I read that Milnacipran worked well for you. You said it was 8/10.

How many times did you try Milnacipran with good results and why did you change from Milnacipran to TRT + Escitalopram?
Hi freuemich,
In my POIS Types Chart, those who are reported to have success with milnacipran ( the refererence members) are Hurray and Jan.  Personally, I never took milnacipran.
 My chart data is collected from testimony and post from members.  My own method to control my POIS symtpoms is found at #6 in the chart (  pre-pack with  IDO/TDO/NMDAr blockers+ anti-oxidants).

Sorry, Quantum. I was reffering to drop247

Ok, no problem, I supposed it was possibly the case.  However, Drop247 did not make any update on milnacipran, and never ended being a "reference member" for it, so I supposed that it may had lost effectiveness, or that side effects showed up.  It would be interesting to read his answer to your question.

Hey everyone,

I?ve been living with POIS for a while, and like many here, I?ve gone deep into theory-hopping, forum diving, and trial-and-error protocols.
I?m a scientist by education and a data analyst by profession.
Recently, I started to suspect that POIS in my case is strongly tied to gastrointestinal imbalance ? particularly gut microbiota composition.

I?ve read the Dysbiosis/SIBO/SIFO references in the POIS hypothesis lists, and I believe it?s time we try to collect actual data to see if something unites us ? or at least a subset of us ? on the microbiome level.

🔍 Here?s what I propose:
Let?s start a crowdsourced microbiome comparison project:

If you?ve done a gut microbiome test (like from Genova, Viome, Atlas Biomed, Genotek, BiomeFx, etc.)

And you?re willing to share anonymized results ? great.

No need to post your name. Just the results (PDF/CSV/screenshot) and some basic metadata, like:

Age / gender

POIS duration

Key symptoms

When test was done

Once I get enough data (even 10?20 samples), I?ll compare it to open-access healthy microbiome databases like HMP, American Gut, GMrepo, etc.

🎯 Goal:
See if there are common microbiome traits in POIS sufferers (e.g., lack of butyrate-producing bacteria, SIBO patterns, high enterobacteria, low diversity, etc.)

Try to define POIS-associated microbial fingerprints that could be tested and tracked

Possibly this info can help someone to find better treatment through targeted pre/pro/postbiotics or even antibiotics or whatever helps.

✅ What I?ll do with the data:
Aggregate and anonymize it

Analyze bacterial abundances and compare across POIS users and healthy controls

Publish results here for open discussion

If there?s interest ? maybe even write a summary report we can share more widely

If you want to share, comment below or DM me. I?ll create a Google Form soon to help structure submissions.

If this sounds interesting to you ? or if you have ideas on how to improve it ? I?d love your input.

Let?s stop guessing in the dark. If the gut plays a role in POIS, the data will show it.

Thanks for reading 🙏

It would be interesting to have a representative sample of POIS'ers to take the OAT-test and to see wether we all have candida-traces...
It would absolutely make sense that if there's a yeast infection in the prostate....

I actually had 2 specialists before doing the OAT suspect Candida, and one of them mentioned the possibility of a Candida/fungal overgrowth in the prostate. I also sense that POIS is more than just a Candida/fungal overgrowth in the GI. I have a sense it's deeper in the body. Prostate would make sense.

One of them was a Dr specialising in low carb, and he actually put me on oregano oil, burberin etc but I didn't follow through as I didn't completely trust his direction.

Would be very interesting for everyone with POIS to do an OAT test during peak POIS symptoms.

As I've mentioned in previous posts, I hit many of the hallmark symptoms/characteristics for Candida/fungal overgrowth. Long history of fungal issues. So it's all adding up really. I actually briefly remember that before I got POIS, I cleared a 10 year fungal toe nail with Terbinafine. I wonder if it 'cleared' the fungal in the toe, but pushed the fungal deeper into other parts of my body causing POIS.
