, this would have been the possible outcome), so she doesn’t look to you that rewarding as the other girls and porn.

However, you have a bond with your wife through other hormones, such as oxytocin. Oxytocin is responsible for the feeling of comfort and love for your partner. Generally speaking, the dopamine is the lust and the oxytocin is the affection. You need balanced levels of both dopamine and oxytocin to stay in love. As you can observe for yourself, you are not very happy about the fact that are not getting the dopamine shot from your wife.

Any heavy dopamine addiction will also cause oxytocin fluctuations, that is why you may feel extremely confused – you hate her, you love her. Since you suffer from other symptoms of sexual exhaustion, the problem is obvious. You experience several symptoms of sexual exhaustion which is an indication that the modulation has been blown and is no longer capable of keeping normal levels of certain stress and inflammatory hormones. An altered reward circuit can be extremely devastating. You should restore the proper nervous modulation on your hormonal and nts levels, promote prostaglandins E1 E3 and NO for healing, jump start your CNS, androgen hormones production, and avoid any strong dopamine shots.

In time your brain reward circuitry will be restored and you will feel nearly the same dopamine satisfaction from just a regular, sensual sex.

UPDATE
thanks for your help.
Is it possible when I met my wife that because I was watching porn, over masterbating and having lascivious sex with others that there was no way ANY nice, virgin girl with good morals was going to turn me on?

Also, any thing I can take to improve the thing you mentioned:

“Any heavy dopamine addiction will also cause oxytocin fluctuations, that is why you may feel extremely confused – you hate her, you love her.

ANSWER
Is it possible, but sexual attraction is a complicated process and is driven by many factors. Your subconscious mind may have never approved your wife as a mating partner – it has its own criteria, which can be altered as well.

You should:
1. Discontinue any sexual activities for 1 to 3 months.
2. Balance your diet and improve your lifestyle.
3. Take frequent massages to promote blood flow.
4. Promote prostaglandins E1 E3 and NO for healing.
5. Check your testosterone levels. If they are around 300ng/dl you will have difficulties restoring proper testicular function. If so, I’d suggest to avoid external sources such as testosterone replacement therapy.

UPDATE
thanks for all the advice. I already feel stronger after only five days.
What is a normal testosterone level? Anything over 300ng/dl?

As you can imagine, stopping sexual activity is very hard when you’ve been doing it for a long time. If one gets an erection and strokes it a few times and realizes “oh shoot, I’m not suppose to do this” is it better just to stop, or is it better to ejaculate? (and start all over at day 1 again)

ANSWER
Yes, total and free testosterone levels should be measured.

It’s almost always a good idea to just stop. However, for prolonged sessions (more than 25-30 minutes) you should ejaculate.

UPDATE
If my test is under 300ng then I need to take Clomiphene to naturally boost it up? How many days and how many pills of Clomiphene?

ANSWER
Most probably you will be fine. Check it just in case. If around or under 300ng you may take 50mg 10 days and 25mg the next 10. This should do the trick.

UPDATE
Got my test back and my free testosterone was 398 — is that okay? I think the regular testosterone was 20.2.

ANSWER
20.2 in (nmol/L) units ?

UPDATE
Testosterone was 20.2 and looks like the unit was nmol/L. Nothing else was shown.

ANSWER
Actually the free testosterone should have been 0.398. The results are withing the normal range. Nothing to worry about, not unless you’re under 25 years of age.
UPDATE
You recommended no sex for 2 months when suffering from sexual exhaustion.
* Would it be ok to do it just once a week? (I just don’t know if me (or) my wife could possibly stand a 2 week layoff…
* When the 2 months is up… how many times total sex + masturbation do you consider “too much” per week?
The reason I ask is: Let’s pretend I go on a romantic vacation with my wife, and she wants to do it 2-3 times that day, only then once the next day, 3 times the next day, and so forth. Is it ok to have these “splurge periods” every so often.

ANSWER
If a proper HPAT axis functioning is observed, along with proper acetylcholine, serotonin, dopamine, and GABA levels, there should be no problem to do it regularly. Once a week during the recovery period is not a great idea. Once per 2 weeks is a moderate and solid frequency.

Too much is an individual feature, if you have the right biochemistry to support your activities you may make sex 10 times a week or more.

Multiple orgasms in one session will fully deplete the seminal vesicles and will rapidly lead to sexual exhaustion.

The post Relationship Rocky due to Neurotransmitters Fluctuating??? appeared first on Cure ED.

