Hi Larry, everyone, the short version is that I found that using Yohimbine 15mg/day to augment my antidepressants prozac 20 and wellbutrin 300, clomipramine 50, (&Abilify 15mg) has helped my depression immensely. In addition to ~ 4 cups coffee/day.
But something doesn't feel right with my heart. I have normal blood pressure, but the caffeine and yohimbine cause palpitations which is okay I guess? but my breathing is slightly shallow, ..
after reading FDA warnings that yohimbine can act as a MAO inhibitor, is bad for numerous conditions, including high blood pressure,.... Obviously the pharm. companies have a vested interest in discouraging herbs... but is there any chance yohimbine could be causing this cardiac sensation.
Is it safe to take... it's the only substance that has helped my treatment resistant MDD. Thanks so much for your input
