Link as I read your assessment of catecholamine potentiation and then prevention of degredation... it makes sense I have been getting more anxious. Thanks for alerting me to a possible interaction. I understand yohimbine has a narrow window of therapeutic benefit. Causing anxiety above the top end, today I only took about 4.5mg of it.. Tks for the feedback
