yohimbe dosage and other factors.
If you happen to overdose on yohimbe, seek immediate medical attention.

Treatment for a Yohimbe Overdose
It is not known how best to treat a yohimbe overdose. If the overdose was recent, your healthcare provider may administer certain medicines or place a tube into the stomach to "pump the stomach." Treatment (if necessary) will also involve supportive care, which consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose. For instance, if an arrhythmia occurs, medications may be given to control the irregular heart rate.
It is important that you seek medical attention immediately if you believe that you may have overdosed on yohimbe.
