Brain fog / Lethargy from Video Games and sex? Anybody else?

Unread post by garycooper »

I had to stop any video games because playing was triggering some awful brain dog, confusion, lethargy. Now even boardgames and having sex do the same thing (for a few hours afterwards). Even TV Series induce a similar effect. Anything dopaminergic induces a sort of debilitating brain fog.
Am I the only one with similar symptoms?

Same. It's probably stress induced cortisol release, which desensitizes 5ht1a receptors further. When receptors become more desensitized, the body responds by inhibiting 5ht release. The inhibition of 5ht release is what causes more intense brain fog. Do you suffer from constipation also? I've been playing online poker recently and my brain fog and constipation have become much worse. I never had these extreme symptoms playing poker or video games until crashing from a 5ht1a agonist.

Luckily I do not feel bad after playing games. In fact I feel bad when I cannot play games.
