In reply to Yohimbe and other herbs, posted by wolfman on June 6, 2001, at 6:33:19
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.
