This alternative remedy functions by dilating the blood vessels of the skin and mucus membranes, thereby decreasing the blood pressure, and increasing the blood to the surface of the sex organs. If, however, the individual is hypotensive (with low blood pressure) and fatigued, then temporary impotence may result. It also acts to "increase reflex excitability of the lower spinal cord region" and has a local anesthetic effect like cocaine.
CAUTION: Yohimbe should never be taken with substances or foods that contain the amino acid tyramine which includes liver, cheese, red wine, some diet aids, and decongestants. Yohimbe should be avoided if any of the following conditions are present: hypotension (low blood pressure); diabetes; heart, liver, or kidney disease; nervous disorders, such as schizophrenia. Yohimbe has caused anxiety reactions and even psychosis. Symptoms of overdose include weakness and nervous stimulation followed by paralysis, fatigue, and stomach disorders.
