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.

ANSWER
Yes, the symptoms you describe are typical for moderate case of sexual exhaustion.

“I like to no can sexual exhaustion also cause digestive problems like bloating and nausea because i notice if i masturbate like 3 or 4 times in one day, my digestive tract becomes way off and i get burning in the back of the neck and head.”

Yes, sexual exhaustion will cause digestive problems – mainly through the increased epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol, and prostaglandin E2 levels, and at the same time, abnormal serotonin, acetylcholine, and dopamine levels.
The burning in the back of the neck and head is probably a direct result of excessive inflammatory response for heightened prostaglandin E2 levels, as well as artery constriction in the area.

“It is really stressing me out and i know worrying about it just makes it worse, can you please tell me everything i can do to get better and get my body back to normal?”

Since the cycle of inflammation is usually self supporting, there are several issues that have to be addressed at once to avoid negative feedback mechanisms and reactions.

For the specific case, a combination of: Alpha-Amino, Multi-Alpha, 5HTP-Nettle, GRB6-GABA, and Ultra-Purified-FishOil will better nervous and endocrine functioning, stabilize acetylcholine, serotonin, dopamine, and GABA levels, modulate inflammatory response for less cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine, histamine, glutamate, and prostaglandin E2, increase androgens through hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-testicular axis, increase prostaglandin E1 E3 and Nitric Oxide, alter numerous gene expressions, and rewrite the negative neuroplasticity developed.

Exercise, proper diet, positive thinking, negative ion exposure, massages, and sexual abstinence for 2 to 4 weeks may also prove beneficial and aid the process of rejuvenation.

The post Over masturbation / digestive problems appeared first on Cure ED.

ANSWER
Yes, you’re suffering from symptoms of sexual exhaustion.

The symptoms listed are frequently observed. One may suffer from quite a few symptoms and still be able to perform well sexually if the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-testicular axis is functioning properly – it is an individual feature. Some men will suffer from faulty working hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-testicular axis and low androgens in the beginning of the exhaustion, when the modulation of inflammatory and stress hormones release is weakened.

In your case the organism is still managing to keep reasonable amounts of androgens to be burned through sexual activities, but the inflammatory response is severe and damaging. The panic attacks, stress, nervousness, pain in the head, premature ejaculation, vision problems, low back pain, are all related to abnormal serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, and GABA levels, along with excessive cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine through the excessive dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine conversions, histamine, glutamate, and prostaglandin E2, along with the followed artery constriction for even increased inflammation. An eventual loss of erectile power and proper sexual functioning is quite probable.

A full recovery is usually very possible. Since the cycle of inflammation is self supporting, there are numerous problems that have to be addressed at once to avoid negative feedback mechanisms and rewrite the negative neuroplasticity developed.

A combination of Alpha-Amino, Multi-Alpha, GRB6-GABA, Zeolite-DA, 5HTP-Nettle, Ultra-Purified-FishOil to restore proper nervous and endocrine functioning, stabilize acetylcholine, serotonin, dopamine, GABA levels, aid the weakened modulation on inflammatory and stress response, detoxify the burdened liver (such a severe inflammation would not be possible with proper liver functioning) and restore its P450 system, increase prostaglandin E1 E3 and Nitric Oxide production, alter numerous gene expressions and eventually rewrite the negative neuroplasticity.

Negative ion exposure, massages, proper diet, sexual abstinence for 2 to 4 weeks, exercise, and possitive attitude will prove to be beneficial.

Glad if I could help!

UPDATE
thank you for that info, it is really helpful, I will try my best to restore my nervous system and endocrine, because i don’t want to lose erection power. I have one more question if you don’t mind, i really don’t get enough sleep and i read that the parasympathetic nervous system recharges itself by sleep and resting and that it controls erection and other organs, by not getting enough sleep will that slow down recovery time?

ANSWER
Yes, it is important that you sleep at least 6 to 8 hours per 24 hour cycle – 8 to 10 would be even better. Less than 6 hours will, indeed, slow down the recovery process.

The post Over masturbation / pain in the head appeared first on Cure ED.

ANSWER
You are suffering from moderate symptoms of sexual exhaustion.
– The heat burning through the upper body – excessive norepinephrine, epinephrine, histamine, and prostaglandin E2.
– Throbbing headache during sex – artery constriction as a result of weak nervous modulation on inflammatory response and flooding norepinephrine and epinephrine.
– Hair loss – excessive testosterone – DHT conversions and poor scalp blood circulation.
– Poor urination – inflamed prostate.
– Panic attacks, social nervousness, and weight loss – excessive sympathetic firing as a result of the weak nervous modulation on excitatory and inflammatory response.
– Allergies – autoimmune inflammatory response.

The kidney deficiency is actually exhausted hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Since the adrenal gland is situated on the kidneys, the chinese doctors used the term kidney deficiency.

The catch here is that it is a self supporting condition so there aren’t many options available. Most of the doctors will ignore the root of the problem and just prescribe you testosterone replacement and antidepressants.

You should:
1. Discontinue sexual activities for a month and gradually return to normal.
2. Make a good use of Alpha-Amino, GRB6-GABA, 5HTP-Nettle, Zeolite-DA, Multi-Alpha, and Ultra-Purified-FishOil to better nervous and endocrine functioning, stabilize acetylcholie, serotonin, dopamine, and GABA levels, restore proper nervous modulation on inflammatory response, detoxify and better liver functions and its P450 system, rewrite the negative neuroplasticity, better hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-testicular axis, increase androgen hormones, jump start the CNS, and increase prostaglandin E1 E3 and Nitric Oxide.
3. Consider solutions to additionally address the levels of androgen hormones by testicle temperature regulation.

