Re: Yohimbine / Yohimbe

[Guest guest]

HI Muriel:

Yohimbine is an extract of Yohimbe. You need a prescription for it. It has

gotten lost the last few years in all the big time expensive sex pills that are

pushed so hard.

I find a lot less side effects from the Yohimbine than the Viagra, Levitra

or Ceallis, (Sp).

The side effects weren't worth what little benefit I got from them.

Yohimbine gave me somewhat of a headache the first three weeks I used it, but

that went away.

I was taking one a day for years. (I started taking them in 1996). Now I

just take ONE about 45 minutes before orgasim. NOT 45 minutes before sex. The

pill doesn't help too much in getting an erection, but it does help a lot in the

feeling I can get at orgasm, and helps mainly in THAT department. Without it I

can rarely climax.

They are cheap. I get mine a KMart pharmacy. I encapsulated my own Yohimbe

and tried them, but I felt really weird from them. Kind of like when I was

taking Artemisia annua. Not a good feeling. I don't get too much of that with

Yohimbine. But remember everyone is different.

I don't know IF women use them or not. Usually it is the many that has the

trouble as we age.

I did notice though, when my soon to be ex, quit her estrogen pills back a

few years ago, her libido went way down too.

By all means KEEP him interested in you.

Jim.

Hi Jim, thanks for your frank and helpful post. I lost All my libido

when I developed chronic Lyme. I used to be an " Everyday " girl!!! I'll

look into a Yohimbine. Thanks for the advice too. I am certain to keep

my husband Completely Happy (if you know what I mean...a man's generally

very favorite service!!!). And I Never once said " no " to sex when we

were young, and he was a 4x/day guy! Eeks! He's happy, for all I can

tell. He, luckily, is a very one-woman guy. He looks, of course, but

that is it.

We've been married 32 years and sex has never one of our problems, but I

miss it very much. Can you imagine never having an orgasm? (Please

excuse anyone else if they feel offended), I am just trying to be as

open and frank with you as you kindly were with me. All the Very Best

Jim and Muriel, thanks for the frankness. I think lack of libido is a

very very common lyme symptom.

I wonder if eleuthero also helps. I took it for a while, I had the

impression it helped for energy in general. When I was almost getting

out of lyme before re-infection, I had the impression my sexual life

was getting back where it was before lyme.

Not the case now...

Hi Mauriel, or is it ? Which do you prefer? I one a nickname, or?

Yes, that Lyme is a killer of many things. Many on LymeNet have expressed the

fact that they lost all desire for sex too. Too bad. Some are quite young

even.

Maybe you could google Yohimbine and see what there is on it. Many doctors

don't even know about it. I was the first one that MY duck ever prescribed it

for. And I found out about it when I was out in Queens, NY.

Yes, 4 times a day IS quite a bit when married, IF everyday. When I was real

young, and with the one who became my first wife, it was 6 times a night, but

only two nights a week, on the weekend.

When we got married, I was 19 and she was 18, I workd a lot of overtime and

was building a streetrod too, so it was only two times a day, 6 or 7 days a

week.

But as the years wore on that went down gradually, till we were at about 5 or

6 times a week after 23 years of marriage.

After I had my colon taken out in 1994, I had a difficult time doing it at

all, but still did it about 3 to 4 times a week. And of course now I am getting

older and older, so was down to 2 or 3 times a week before my wife left in May.

But I needed the Yohimbine and a appliance I developed back in 96, in order to

do even that. And it takes some of the spontinaity out of it. Unfortunately.

It is becoming more and more of a chore these days. BUT NO I cannot fathom

NEVER having an orgasm. I have about to turn 70, and it has been almost 15

years since he was able to do anything at all. AND he doesn't even have LYME.

At least I don't think he does.

Are you saying YOU never have had an orgasm? Or that you don't at all NOW?

OR?

I think there are some pills made for women these days, but I have NO

experience with them so you are on your own there. Let us know IF you find

something that helps, as I know there are many with Lyme that would want help in

that department.

Take care,

Jim

*****

I had the same experience a few years ago when I tried the Yohimbe -

really wired, weird and hard to explain - I did not like the feeling at

all. It was almost like a caffeine overdose. It most definately was not

worth it for me but were all different too.

Since being on the Salt/C and Buhner protocol I've not had any problems

with libido whatsoever.

