Weak muscles, weak legs

Two people said these helped: one took a single high dose of zinc (50–75 mg) now and then and felt weak muscles and sore knees after orgasm eased, but stressed they don't take it often and that nobody should, since too much can be unhealthy over time; the other, who has high prolactin, takes bromocriptine and said it helps with body weakness from POIS.