I went to my nature path and after testing me with his machine, told me my brain needed Gaba and Citicoline(to increase my Acetylcholine.)

Does this sound about right? He told me I didn’t need 5-HTP.
Your site is amazing and has been really helpful. Thank you so very much.
I hope after 25 years of doing damage to my body I’ll be able to repair it.
If there is anything else you think I might need please let me know.

Thanks again.
Curtis.

ANSWER
I’m sorry to hear about your problems.
Since you suffer from more than 10 symptoms I would guess that you have chronically discharged your acetylcholine, dopamine, serotonin, and GABA nervous systems, resulting in brain’s nervous, liver, and endocrine disorders. Much can be said, but let’s get specific about the symptoms that seem to bother you the most.

You were rightfully prescribed GABA and Citicoline, but I’m at a loss to why they told you that you didn’t need 5-HTP, since your second major symptom is premature ejaculation.

The neurotransmitter serotonin plays a central role in modulating ejaculation. Low levels of serotonin in the synaptic cleft (in the brain) is very likely to cause premature ejaculation. This is exactly why SSRIs – selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, which increase serotonin level in the synapse, are somewhat used to treat PE. However, since you are said not to have abnormal levels (which is somewhat strange considering your symptoms) I would not suggest you to take any 5-HTP.

Generally speaking, a balanced neurotransmitter/hormone ratio is crucial. If you alter one, you may as well expect a chain reaction, altering the others as well. In order to heal from 25 years of accumulated damage, one would need a huge amount of patience and determination.

I’d suggest to:

Discontinue every ill practice – drug abuse, over-masturbation, over-ejaculation. In fact in your condition is is crucial to discontinue them completely for a few months.

Treat yourself well and use your time wisely – concentrate and picture yourself well and healthy again. Take showers, massages. After you feel better go do some light exercising to burn out harmful substances in your blood and increase synthesis of HGH and other various vital hormones.

Use supplemental support to give your organism everything it needs to initiate the process of healing – Multi-Alpha, Alpha-Amino, 5HTP-Nettle, and Ultra-Purified-FishOil.

You may want to consider making good use of devices to optimize androgen levels by testicle temperature regulation.
You should also avoid negative or/and angry thoughts, due to the possibility of additional epinephrine and cortisol release.

UPDATE
Thank you very much for the information. I greatly appreciate it.
I have a few more questions:

Is taking Nutra-Sea Omega3 (EPA&DHA) a good source of fishoil?

I’m also going to take a multi-B-vitamin… Gaba… Citicoline,and I’m going to get tested for 5-HTP one more time just to make sure I don’t need it. (although I was on Luvox for about 3 years and Paxil about 4 years and those only helped a tiny, tiny bit).

Also: Just in case there is anything else you need to add here are my exact symptoms:

Obsessive and Compulsive thoughts
Anxiety and Panic attacks
Memory loss
Watery semen
Less concentration
Depression and nervous mood
Frequent urination or urinary urgency
Sleep disorders – insomnia or hypersomnia
Fatigue, laziness or loss of interest
Irritability and short temper
Paranoia or losing confidence on everything.
Muscle tension or cramp
Low Back and buttock muscle pain.

Hopefully I can keep my spirits up as I’m usually a negative thinker and feel down and out all the time. Working from home doesn’t help because I don’t get to socialize very much. I am going to start going to the gym again and hopefully that helps.

To be honest, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have premature ejaculation… it has just gotten worse and worse over the years. I have obsessive thinking… my brain is working on overload — I have to be careful taking citicoline as it works as an uppper and I’m already full of anxiety and high strung.

I’m taking at least one month off, hopefully I can go for two.. but it’ll be tough considering I’m addicted to ejac. I also have shy bladder where I cannot use pubic washrooms or pee if someone is outside the door. Maybe this has something to do with it as well. Penis size may have something to do with it as well (I’m a grower) and worry if someone will judge me. (although I fine with the length of my penis when it’s erect).

Thanks again for all your help.. and if you have any new thoughts on the new info I provided you with I’d love to hear it.
Curtis.

ANSWER
Curtis, I’m glad you found this information useful. It is my personal desire do inform the people about the dangers of over-active sexual activity. I’ve personally seen the ill consequences many, many times.

As for your question – Nutra-Sea Omega3 seems a fairly good source of FishOil.

There is a huge difference, though, between taking Luvox, Paxil and having normal levels of Serotonin.

I’m doing some adjustments and will soon update “Symptoms of Sexual Exhaustion” with precise information on the matter. Your symptoms are all present and will be explained in a more detailed fashion.

