Hi Petters and TSA.TSA, a fact that supports your idea is that yohimbine (Aphrodyne), also a NE-alpha2 antagonist, is known to increase libido. It is sometimes suggested to conteract the side effects of antidepressants. I don't know what other properties yohimbine possesses in order to compare it to other drugs.