Hi Jim, thanks so much for taking the time to write to me. I'm going to

answer your questions in between your paragraphs to make it easier to

read. Look for the ***, and I'll also write in blue. Tell me if you do

not like this format, please! (Look Below!)

RE: [ ] Yohimbine / Yohimbe

Hi Mauriel, or is it ? Which do you prefer? I one a nickname,

or?

***It is spelled Muriel, and it is my mother's name. She lived with us

for the last 5 years of her life. She died suddenly of a heart attack in

1986 and I still miss her, so I frequently use her name in email group

correspondence, or other instances where your name doesn't really

matter. My birth name is .

Yes, that Lyme is a killer of many things. Many on LymeNet have

expressed the fact that they lost all desire for sex too. Too bad. Some

are quite young even.

***I'm very sorry about that!

Maybe you could google Yohimbine and see what there is on it. Many

doctors don't even know about it. I was the first one that MY duck ever

prescribed it for. And I found out about it when I was out in Queens,

NY.

***I'll see what I can find today and Many Thanks!

Yes, 4 times a day IS quite a bit when married, IF everyday. When I was

real young, and with the one who became my first wife, it was 6 times a

night, but only two nights a week, on the weekend.

***I guess he had lots of testosterone. He's brilliant in physics, chess

and music. He's an oboe player. We both went to the Curtis Institute of

Music. He's actually my 2nd husband, although now, thankfully, I'm good

friends with the 1st, and great friends with His Mother. My 2nd husband

was/is much more attracted to me than the first! That is part of why #1

divorced me. He just wanted something different.

When we got married, I was 19 and she was 18, I workd a lot of overtime

and was building a streetrod too, so it was only two times a day, 6 or 7

days a week.

***I'd say that you did quite well, and bounced back very strongly on

the weekends!

But as the years wore on that went down gradually, till we were at about

5 or 6 times a week after 23 years of marriage.

***That is still admirable, hormone-wise.

After I had my colon taken out in 1994, I had a difficult time doing it

at all, but still did it about 3 to 4 times a week. And of course now I

am getting older and older, so was down to 2 or 3 times a week before my

wife left in May. But I needed the Yohimbine and a appliance I developed

back in 96, in order to do even that. And it takes some of the

spontinaity out of it. Unfortunately.

***I'm so sorry your wife left. I hope this was not a terribly difficult

time for you.

It is becoming more and more of a chore these days. BUT NO I cannot

fathom NEVER having an orgasm. I have about to turn 70, and it has been

almost 15 years since he was able to do anything at all. AND he doesn't

even have LYME. At least I don't think he does.

Are you saying YOU never have had an orgasm? Or that you don't at all

NOW? OR?

***No...I had a very good sex life. As a woman, I could climax several

times a night (with my 2nd husband, who was quite a bit more patient

than the 1st!). Even after 50, I was still fine. I believe that your

ability to concentrate and release energy through orgasm has to do with

the strength of your Chi, or Ki - your body's ability to channel

Universal Energy. When I became chronically ill from Lyme and it's

Friends, mine plummeted. As for now: nothing.

I think there are some pills made for women these days, but I have NO

experience with them so you are on your own there. Let us know IF you

find something that helps, as I know there are many with Lyme that would

want help in that department.

***Well Jim, you'll be the first to know if I make a comeback (double

entendre there). This is the first conversation I've ever had with

Anyone (male or female) about intimate things, so thank you, and I'm

including send everyone else in the group and sending my Best Thoughts

and Healing Wishes to all, Muriel/

Take care,

Jim

HI Pat:

So sorry that you can't make it these days. I hope that IF you go the

Yohimbine route it does some good for you. You will have to have an

understanding doctor to prescribe it for you. Or else maybe TRY some Yohimbe

capsules as you don't need a prescription for them. Otherwise the Maca that

some were talking about might do the job, too, I don't know.

By all means keep us posted IF it helps. I am sure many on LymeNet would

want to know IF it does also.

Yes, it has been a difficult time the past few months. I am not cut out to

be single. I survive, but don't like it at all. I even put up with a lot, just

to stay married. She treated me like dirt quite a bit of the time the past two

or three years. Said she never loved me, that it was just lust. And of course

we know lust does not last. Love has to take over. But she wasn't really in it

for the long haul. She like being with all her girlfriends much better. I hope

she takes a cue on that and sticks with them and leaves the guys alone.

Take care, and don't forget to let us know your progress.

Jim
