my doctor prescribed me viagra 100mg as needed before intercourse and yohimbine hcl 5.4mg three times a day. I noticed that some take yohimbine hcl at a dose of 10-20mg just before sexual activity rather than the prescribed three times a day. what i did was took viagra 1 hour before sexual activity and 10.8mg of yohimbine hcl half an hour later. I don't think I noticed any firmer erection when yohimbine was included but what i noticed was as soon as i insert my penis in her vagina i want to ejaculate and it is very hard to hold it back... Is this normal or i shouldn't combine viagra and yohimbine hcl together.Thanks

Added 30 May 2014:
I did ask my doctor if i can only take yohimbine hcl at 10.8mg about half and hour before intercourse and he said its ok if i can bear it.
One more thought ,,in the past i used yohimbe bark powder as a tea and i used something like 2-5 tea spoons to make a tea on different occasions. i never had this problem before although the side effects using yohibe bark powder were very intense but the weired thing i fell asleep!!!! anyone had similar effects.

Yohimbe or yohimbine is dangerous to take. Yohimbe has been linked to reports of severe side effects including irregular or rapid heart beat, kidney failure, seizure, heart attack, and others. When taken by mouth in typical doses, yohimbe and the ingredient yohimbine can cause stomach upset, excitation, tremor, sleep problems, anxiety or agitation, high blood pressure, a racing heartbeat, dizziness, stomach problems, drooling, sinus pain, irritability, headache, frequent urination, bloating, rash, nausea, and vomiting. Taking high doses can also cause other severe problems, including difficulty breathing, paralysis, very low blood pressure, heart problems, and death. After taking a one-day dose of yohimbine, one person reported an allergic reaction involving fever; chills; listlessness; itchy, scaly skin; progressive kidney failure; and symptoms that looked like the auto-immune disease called lupus.
Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy or breast-feeding: Yohimbe is LIKELY UNSAFE. Yohimbe might affect the uterus and endanger the pregnancy. It might also poison the unborn child. Don’t take yohimbe if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
Schizophrenia: Use yohimbe with caution. The yohimbine in yohimbe might make people with schizophrenia psychotic.
Prostate problems: Use yohimbe with caution. Yohimbe might make the symptoms of BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) worse.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): Don’t use yohimbe. There is a report that four individuals with PTSD suffered worse symptoms after using yohimbe.
Liver disease: Don’t use yohimbe. Liver disease might change the way the body processes yohimbe.
Kidney disease: Don’t use yohimbe. There is a concern that yohimbine might slow or stop the flow of urine.
High blood pressure or low blood pressure: Don’t use yohimbe. Small amounts of yohimbine can increase blood pressure. Large amounts can cause dangerously low pressure.
Chest pain or heart disease: Don’t use yohimbe. Yohimbine can seriously harm the heart.
Anxiety: Don’t use yohimbe. Yohimbine might make anxiety worse.
Depression: Don’t use yohimbe. Yohimbine might bring out manic-like symptoms in people with bipolar depression or suicidal tendencies in individuals with depression.
Diabetes: Don’t use yohimbe. Yohimbe might interfere with insulin and other medications used for diabetes and cause low blood sugar.
I would just drop the yohimbine and stick with Viagra.

Kaismama is right, all these drugs do is allow blood to flow into the penis and keep it from flowing back out thus giving you an erection. There is nothing else they do to increase sexual pleasure, feelings or intensity. They wont make you last longer or finish too soon. They only increase blood flow and that is it.

I was just wondering if any had similar experience. thanx a lot though for all the info. provided.

I would eliminate the yohimbine. My guess is you will not notice any less of a response.

Maybe you should follow the drs directions. All these things do is dilate your blood vessels. It shouldn't change anything else.
