Suggest Treatment For Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome
Question: I have Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome. My PCP (family doctor) said he cannot do anything about it because he don't have training in Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome. I want to ask you if there's a medicine that you can recommend for me to tell my family doctor to give me that can cure my Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome? Note that I'm stable, and please do not recommend psychiatric medicine because I have my psychiatrist already confirmed with me which my psychiatrist said that I'm stable and he said I do not need any psychiatric medicine for this problem, he said see internist or see others for this problem. I'm stable and I don't need psychiatric medicine for this problem. My psychiatrist said I just need internist medicine for this, so please refer internist medicine.
I had been painfully suffering and had Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome for approximately six years.

Brief Answer:
Yes there are few tried medicine for POIS
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concern. Post Orgasmic Illness syndrome is a rare disorder that is reported frequently by men of various cultural background.
Although there is no FDA approved medicine for POIS but various herbal molecules tried with mixed results.
Personally I advice the high intake of garlic with moderate dosage of anti histaminic drugs like cetrizine or levocetrizine with good results. The Relora supplement that you are taking is another option but I rarely find it useful with my patients.
Other thing which is advisable is to go for high intensity exercises with balanced diet when practiced for longer term shown good results.
To conclude you please do the following things
1. Regular high intensity exercises
2. High consumption of garlic
3. Low dose of anti histamine like cetrizine 10 mg a day 2 hour before sexual activity.
'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".

I want to ask does high intake of garlic mean take garlic supplement, and if yes, then what is the recommended dosage. If it's not garlic supplement, then how do you recommend I take the high intake of garlic, what is the method of making it?
I have both Zyrtec and Xyzal, which Xyzal was prescribed to me by my family doctor before also for Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome because I asked him to prescribe Xyzal to me. But, my family doctor prescribed to me the Xyzal 5 mg since 10 mg is not covered by my insurance. I want to ask you if 5 mg is O.K.? I want to ask you if cetrizine is Zyrtec and levocetrizine is Xyzal. If yes, then since I have both, and my family doctor can always prescribe Xyzal, then which one do you recommend the best?
Thank you

In most of my patients I recommend them to 10-15 gm of fresh garlic for this purpose (if they prefer to take it with food). In case they have food habits in which they dislike food cooked with garlic it is advisable to take garlic extract in dosage range of 900-1800 mg in three divided dosage per day.
The garlic extract is available online and various ayurvedic stores in my country. I am not aware of USA but I am sure that you can buy one from XXXXXXX or ebay.
Regarding antihistamines I prefer Levocetrizine (Xytal) as it is comparatively less sedative than cetrizine. The usual recommended dosage is 5 mg per day but in case you get inadequate response and do not have troublesome side effects you can go upto 10 mg per day. Xytal is also better for you because of insurance issues.
I like to emphasize here that regarding effectiveness not much difference is reported and whatever suits you most (in regard to side effects) is to be taken.
