Dr. William Cromwell answered

Specializes in Clinical Lipidology

Usually Not: Yohimbine may create numerous side effects, such as rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, overstimulation, insomnia and/or sleeplessness. All of these are dose dependent and care should be taken when using yohimbine if you have known high blood pressure.