The post Help for Sexual Exhaustion – EA 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.

The post Suffering From Many Symptoms Of Sexual Exhaustion appeared first on Cure ED.

Now to get at the present time, I have numerous problems but the biggest is that I have a serious girlfriend and weak sexual function. My orgasms are not nearly as strong as they used to be, on top of everything I have frequent urination needs and can’t hold urine as strong as I could. I’m also experiencing some mild symptoms of panic attacks when I talk to too much people and it’s embarrassing. When I get these attacks I just pretend that I have to go to the bathroom to calm down. Please help me. I saw the products that you recommend but which one should I take exactly? What product would get rid of these symptoms? How and when can I get back to rock hard erections and strong orgasms naturally? Your help is greatly appreciated!

ANSWER
I’m sorry to hear about your problems, since they could have been avoided with a little more information on the subject.

Your age is 24, but you sexual age is around 55-60. The cause of weak erection and orgasm is the exhaustion of the dopamine-hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal and testicular axis. The cause of urinary incontinence is the exhaustion of your cholinergic-serotonin-GABA nervous control, with hyperactive noradrenergic-sympathetic nervous action on the bladder, urethra and prostate.

You will need to discontinue any sexual activities for 1 to 3 months, until you can achieve rock hard erections that last without any physical stimulation.

You will also strongly benefit from a general nervous rejuvenation with Multi-Alpha, Alpha-Amino, 5HTP-Nettle, and Ultra-Purified-FishOil to stabilize your serotonin and GABA nervous control, increase androgens, boost your prostaglandin E-1/E-3 and Nitric Oxide production for healing.

You also need to stay positive, that is to avoid any excessive cortisol or epinephrine release.

Glad if I could help!

UPDATE
I ordered the products and am eager to start taking them.
Thank you!

UPDATE
I’ve been taking the package for 20 days. They immediately made me calmer and somewhat less sexual but more energized which I found strange. I’m not experiencing any panic attacks, in fact I feel like the king of the world. The erection power is notably stronger, but at the same time I don’t crave for sex that much. Why is that? I wonder if my libido will return. Thank you so very much!

UPDATE
Almost 2 months on the supplements and I’m as horny as in my early fifteens or somethin’. I though this site was after my money but ordered them anyway and really this s**t works!!
THANK YOU, THANK THANK THANK YOU!

And a quick question, if I change to the new supplements will they deliver even better results? I’m kind of happy the things are now but better is even better you know!

The post Chronic masturbation led me to these symptoms. Please help me! appeared first on Cure ED.

I’m in loss what was causing all that, fortunately I’ve read your articles and could explain to myself what was causing it. My penis has gotten very hard and numb when flaccid and I suspect serious nerve damage. Is there anything I can do to restore nerve function and get rid of most of the other symptoms? Your help would be very much appreciated!
J.B.

ANSWER
I’m sorry to hear that it took you so much time to find the cause of the symptoms.
The chronic over-masturbation has burned out your parasympathetic-vagal, GABA and serotonin nervous control on your conversion of dopamine-norepinephrine-epinephrine(adrenalin) that takes place in the hypothalamus, hippocampus, brain stem and adrenal medulla. You have also induced high levels of prostaglandin E2 that over-excite the sympathetic nervous system and most probably produced various neurotoxins. Since you have urinary incontinence it is clear that you damaged and the parasympathetic, serotonin, GABA nervous control on your prostate and bladder.

You will have to discontinue any sexual activities for 1 to 3 months. Supplemental support to rejuvenate your neuro-endocrine function and boost your prostaglandins E1 and E2 and NO(nitric oxide) production for healing will also prove beneficial.

You need Multi-Alpha, 5HTP-Nettle, Alpha-AGH, Alpha-Amino, and Ultra-Purified-FishOil.
Additionally, you may want to consider testicle cooling to reliably optimize your androgen levels by temperature regulation.

Glad if I could help.

UPDATE
A quick update. I’ve been taking the supplements for 7 days now. I also started going to the gym and eating well balanced diet. What can I say, I had problems with abstraining from masturbation, it turned out to be more difficult than I thought.. but by the time the supplements arrived I was good to go.

The thing I noticed 2 days after taking them was that I’ve slept better and felt more sharp in the morning. I’m still feeling more focused and everything around seems more real somehow, I can’t explain it. However, my penis is still kind of numb. And the other symptoms are yet to resolve. How long till a see a noticeable improvements?

I know I’m a bit hasty with the results, but who wouldn’t be? Thank you very much!

ANSWER
You are on the right track there. Have a little patience.

UPDATE
It’s been 2 week on the supplements and what can I say you deserve a medal or something! I had my first spontaneous erection in 10 years! To me this is the second sign that the changes I made in my life are paying off all thanks to you dr.!

Not only that but I’m much calmer, sharper and energized. I used to feel like a time bomb or something always anxious and tense, afraid of everything even crowds, but now I notice a change in my character itself! I work nearby so I walk to work and used to feel really tense when it’s dark and strangers are passing by – thinking that they may take my money or beat me up or something like this, but 3 days ago noticed that I wasn’t even thinking about this I was so certain that nothing wrong can happen and felt invincible just like in my twenties.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING ME BACK TO LIFE!

ANSWER
I’m certainly happy to have helped.
You are experiencing faster nervous rejuvenation than the average observed. It seems that your body was in deep need for these substances, once it got it it was able to jump start the healing.
Wish you a fast recovery!