I see that you are determined to change your life, and you will.
Wish you a fast recovery.

UPDATE
Thanks for the updates. The breakdown really helps.
Just to be clear… you stated:

“The solution is to help your neuro-endocrine function and stabilize your serotonin and GABA nervous modulation on the Fight or Flight responses. You must also recharge your parasympathetic nervous system and boost your prostaglandin E-1 , E-3, oxytocin and Nitric Oxide production for healing.”

1)So to fix the above one should take Serotonin and Gaba plus Balance point for Men, fish oild and stop sexual attivity for about two months or so?

2) Will rest cause penis shrinkage to go back to normal?

3) Is taking 5-HTP to boost serotonin totally different than taking Luvox, Paxil..etc. I used to be on Paxil and it slowed my thinking process down greatly and had me searching for words all the time. I don’t want to take 5-HTP if it’s going to do the same thing.

4) What is the best neurotransmitter test to find out what one is lacking? Blood?
These are my final questions and hopefully you will respond and they I can start the process of healing.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

ANSWER
Curtis,
1) Yes – this covers the basics. You’re experiencing numerous symptoms of sexual exhaustion, though, which means that the road to recovery won’t be so fast. Remember, it took you years to create the negative neuroplasticity you’re describing, so when reversing the effects you should be patient. Improvements are to be observed in a few months, but my guess is that you won’t be healed completely. Having the right attitude is of great importance.

Neurotransmitters are the messengers carrying messages from neuron to neuron, while vitamins and minerals are needed to convert ordinary amino acids into neurotransmitters. The formula above will be of a huge assistance in reversing the ill effects of over-active sexual activities, but you have to be conscious about what you do. You should have proper diet too, in your case in addition to the up-stated solution, you can add and peanuts, liver, meat, fish, milk (without any prostaglandin analogs) and vegetables.

It is also very important not to engage in any sexual activity for the time being. After the second month you may ejaculate once, and keep it once monthly for two more months. Then gradually return to normal – two times per month the next, three times per month, four times per month. You should observe notable improvements, but if you experience some of the symptoms again you should reduce the sexual activity.

2) Yes, your penis shrinkage will go back to normal after you stabilize your once considered proper biochemistry.

3)Taking 5-HTP is totally different. Luvox and Paxil are serotonin inhibitors. When the brain sends a messages they are passed between the nerve cells with the help of the chemical synapse(a gap between the cells). The sender cell releases neurotransmitters in the gap. These neurotransmitters are recognized by the receptors of the recipient cell. Some of the neurotransmitters are lost in this process, the others are released and taken up by special monoamine transporters into the sending cell and the process is called re-uptake. SSRI inhibit the reputake of serotonin, resulting in the serotonin not being taken up by the monoamine transporters and basically overstaying in the gap, thus stimulating the receptors of the recipient cell again and again. Various problems will then occur as a side effects. High levels of serotonin will not only activate postsynaptic receptors but will flood the autoreceptors which are the feedback sensor. These auto-receptors, of course, will signal for serotonin production discontinuation. There is much more to it, but you can see now why these drugs can be so addictive after a period of time – in order to feel right you will need them again and again, due to the, in actuality, severely lowered levels of serotonin.

The 5-HTP on the other hand is a direct precursor of serotonin.

4)There are different ways to evaluate neurotransmitter imbalances, the standard ones are urine or blood sample.

UPDATE
Thanks for the info, Doc. I greatly appreciate it.

I have to be careful though because I already feel my brain working overload and I think it might be that I’ve been on Citicoline for a month now. I don’t want to over do it as neurons fluctuate quickly, right? Someting I’m taking, either B vitamin, Citicoline, Gaba.. is making my brain buzz. so i’m going to lay off the citicoline and see if that helps, my thinking has gotten stronger already so maybe I’ve had enough. I normally high strung so citicoline is like a stimulant to me.

ANSWER
You shouldn’t take too much Citicoline, it may be wise to lower the dosage.

UPDATE
So far my body feels a bit better but my brain is giving me all sorts of messed up feelings. If someone has been ejaculating every day for a long time and all of a suddens stops, is there a withdrawal effect? I’m very irritable and depressed feeling… no love for the wife or for life itself. Maybe taking Gaba and citicoline has already made some changes, or maybe my brain is so used to getting a giant dopamine shot every night and now it’s craving it, going through withdrawal.
Any thoughts?

ANSWER
Yes! You are experiencing withdrawal symptoms. And – yes, the body is craving for its dopamine shot.
Insufficient Serotonin-GABA nervous modulation on the dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversion you will have your nervous control blown up.
The symptoms will pass.

