User Reviews for yohimbe

If you are a new user of yohimbine then for most even the 2.5 mg dosage will produce increased sympathetic output, and the same is required for arousal and libido... And so if someone is planning to take it then always try to start with the least possible dosage and then titrate it based on your personal response. And for the people who are already athletic (eg.doing cardio, HIT ,resistance training on a regular basis) or those who are athletic and want some extra performance then 2.5mg dosage isn't likely to do anything as you're sympathetic output is already set at a very higher threshold and thus stimulating that usually requires a certain amount and intensity of exercise and even 7.5 to 10mg of yohimbine won't do any good.. Consult with a MD if you have erectile dysfunction and are athletic/do exercise on a regular basis as other factors/drugs needed to be looked upon rather than increasing yohimbine dosages... And yes for any person who don't do exercise on a regular basis/office goer/sedentary individuals this will lead to symptoms(palpitations, sweating ,feeling cold thereafter, headache etc) as it is stimulating your sympathetic nervous system while you are just sitting and expecting your fat to melt away..it is always meant to be taken before some exercise as exercise itself is a way to stimulate the sympathetic system and dispose off calories and thus try to move around a bit while you've taken it and not just sit and expect that it will burn the fat and you will feel nothing...

Similar reaction as most have described. Felt like I had the flu, hot/cold at the same time, like the body does to protect the core, but extremities got cold for the first 2 hrs. Will withhold comment till I get dosage right. Probably took to much for the first time.

Not a fun experience. Jittery, racing heart, not able to get to bed at night, nauseated. Just an overall bad time. It's been 11 hours and feels like my heart rate is just now starting to normalize. Only took a third of the recommended dose.

After taking Cialis and Viagra without the desired effect, I decided to give Yohimbe a try. It sure was a lot cheaper. First let me say, about 80% of the time it did have the desired effect. Thought I was 20 again, but the side effects were terrible and not worth the dangers. I had sweating, chills, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, increased phlem in throat, and I could forget about going to sleep. So I've decided the risks to my health definitely isnt worth the benefits it may give. Read More Read Less

Makes you sick.do not take...and nervous...do not take

I took this yesterday. 2 pills. 3mg in Burn Evolved. I felt ok all day until I ate and then I power puked for 10 minutes. I haven’t puked in 20 years.

Pros: Erecting quality As well as sensation in the area much better Con: 1hr after taking heart rate sky rockets to the moon Literally feel your heart pumping through your chest Nausea Sensation of wanting to vomit Light headed Loss of balance periodically Ok so I bought yohimbe extract from my gnc store; I was curious of the effect that it potential had. First time I took this I popped 1,350 mg and out of no where, an hour later, felt my superior vena open up, like it braced it’s self for the rapid heart beat. I had this for like 2 hrs straight. Horrible feeling. At this time I didn’t know what it was because I was also taking it with maca root and fern geek. So the next day I took it again, same thing happened. I literally had to stop taking all my supplements for a while of the scares I had. I started taking my regular supplements again and I lost the yohimbe bottle, still had my maca and fren geek so I took them again. Nothing, smooth sailing, I had maxed erections and libido again. I ran out of maca and I went to the store I didn’t find it, so I took yohimbe the next best thing, I thought. I took 1350 mg again and sure enough surprise surprise heart rate through the roof! I lower my dose down to 450mg but even still I can feel elevated heart rate at times. I do take most of my supplements in the morning with an empty stomach so maybe that also has to do something, but as of right now after reading all the comments, I will be taking it every other day now to see if anything does change regarding heart irregularities.

Made me feel very jittery and had a feeling like I had a fever for around 2 hours. I was sweating but felt very cold. Took at about noon and felt like I had the flu for the rest of the day.

I tried it for the first time this weekend. One hour after taking 1 pill, I had an erection like I use too. I had a massive ejaculation but was able to remain erect. I had flushing and it kept me awake most of the night but it was worth it!

