Yohimbine readily penetrates the CNS and produces a complex pattern of responses in lower doses than required to produce peripheral (alpha)-adrenergic blockage. These include anti-diuresis, a general picture of central excitation including elevated blood pressure and heart rate, increased motor activity, irritability and tremor. Sweating, nausea and vomiting are common after parenteral administration of the drug. ^1,2 Also dizziness, headache, and skin flushing have been reported. ^1,3
