I have had no-fap make me feel worse as well sometimes. The thing with addiction and withdrawals though is that it is supposed to get worse before it gets better. This is difficult because when you are struggling the most is also when you are most likely to relapse. I would treat fapping like any other addiction. Actually very possibly harder to deal with than any other addiction: "Freud suggested to Fliess in 1897 that addictions, including that to tobacco, were substitutes for masturbation, "the one great habit."
Orgasm is a VERY powerful high. I have used nicotine and the dopamine hit with subsequent prolactin rise feels very similar though 100x less intense then orgasm. The first time I took a hit of nicotine it hit me how sexual/orgasmic it felt. I have not been able to get addicted to nicotine... not very addicting to me. I think because orgasm is a way greater high. Nicotine pales in comparison.
