Let's make a list of withdrawal symptoms

Has anyone experienced weight loss?

 

Flareup of chronic pelvic pain (syndrome), fatigue, loss of concentration, ED, PE

 

I have a lot of the same symptoms. I also have these visual symptoms you have. After images and blurry vision are some of my vision symptoms as well. But I have some more disturbing ones like visual snow, tracers, shimmering lights and moving shadows. Are you any better now?

 

Week 1-2: Regrets to quit porn,Urges to watch porn, no erection at all, mild mood swings week 3 : Early awakening in the morning,bad mood swings, urges to watch porn and masturbate, mild depression and anxiety. Week4 : terrible mood swing, bad depression, anxiety, dry mouth, terrible insomnia, it was soo bad week 5 : Milder depression,mood swing(happy in the night and sad in the morning) insomnia ,still in week 5 and feeling a bit better than week 4..hope it gets better each day or else I won't be able to cause I Wanna be in the Christmas spirit lol... A Quick question,what do you mean by PMO And EMO?

 

For the majority of 5 weeks in to 11 weeks in:

Been in a flatline. Last 12 or so days felt more energy, moods have stabilized away from extreme depression. still feel emotionless. Still wake up with sore eyes sometimes. Not sure if this is how much I use computers for online school or that Porn messed up my eyes... sometimes they feel very blurry in the mornings. Extremely horny, random urges out of nowhere but very low libido for the most part. Early on I had sore muscles for no reason, and I used to have daily headaches after exercise and meals but those are subsiding for the most part. Vision has improved I think though, eyes have brightened up. Still have some brain fog, but at some points a few weeks ago it was so extreme it was almost unsafe to drive. Music hurt my ears, now I can listen to rap but everything else hurts. Used to feel constantly hopeless and almost suicidal at times, but like I said, moods have stabilized and I am a little more hopeful even though I am still experiencing a flatline. Still feel very detached from people though and negative so I am worried about losing friends because I have definitely offended some people in my super negative state. Had loss of appetite as well and numb joints when working out, most of this has come back and I feel more energy in general but still worried because I have been taking more naps lately. I hope this ends soon.

 

Have you checked out the thread called "P.A.W.S. - what are they, cure, duration"?

 

Yes. I definitely have many of the symptoms. Was much more severe 2 or 3 weeks ago. That is the worst it’s been so far. Hopefully I will continue to see small improvements

 

BROOOO, I have a REALLY strange feeling at the top of my head. It's like is burning, I don't know how translate that in words. Did you feel something like that?

 

I don’t know if I’m in flatline or if it’s just depression.

 

I don't see depression coming suddenly, so if you've just waken up one day feeling depressed, probably it's flatline.

 

Hi every one
Guys I have big problem
Since 132 days when I started NoFap most of days I 3-4 hours sleeping
Most of days I'm waking up 3.30 am and I can't sleep again
Any one face that before bcoz it is really difficult

 

Go to the ER stop posting your symptoms on here look for a therapist or go to Rehab

 

1. selfish.
2. lack of courage.
3. bad decision.
4. escape from horror of responsibility.

 

Can't speak fluently
Lack of quality sleep
Unclarity

 

How many hours u r sleeping?

 

Go to the hospital stop posting your symptoms look for help like a therapist or go to rehab

 

With all due respect, this thread is here for people to talk about the symptoms that they are experiencing. There are many symptoms that people do experience, whether that is down to the withdrawal effects of stopping PMO, or perhaps simply from excessive PMO in the first place, and this is simply a place for people to discuss this.

Hospital, therapy or rehab may not be the best option for most people - it is probably a good thing for people to be able to check things over here before going any further. I know from my own experience that it is extremely difficult to find a therapist who takes PMO seriously as a problem, and therapy is generally very expensive - likewise rehab, so these options may simply not be possible for many people.

 

hmmm, it depends. 6-8 hours. Sometimes have a nap in the afternoon.

 

I’m really sorry didn’t know that this addiction to PMO are evil stay strong I get scared reading about symptoms I have autism and anxiety M made my anxiety worse since I was 13 I used M my longest streak was 165 days I’m glad I’m not to addicted to P I’m glad I’m learning how to control myself not to M

 

I tried a low-carb period one day for like 4 months, and I thought that was much harder & in many ways more extreme than nofap. Right now day 10, and I feel like irritable,frustrated, can't think for 100%, only for 70%, and it is the memory issues that gave me the idea to try this nofap again. I feel weird sensations, the skin on my face feels bizarre, my nose itches, brain fog, felt depressed some days ago but I know it's because what I try to do here. The brain chemical levels in my head have changed. I feel my prefrontal cortex, and those are the intellectual parts of our brains. I tried all this before, and I know that running is a good medication for the withdrawal effects because you are producing dopamine but I couldn't sleep. Now, I try 60 km hikings once a week (was doing this already), and I do not have sleeping issues cause I am too exhausted. But it worsened the mild depression the day after and I know it's a brain chemical depression. I do not have dark thoughts. I know where it is coming from and that it eventually will go away. That helps. But in the meantime it makes life... unpleasant & grey. So... it's a mild addiction. It is definately more mild than low carb withdrawels.
