New Research for Sleep Apnea from NIH

NOTE: Below is a link to the study funded by the National Institute of Health -- (NIH) a very credible source of information.
Maybe someone here knows something about Yohimbine, an herb. I just checked and it's sold over-the-counter, but please read the article first. I'd do almost anything not to struggle with a CPAP machine.

https://www.drugs.com/cdi/yohimbine.html
https://examine.com/supplements/yohimbine/
Yohimbine is a fat burning compound. Although effective, it may cause anxiety, it adversely interacts with many pharmaceuticals, and the labeled dose of supplements that contain it often does not match the actual dose.
Yohimbe, and its subset yohimbine, are fat-burning compounds, primarily used to lose fat during short term fasting.
Yohimbine is also an aphrodisiac and can aid erectile dysfunction. It is also a general stimulant.
Yohimbine works by increasing adrenaline levels in the body, as well as inhibiting a regulatory process in fat cells, which normally suppresses fat burning.
The effects of yohimbine are partially negated by food intake, which is why it is often taken in a fasted state.
Yohimbe is highly stimulatory
There is a high chance of yohimbine interacting with neurological medication
Many supplements containing yohimbine either do not list its dose, or its dose is inaccurate by up to 150%
Yohimbine can cause extreme anxiety in individuals predisposed to anxiety. Yohimbine may trigger manic psychosis or suicidal episodes in people with bipolar disorder
Yohimbine can interact with a large amount of neurological medications and should not be used in conjunction with these medication without consultation with a doctor
The actual dose of yohimbine in many supplements has been found to vary from the labeled dose from 25-150%

Jim, no. I don't know who you're referring to, but if I found another way (other than surgical or risky) I'd try it in a heartbeat.Goofproof wrote:Are you hooked into D.H.'s Internet feed? JimDeeCPAP wrote:.

Seems it may help diabetics but it can also raise blood pressure. The article
I read only showed a 5mm rise in blood pressure but for some of us that might
be a problem.

Re: New Research for Sleep Apnea from NIH
Since it's a stimulant, I wonder if stimulants that have already been through clinical trials would be a safer bet until this herb is ready.
Re: New Research for Sleep Apnea from NIH
I knew it!!
I hypothesized that ephedrine made sleep apnea better about 2 years ago....
I knew it from my own experience.
Everyone laughed at me, but I'm just ahead of the curve.
If you don't know yohimbine is often substituted with ephedrine for fat loss, they do very similar things.
They are both quite stimulation heavy like drinking 2-3 red bulls, but my hypothesis is proving correct.
I also lost an easy 30 pounds at that time, but I've gained it back since. I was sleeping HARDDDDD!!! Like childhood hard and on my back.
The other big one was that digestive health was greatly improved! Prefect bowel movements. I also had better bowel movements with NAC, which is also hypothesized to improve sleep apnea.
I'm almost 100% convinvced many cases of sleep apnea have to do with gut health, deficiencies and generally not getting sleep paralysis.

The research is trending to the gut relationship more everyday.

Nope, I know when it's a "good sleep" vs a "poor sleep" I've used a cpap with great compliance as well.
"Doped out" o please, these are hardly drugs, like I said, 400mg of caffeine is about the same stimulation level.

I hope "almost anything" doesn't include taking OTC yohimbe.... people should not begin taking the drug on their own, especially those who also suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure, or anxiety disorders.
“People who have these problems could be at risk if they use yohimbine,” says Poon, the senior author of the study. “Before clinical trials are done, it is not advisable for the general public to try this on their own.”

The researchers are now hoping to work with pharmaceutical companies to refine the drug and begin tests in patients. Determining effective and safe dosage levels will be a critical step, says Poon, who cautions against anyone trying the drug on their own.

Yohimbine is dangerous and you don't want to experiment with it... not if there are already lots of better ways to go.

given that a relatively mild overdose of tylenol can kill you, I'm not overly comforted by your dismissal.snufy wrote:lol... no more dangerous then alcohol or tylenol.Julie wrote:Yohimbine is dangerous and you don't want to experiment with it... not if there are already lots of better ways to go.
