> Well I've certainly enjoyed reading your responses. Thanks for the info. I think I'll buy some of that yohimbe and see what happens. Whew-hoo! Wish me/us luck! Thanks guys!
Joanie,
I would recommend Yohimbe Fuel by Twinlabs, but I must caution you that this is a serious herb with some serious risks. I've pasted the warning label below:
"Warning:
This product contains yohimbe bark extract which contains yohimbine. Do not use this product if you are at risk or are being treated for high blood pressure, heart, kidney, thyroid or psychiatric disease, anxiety, depression, seizure disorder or stroke. Consult your health care professional before use if you are taking antidepressants, MAO inhibitor or any other prescription drug. Not for use in children, geriatric patients or females. Discontinue use and consult your health care professional if dizziness, sleeplessness, tremor, nervousness, headache or heart palpitations occur. Not intended for use by persons under the age of 18, keep out of reach of children."The side-effects that I experienced were frequent urination (I believe it's a diuretic), nervousness, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and insomnia. Unfortunately, its effect as a stimulant outlasts its "other" effects. So he may have difficulty sleeping afterwards. In any case, please be sure yohimbe won't put him at risk before taking it. He'll know when it kicks in, or atleast I did :)
Be careful and have fun,
Jonp.s. I don't mean to scare you. Many people take yohimbe without a problem, but please make the decision to try it knowing that many countries including the US have classified it as an unsafe herb. You may wish to search the internet to find out more about it.