I started using it in 2003, i was 40 and back then it came in low doses 1mg and i took two tablets a day for six months. It seems the lower the dose the better so that there is no reaction as in the higher doses. At the end of the six months i was able to get an erection permanently without taking the pill at all for almost 15 years. Now I’m 57 and back at it with very low doses again because the higher doses are way to much and i feel jittery and sweaty. So i take my 4MG pills and dump half or more out so you have to start out with low doses, it seems to work better.Read More Read Less

I was struggling with keeping my erection rock hard during sex, and took a FullForce Yohimbe Bark 2,500 mg pill approximately 45 minutes to an hour before we got down to the fun stuff. It worked perfectly at first but started to drop off after around 20 minutes or so, it was after that drop off that the side effects came in hard. My heartbeat wouldn’t go down, I felt very hungry, and my eyes started feeling very very light pain, almost like an ache. A stomachache came in later. All light stuff but I wouldn’t recommend if you have a high pulse or blood pressure. I know it works for what I want it to work for, so I’m planning on trying a half-dose to see how my body reacts(1,250mg). *Note I was not taking any other supplements or medications at the time.

The side effects are there. Must use caution upon using just a pinch to see how your body reacts

I use PrimaForce Yohimbe HCL. Went to my doc, was looking for some Viagra to help w/ semi-softness. He recommended trying Yohimbe, so I did. At first, 1 pill (2.5 MG) was too much - sweating, rapid heart rate, etc., so I bought empty gel caps and cut the dosage in 1/2 and had good results. Take about 45 min's before the fun starts, but the effets can last a few hours, so it's not a problem. I guess with time, usage, and tolerance. I now use 1 whole pill (2.5 MG) and am fine. I also take schisandra with it and the results are great. I occasionally do take 1/2 of the lowest dose of generic Viagra and it has a much stronger effect on my erection and ability to multiple times in one evening....which is great for a getaway weekend with lots of fooling around (no kids!) But for just regular old fun at home, Yohimbine HCL does quite well. Research Schisandra and see if it works for you. Read More Read Less

used yohimbe power max 2000. Took recommend dose of 2 vegcaps with meal. An hour later it kicked in all of a sudden. I first experienced sweating of the chest and neck. 15min after that, stomach was hurting and had slight diarrhea. 30min after I had rapid and irregular heart rate. And hour after I experienced vertigo and was dizzy. I ended up going to bed at 10pm and couldn't sleep at all till 5am. It was horrible and had mental and emotional stress. The only reason I rated effectiveness high is I had a strong erection from 5am as I began to fall asleep until 8am. I've taken many supplements for bodybuilding and never had issues. This particular one, I would not recommend to anyone. Side affects may not affect everyone but for those who do experience then like I did, its horrible.Read More Read Less

I have been using Yohimbe as a sexual stimulant for over a decade. I use it in conjunction with Maca, L-Arginine, Horny Goat Weed, Ginseng, and cinnamon bark. It does stimulate my central nervous system, but since I am engaged in sexual intercourse I don't mind. I view it as one of the benefits of the Yohimbe. I not only achieve strong erections, I also have a MUCH shorter refractory rate. Using this combination I can have sex 2 or 3 times in a night with refractory rates of 20-30 minutes which I find amazing given the fact that I am 11 days from my 54th birthday.Read More Read Less

Yohimbe has helped me gain the most awesome erections

The day I first took this Irwin Yohimbe Plus I got violently sick, vomiting, dierea, uncontrollable shaking

My husband took this and is complaining of heart palpitations, dizziness and nausea. Great...Look before you leap.

Has increased arousal to the point that I have had both spontaneous ejaculations as well as wet dreams (in late 40s). Probably would not enjoy with a partner as the urge for release can get so strong. It's very easy to take too much and have my heart pounding, which is pretty scary. I usally only take one capsule at a time now, 2 is too much for me.

took a dose and became extremely jittery, nauseous, sick to my stomach..I wont be taking these again...general bad experiance. GNC employee told me it is used for dietary supplement...not E.D....I wont be using it for either use.
