I suffer a lot with daytime somnolence, I don´t use to fall asleep into the day (so it´s not a 'real' narcolepsy), but it really is a problem. I´ve gone to a pharmacy after knowing about stimuant effects of catuaba, but in my pills of 500mg of catuaba powder it came also 5mg of yohimbine. It was a surprise.

I´m a user of controlled medications for depression and anxiety, so I take daily 75mg of nortriptyline and 2mg alprazolam daily. I use to smoke marijuana (of the poorest quality) almost daily and have done cocaine and codeine and methylphenidate some times years ago.

I took four capsules of the catuaba-yohimbine combinations, and after 30 minutes I noted overstimulation, tachycardia and hand tremors. Also anxiety, but I´ve took 1,5 mg of alprazolam and got calmer. An hour later I smoked a joint and it hit much higher than normal, I was much stoned than normal.

Knowing that the yohimbine stimulation was not a good one (unlike cocaine, for example) but was good against daytime somnolence, I started to take one capsule after lunch daily. It works well for that, I feel more alert, more energized. I´m not a real fan of stimulant drugs, but this somnolence and fatigue I daily feel is a real problem for me.

I´m still going to talk to my doctor in a next appointment about it, I think that a modafinil, for example, is more efficient in narcolepsy or narcolepsy-like situations than these capsules.

By note, I did not have any sexual effects taking the yohimbine.
