Yohimbe and other herbs

Posted by wolfman on June 6, 2001, at 6:33:19

I was interested in men's experiences with herbs and
conteracting the sexual side effects of drugs like
effexor.

I have seen many different yohimbe formulas over
the counter but I am looking for a recommended
dosage and also any special combinations with
other herbs you've found efective for increasing
drive and performance.

Do you prefer capsule forms or extracts?

I am leaning toward a yohimbe/saw palmetto blend
in a capsule that is to be taken 3 times a day.
Also taking an american ginsing 3 times per day.
I will check the bottles and post the listed
contents.

In medical articles that I have read, they generally recommend trying Ginkgo before trying Yohimbine for AD induced sexual problems. Gingo works well for me (I take Celexa for anxiety and depression). The recommendation is up to 240 mg per day for Ginkgo (120 mg 2x per day). You should start at 120 per day then work up to 240 if needed. It may take a few weeks to start working. If you have bleeding problems then you should not use it.

If you use Yohimbine, monitor your blood pressure since it could increase it.

wolfman! I got a prescription for yohimbe from
my psychiatrist; it is a lot cheaper for me
this way.
