Side Effects
The American Urological Association officials' guidelines state that yohimbine is not helpful for sexual dysfunction that has "physical causes". The guidelines say that many men and women taking yohimbine benefit from the mere belief that the herb might help them.
At the same time, concerns about the side effects is emerging. Published studies from the A.U.A had found some serious problems. As yohimbine has become more popular in both prescription and over-the-counter forms, the A.U.A. had reported many cases of headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, increased urination, elevated blood pressure, increased heart rate (irregularities), irritability, anxiety, psychosis, spontaneous abortion in women, kidney damage, heart attack, and even death.
If you have liver or kidney disease, do NOT use Yohimbine. If you have chest pain (Angina), depression or another psychiatric illness, heart disease, high blood pressure, or liver disease, be sure to inform your doctor before taking yohimbine. Do NOT use yohimbine if you are using any anti-depressants.
