Yohimbe

[13788]

Late_Bloomer: I'm gettin' ready for my girlfriend to come back from her trip home next week in a number of ways.

As far as sexually, I'm abstaining from masturbation and I got Yohimbe from my local GNC after hearing about it from a friend.

I was wondering if anyone else here has taken it, and if so how well it worked, when you think it is most effectively taken, and if you had any side effects. Also, did you take it in conjunction with any other herbs? (I've heard it's more effective with ginseng, etc.)

Test your tolerance .. find the proper dosage for your body.

I had a similar reaction the first time and realized it's because the 1000 mg dosage was way too high. I then opened the capsule and and poured about 200 mgs into a cup of hot tea before going to bed. The results were great. This was just a test. I was awakened during the night with a full, throbbing boner and had to "take care of business" before I could go back to sleep. Good stuff.

Want side effects? Have a look at this:

Yohimbe "may induce excessive adrenal or sympathetic nerve stimulation, anxiety, panic attacks, high blood pressure, increased heart rate, irritability, headache, nausea, skin flushing, sweating, dizziness, frequent urination, water retention, rise in body temperature, and hyperactivity, weakness, paralysis, gastrointestinal problems, hallucinations, psychosis and even death.

People who have inflammation in their sexual organs should not use Yohimbe.

Yohimbe should not be used by people who are taking drugs - especially tranquilizers, anti-depressants, sedatives, caffeine, amphetamines, antihistamines or narcotics - or significant amounts of alcohol.

Anyone with a heart condition, kidney disease, diabetes, glaucoma, abnormal blood pressure, irregular blood sugar, psychological disorders, or history of gastric or duodenal ulcers should avoid this herb.

Being an MAO inhibitor, yohimbe should not be taken with any food or drink that contain high amounts of tyramine (all wines, beer and ale; cheese, products made with large amount of yeast, salami, sausage, bologna, pepperoni, pickled herring, meat extracts, chicken liver, salted dried fish, avocado, tomato, green bean pods, eggplant, Italian broad beans, banana, red plums, oranges, figs, raisins, soy sauce, bouillon cubes, soya, stored beef) and particularly not with the amino acids tyrosine or phenylalanine. A rise in blood pressure can result from the body not being able to remove the tyramines from these foods." - Healthcare Solutions

Now, Late Bloomer, I know you'll ignore these warnings as alarmist (most of us do) - but I'd strongly advise that you especially keep an eye on your blood pressure.

Especially when having an orgasm.

Donk: I take yohimbe and I think it does give a performance boost. I normally take it 1-2 hours before sexual activity with my gf. I seem to achieve full erection more readily and be able to prolong sex for ages. Usually, I will plunge in with a rock hard erection (my gf is pretty used to my size by now, so entry is usually pretty easy) and get so stimulated that I come fairly quickly, but I stay aroused and keep thrusting with my squishy semi-erect penis until it returns to a full throbbing second erection that I can keep seemingly forever (or until my arms give out, which always comes first). By the time I come again, she has had multiple earth-shattering orgasms.

I say that I only think the yohimbe helps with this because I have been able to do the same thing on a few occasions without taking it. So it might just be psychological. All I know is that I can pull the second erection trick sometimes without yohimbe, but every time with it.

I would mention that I take the yohimbe in the liquid extract form. One dropper-ful an hour or two before sex. I tried the GNC brand pill form and found that the pills made me dizzy and gave me a headache--not very sexy!

P.S. Also, I do not really take the yohimbe in combination with any other herbs. But I do take 120mg of gingko every day, which is supposed to help stimulate bloodflow to the "extremities."

two_fister: i've tried yohimbe.....it kinda works, but as with anything you shouldn't take it all the time. What i think works even better is L-arganine, it's an ammino acid, it increases blood flow. i tried it for a few weeks and noticed a big increase in spontanous erections....it was like i was a teenager all over again. ;D

The tyramines issue is one I've read from a number of impartial and trustworthy sites, because of the increase in blood pressure, but the others are only present in a very small percent of the population and even then, I haven't read about a single trip to the hospital resulting from taking it. So while I appreciate caution, I'm not all that worried about it making me sick so much as not doing anything at all. ;D

I'm not planning on taking it all the time, more like just when we're looking for some hardcore sexual exploits.

