Serious — worth a conversationCan you take Yohimbine with maois?
Yohimbine with an MAOI can spike blood pressure
What happens
Yohimbine blocks alpha-2 receptors, which raises noradrenaline. An MAOI stops that noradrenaline being cleared, and the pair has produced hypertensive crises.
Drugs in this class include Phenelzine, Tranylcypromine, Selegiline.
What to do about it
This is one of the combinations most worth raising with your prescriber before taking both.

and a pharmacist can see those in a way this page cannot.
