I probably researched Yohimbine usage last night for 3 hours, and found a dizzying plethora of information that for the most part, is contradictive and majorly conflicting.

The dosage is understandable, and at around 220lb, I should be taking in 20mg. Now the conflicting question here, Ive seen multiple comments that it should be taken in one dose, during fasted cardio in the morning. Ive also noted people commenting that it should be divided into multiple doses.

Now, yohimbine is blunted by insulin release, and what ive read states that after taking yohimbine, for best results you shouldn't eat for 4 hours, which is why one dose in the morning is best as opposed to divded doses. Problem there, is I always thought going that long without food after cardio was majorly catabolic. We're looking at 3+hours after fasted cardio without any nourishment other than water.

Another 4 hour fasting problem. To fit in at least 5 meals a day, and work this in to my morning cardio, id have to get up around 5am, take Yohimbine/Caffeine, goto the gym around 6 and push out some HIIT for 30-45 min, then come home and BS till 9AM, where Id take an ECA stack and eat breakfast, but that pushes my last meal till 9PM, so to get any decent sleep, ill have to eat my last meal about an hour before bed.

I guess why this is especially such a problem for me is that my work schedule is insanely sporadic, working retail thats sometimes a 9-5 and sometimes a 1-9.

So any clarification would be greatly appreciated, as im afraid of blowng the $40 I just spent on the caps and not properly getting the maximum effectiveness.

Hope the yohimbine doesnt affect your heart like it did to me. Palpitations..... not cool.

I would definitely divide up the doses and start low. It only takes 2-6mg per dose for me. I'm not that fond of Y-HCL anymore... it feels really "dirty". I prefer ECA.

And, I would not wait 4 hours after waking up to eat. Shit, assuming you sleep 8 hours, that 12 fasted hours... 1/2 a day! I don't think the minor benefit in regards to the yohimbine effectiveness is worth the almost certain catabolism that will occur.

Take it in the morning before cardio, then spread the remaining doses out throughout the day, probably as far from food intake as possible (but I don't think this is THAT important).

Have you tried topical Y-HCL?

I agree..... yohimbine hcl makes me feel, well, nervous. I never get heart palps and it gives me palps. Palpitations are a sign of an arythmia, so it can affect the way your heart contract, as in it affects the nodes in the heart which tell the chambers when to contract.


Taking 20mg a day is insane IMO.


Like the posts said before, start low and work your way up. And eat food when you wake up so your body has cals to use for energy rather than going catabolic and having your body feed off itself.

I was taking close to that amount w/ Leviathan and was fine. It had other ingredients like PEA, etc. that may have sort of smoothed that out, though. I did like that stuff.

Yup ive taken over 20 stacked with ephedrine, geranamine and mucho caffeine.

Just jittery is all. Not a big deal.

Getting the divided doses incorporated into a meal schedule for me is nearly impossible though, and according to what ive read, any insulin spike pretty much neutralizes the effect of Y. Also, appearantly Yohimbine mobilizes fat so thats why catabolism isnt a problem, because its redirecting all energy towards your abdomen, especially when taken on fasted cardio. Still though, I admit it sounds off kilter.

I did try a a small dose, 6mg one day, and a single 20mg dose one morning. TBH, I felt insanely nervous on 6mg, but 20mg didnt feel nearly as off-putting. Weird...

Yohimbine is a strange bird. I would try various dosing schedules and see which one works best for you. I've never an Y-HCL for very long, as I seem very sensitive to it.
