The side effects were minimal: One man became nauseous and two complained of dizziness. Reducing the dosage and then increasing it again slowly took care of the vertigo.

If the results with human subjects turn out to be the same as with laboratory rats, yohimbine may prove to be beneficial for men with low sexual desire and chronic testosterone deficiency. Researchers at Stanford University divided rats into two groups: The unfortunate ones got nothing, while the others received yohimbine. Twenty minutes after the shots, the yohimbine-treated rats were engaged in the rodent version of an orgy, exhibiting twice the sexual behavior of the rats who didn’t get yohimbine.

The success with the rats could be due in part to their large dose and the fact that the yohimbine was injected. Humans are given smaller doses in a pill form that isn’t as easily absorbed as the injections.

The best advice is to look upon yohimbine as something of a long shot. Discuss your options in detail with your physician, and remember that other treatments, like penile implants and shots, are available.
