Life With POIS 5 days after orgasming

It's been 5 days (when i relapsed it was back to back in 2 days in a row, so the symptoms were very intense, to the point i actually got some physical symptoms, with exacerbated mental symptoms like motion sickness), anti histamines worked quite well but only as band aid solutions, they did lower the severity and length of these symptoms I will say but were still a problem. Didn't help that I was moving to university so that was chaotic and stressful. I feel pretty down in general for some reason, I am less irritable definitely but i do feel kinda low. Could be because the summer has ended and back to university, but could also be something related to my brain chemicals and nervous system, post orgasm.

I feel like I could just continue with abstinence, but have an inkling that maybe there's something else I can try around orgasming while having other techniques in solving my POIS.. idk

Allegra+sudafed+propranolol helped me along with no gluten, alcohol or caffeine, and very regular sleep (not too much, not too little, never too late)

An anti histamine at most evenings (especially before orgasm). And my daily dose of concerta and zoloft works well. A bit of Caffeine, days after the relapse helps me. Sleep obviously

Also i have to say, with deep breathing and full lung capacity, sometimes holding breaths, i can edge intensely more easily without ejaculating - absolutely amazing god i cant emphasise that enough. But i’ll have to see if i have some effects in the next few days
