Conundrum,
You could be right that the worsening of my depressive symptoms following masturbation could be related to a drop in norepinephrine levels. That might explain why I didn't feel depressed after masturbating when I was taking Nardil. Then again, Wellbutrin is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and didn't stop me from feeling depressed after masturbating, so I don't know. As you said, I don't think that anyone can really say for sure what the cause(s) of this problem is/are.
Sleeping right after I finish masturbating doesn't really make the problem of feeling more depressed after masturbating any better. I guess it does in the sense that I don't have to be conscious during part of the period of time when I'd be feeling the most depressed, but I still feel more depressed than usual for the remainder of the 24-hour period following masturbation, if that makes any sense.