UPDATE
Hopefully it won’t take too long for my symptoms to pass as I’m having very negative, dispiriting thoughts.

UPDATE
Hello, just wanted to check in and say I’ve gone three weeks without ejaculating and have had a few bumps along the way. I feel very anxious sometimes when I have the urge but eventually it goes away… I get the feeling that I would still suffer from premature ejaculation but my memory and other things are better. I noticed in some new threads you’ve told people to rest a month but I was originally told to rest two months, try it out, and then rest another month. Is this still what I should do because I’ve suffered from exhaustion for a long time? I wish I would have stopped when I was just getting pain while ejaculating, but instead I continued until loss of erection occurred.
thanks, doc.

ANSWER
Curtis, glad to hear from you.
Yes, 25 years of exhaustion is a long time and will be difficult to recover and rewrite the negative neuroplasticity for only a month of abstinence. However, you may gradually start returning to normal functioning and see if you feel better.

UPDATE
(One Month)
Hi Dr Richards,
I’ve only ejaculated once within a month and although my package feels better (looser with better blood flow) I still can’t get an erection without fondling stimulation and I’ve just recently been getting a burning feeling when urinating, and have the feeling of needing to pee several times throughout the night. Last night it burned more than normal so I spread open the hole to my penis and it looked red inside. Could I have a bladder or Urethra infection? My testicles seem to change shape ever so often. One day they can be small, then average… and when I was getting the burning feeling last night and red penis hole my testicle were very big. This morning they are feeling normal again. I would really like to get your opinion? (I waiting to here back from a blood and urine test for liver/kidney and whatever else from my doctor. Maybe something will show up.)

thank you, sir.
Curtis

UPDATE
One more thing.. also notice that other than my first trip to the washroom in the morning, my urine is usually pretty clear, and not yellow.

I just wish I would have stopped sexual activity when I had pain ejaculating, instead I carried on until I couldn’t get an erection.

Just feels like there is something else wrong than just exhaustion. Slight burning while urinating, red hole, constant feeling of having to pee, especially at night.

another symptom is easy release of stool accompanied with some burning and slight rawness.

thanks again.

ANSWER
Curtis, there might be inconsistencies with the healing process through numerous feedback mechanisms but should fade away. You are most probably still suffering from excessive excitatory and inflammatory prostaglandin E2 levels through the negative neuroplasticity and the years of abuse.

UPDATE
Okay, so I should just stay positive, try not to stimulate myself, and after a while these symptoms should lesson more and more until they go away? I know my nervous system is going crazy and my feet burn and if i get aroused just slightly I feel semen trying to make its way to ejaculate. In fact, it might be withdrawal, because the symptoms seemed to go away for about a week after I ejaculated that one time. Maybe my body is so use to ejaculating every day for 20 years that now it’s not getting it and my nervous system has gone haywire. Hopefully with time this will pass.

Tough stuff to overcome, but my brain is stronger and my anxiety has lesson greatly so I’m staying positive. Just wish my nervous system would relax.

thank you so much for helping me. I feel my life is going to turn around soon.

UPDATE
(Hitting the 3 week period)
Hi Doc,
I’m really having a hard time getting past the 3 week period. Not ejaculating is really got my nervous system jacked up. My feet get cold with a burning sensation, and I’m really anxious and can’t sleep with tingle sensation going through my body. I tried getting massages to calm down, but rubbing my feet or back for more than five minutes in one area can make me feel like I’m going to ejaculate without erection.

Is this just withdrawal? I’ve been ejaculating every day for 15 years so is now my nervous system going nuts without it? As soon as I ejaculate once my entire body feels better, and is good for at least a week and then the symptoms start to creep back.

Should I see a neurologist, or is this just a reaction that is going to happen for a while until my nervous system gets over its addiction? This is tough to do, but I want so badly to get over this… I’m just a bit scared because sometimes at the three week period I even get sharp pains in my head. I sometimes feel a bit sick to my stomach after taking all my pills, don’t think my stomach likes amino acid that much.

I’ve been taking citicoline and also 500mg of L-Argine a day.. is it possible these items or maybe something else is stimulating my nervous system while I’m going through cold turkey?
thanks.

ANSWER
Yes, it is possible to experience numerous symptom fluctuations. Should avoid large quantities of L-Arginine alone without any backing supplements.

Since you start to experience the ill symptoms after a weak, I suggest to just set the masturbation frequency once a weak for some time and later make further adjustments.
