Which, if taken with alcohol, may cause a very bad reaction.

If you're a male, it might make you a little horny!

Not recommended, however, for men with heart conditions: like Viagra, it raises blood pressure.

It's got some really bad side effects, and some of common causes of impotence are contraindications for yohimbe ... it's ironic because it works bet\st in the young and healthy and they are least likely to need it.

Viagra x 1000! People I know who've tried it say it is absolutely not worth the everlasting erection - too much of a good thing I guess...followed by heart palpitations, sweating, restlessness - not good at all.
