A different take (not MAOI):
http://www.yohimbe.org/chairmanmao.htmThey note that prescription sexual dysfunction mediciations with yohimbine do NOT come with the heavy array of warnings that MAOIs do.
OK, suppose its another compound in the bark...
Tyramine is pervasive enough in the diet (as those of you who take MAOIs are certainly aware of) that one would expect incidences of hypertensive crisis from people using yohimbe below toxic dose who then consumed tyramine. Have any been documented? If so, why then would the extract still be available OTC?
For yohimbe "The Physicians' Desk Reference for Herbal Medicines" (1998 ed., p. 1018-9) gives no warnings in regards to dietary tyramine and medications like DXM that are contraindicated with MAOIs.
