Side Effects of Yohimbine HCL

fatburner2007 · 07-31-2007, 02:42 PM

Interested in feedback from others who have used Yohimbine HCL. It has been a while since I have used it, but when I did, it was one ingredient of many in a preworkout supplement. After trying to figure out what was causing it, it seemed the Yohimbine HCL was making me nausea.

Is this typical of Yohimbine HCL or less of a problem when using the bulk Yohimbine HCL powder?

Actually I've had products that have had Yohimbe in it and I've also had nausea. I don't recommend anything more than 10mg. That's just me. I don't mind caffiene and whatnot, but those herbal shlt is a little too hardcore for me.

What dose did you supplement with? or what was the product?
In my experience, the first few times you take yohimbine hcl it will hit you much differently than once you have supplemented with it for a few days/week. My point being is that if you dose slightly high the first time you take it, its likeley to cause this. Try a low dose of 2-6 mg and work up from there. it should minimize effects.

I have never had a bad experience with Y-HCl. It helps out with ab fat loss when taken properly and didn't effect my BP or HR significantly.

The more I think about it, it might have been the plain Yohimbine HCl Caps which were likely 2.5mg per cap. Think I started with either one or two caps, might even have tried one cap and I could feel the effects big time.

2.5mg of yohimbine gave u ill sides? it can give some unpleasant sides if dosed a little higher for sure. for example, 15+mg's would give a huge energy boost for a while but then you crash, and get sides like shortness of breathing, nausea, and just a really strange feeling altogether, its not fun. thats just me though, u may be more susceptible at much lower doses. i dont go above 10mg per dose at most(normally only do about 5mg though), and really spread out the doses like 7-8 hours or so.

Yeah, going to try it again and hopefully have better luck with it this time.

the only side I have had from it that was undesireable was a walking hard on. Other than that I love the stuff!

First time I ever took yohimbine hcl.. i popped 9mg and felt a little jittery... but that was it

perhaps it was possible that it was yohimbe? which can host many other side's due to its extraction

that will do it. there are a lot of different alkaloids in yohimbe that will just give an unpleasant feeling when taking to much.

same herre. I love the stuff...

It was a while ago, so just might had been that instead of y-hcl. Anyways, put it on my order today and going to give it another shot.

Yohimbe makes me jittery..almost clen-like.

Elevates my BP everytime.

I'm finding I do NOT like it for pre-WO on lifting days...that's when I feel semi-naseous and short of breath...makes me not want to push hard.

Pre-cardio is an entirely different story. It's great for that and on par with ephedrine IMO.

imo, yohimbine is much cleaner feeling then yohimbe. i will not use yohimbe again, but i love yohimbine+caffine.

If it makes you feel that weird lower the dose. No biggie. It has that kick that I need, and if I need more kick then I adjust the dose. Reliability is an amazing thing..

We have a lot of experience with yohimbine-containing supplements (and for those who don't know, yohimbe and yohimbine are very different things).

Even yohimbine HCl, though, can cause unpleasant side effects at low doses for some people. Anxiety, increases in heart rate and blood pressure, etc.

So, we keep yohimbine in our fat loss topicals to avoid systemic delivery, while we sub
