Yohimbe : Strong Stuff

I received a commercial sample of Yohimbe root powder. The package said to take 1 tsp 2-3 times daily for stimulation, ED treatment, etc. I thought I would check out what kind of stimulant this is by taking 1 big tsp before work.

Dumb move

An hour later my eyes are more bloodshot than if I had smoked a gram of chronic, my pupils are different sizes and growing, my entire body is shaking and quivering like i'm coming up on some strong PEA, and I'm starting to feel like I've just gobbled down some cheap energy pills. A slight headache, an anxiogenic body presence, and general unpleasantness follows for perhaps 4-5 hours.

As soon as my boss saw me she asked me if I was ok. Another employee asked me if I had just been crying.

It mercifully did not last as long as I had heard it would, and I was laughing 3 hours into it "They want me to take another tsp right now?"

I had trouble getting to sleep at night. I dosed at 10 am and was lying in bed awake and wondering how to get to sleep at 2 am.

This stuff is no joke, if you are in a survival situation and need to stay awake this will do it, but it is highly unpleasant. I also noticed decreased sexual potency, in fact my penis shriveled up during the bulk of the experience, like some drugs will do. Even had strange difficulty masturbating, kept losing the boner and losing interest.

Start very low dose with this one!

 

Doesn't sound like a very good experience. I never take new things before work.. lol. If it were less unpleasent I might have tried it. I was interested in it before but never got any.

That's sucks that you couldn't sleep, and even more that you could not relieve yourself easlily before sleep also.

I seem to go to get to sleep faster, stay asleep longer and wake up more refreshed when I get laid or masterbate before bed.

 

Isn't that a contradiction?

Most stimulants do this to (to me at least). Kind of weird they would advertise as a stimulant that helps with ED lol?

 

In small doses amphetamines can make me hard as steel and last a loooong time.
Larger "amping speedy" doses have the opposite effect.
Pot is still my favorite sexual enhancer, my wife's too although she isn't the one who uses it.

 

iv tried yohimbe before as well, but had none of the symptoms you describe. sounds like you took more than your body wanted.

 

I have heard other ppl say that pot is a sexual enhancer for them. It doesn't work for me or my hubby that way, maybe we smoke too much.

 

This flashes me back to the 1st time I took dexadrina 45 years ago in Mexico. Went to the farmacia and got a bottle of 30 for a couple of dollars. Took 1/2 tab and nothing happened. Took 2 and nothing. Took 3 or 4 and nothing, though I did seem to be a much more interesting conversationalist. Took some more, jeezuz, I'm thirsty and some more and I really had a lot to say - all of it amazing and funny and perfect and anyway I went to a room with a girl and I looked down and there was this pitiful little worm... Oh well, I could always gabble on and drink cokes.

 

I suspect as much, obviously yohimbine levels are variable in the bark just like psilocybin levels in magic mushrooms. i think i just got a wicked potent tsp.

That's probably it. when i smoke too much sex is the last thing on my mind. but just enough, and it's all i think about.

 

I've had basically the same experience with yohimbe tea. I had used fairly small amounts just to see if it did anything--minimal sexual enhancement and stimulation--but one time I made tea with quite a bit and got extremely wired and decidedly unsexual. I felt slightly nauseous the whole time and laid in bed until I was a little bit calmer. An interesting herb, but I haven't seen much point in using it again.

 

Wow really!?
It works great for me, it quadruples my staying power.
I mean if I smoke a joint before doing the deed, I can easily last 4 minutes, sometimes even 5!

 

Yep, doesn't really do anything sexually for me, unfortunately lol. .

 

As far as sex with any drug goes, if I am still somewhat able to comprehend shit, I am all for it. Once I get too f`ed up on any drug I get anxious and same shit happens to me. I think it's all about taking small doses to enhance your sexual experiance, instead of trying to enhance the drug with sex. If that makes any sense to anyone..

 

Ummm, psychedelic sex sessions are out of this world.