For those who have taken it: Is it more effective, you think, taken about an hour ahead of time? That's what I've read on the packaging and online.

rick65: I've taken Yohimbe that I purchased from GNC and had was so sick from the side effects that I dumped the bottle down the toilet. I've been taking a product from Spectum Solutions called "Male Power Plus" and I highly recommend it. You'll will have long lasting erections and you will hang longer and thicker too. Please don't overlook this product. You will like many others be very satified with it. You can go to there website at
http://www.malepowerplususa.com/

ninermd: I took Yohimbe twice and the only thing it did for me was to increase my body temperature. I was unable to sleep with the night sweats... did not like it at all.

bradleeM: It never affected me one way or the other. I never noticed any significant change in my wonderful erections.


So I stopped using them.

black40: Hi I have taken it and I found it to be worthless just like viagra. Both drugs or erbs have major side effects and some very hard to control. On me Yohimbe caused me to go balled on my head with in about 6 weeks and I constantly had a congested nose. I took 3tabs a day like Dr. prescribed . I have reallized that one thing that will really run over these durgs are your state of mind. I have found out if I have sex, jack off ect. I just really need to be horney and yoh-viagra doesn't do anything for me. What does is abstain from ejaculating for 2 days and you will have the best, strongest,largest hard on and most intense orgaism.

What I found most important it having time (take your time) do what you like no matter how kinkey some people may think. Be relaxed and at all times just focus on the moment and block out the rest of the world.

try it and I think you will be supprised that your mind has about 95% pull- on getting it up. Which by the way the doctor put me on 200mg of viagra to take every other day and the onlything I noticed is my bankaccount drainging extremely fast. Really alot of impotance can be overcome by the mind porn movies most of all get rid of the stress and relax Sex is fun get rid of the days work and just focus on you and your partners body, and don't bescared to use a few toys. You will get hard . Get plenty of rest and get rid of caffine.

Try it for a few weeks and please let me know what you think. any questions e-mail me

Gonzo: Try Horny Goat Weed instead of Yohombine. I tried YOCON, the pharmaceutical grade yohombine, and it worked, but it also made me jittery. The Horny Goat Weed (from Pinnacle) works very well. $30 gets you a one month supply. Take it daily and once it builds up in your system you will (or at least I did) get the boost you seek without ths side effects. Since you take it daily, It builds up in your system and you have a more natural reaction. You may also want to add some cardio excercise to your daily routine. This increases your hormone levels and your circulatory system's ability to keep you going.

hotbodz8: I don't personally use yohimbe in my sex life but it is an ingredient I get in another supplement I take. The supplement I'm speaking of is a thermogenic fat burner which I use for cutting bodyfat real fast and for clients of mine that hit a plateau in their fat burning goals (I'm a bodybuilder and a personal trainer). In the thermogenic stack, yohimbe is often used with such substances as ephedra(which has been in the news alot lately) caffeine, and cayenne pepper. The job of these substances is to dilate the blood vessels (hence the incidence of erections), raise the body temperature, and if you're into working out, the ephedra and caffeine along with aspirin or white willow bark have been clinically proven to release fatty acids into the blood stream to be utilized as fuel at a greater rate. In other words they hype your metabolism.

THEREFORE, if you have heart problems, suffer from anxiety, are overweight or take any medications or have any other pre-existing conditions that are already causing stress on your heart or central nervous system: DO NOT USE YOHIMBE or any of these other substances I mentioned. If you don't have any of the aforementioned conditions, may I also recommend that if you're going to use it as a sex aid, make it your morning and early afternoon sex aid because if you take it too late in the day you might get first hand knowledge of what's on TV at 4:00 and 5:00 am, because you'll still be up from the day before!!

thick_1: Yes!!!!
This is absoultly true. I have found this out first hand. It will keep you awake. As for the errections side of it, it does help a little, but also I found that you loose the sensativity and even when I come, I don't realize it. Bizzare. The best thing that I have found is Maca and Ginseng. As far as penis enlarging pills I have tried them and really don't work. They do help in getting an errection and maintaining one, but I have found that the best way to get a full errection is to have my wifes lips clamped around my dick and sucking up to its full attention. ;D

Watch out for problems with kidneys and liver while taking some of this stuff. A few years back, I took a product called 'Diet Fuel' put out by Twinlab and it almost ruined my kidneys and liver. If you've ever had hepititis, don't take any of this crap. They took it off the market and had a class action lawsuit against the maker.
