You did right checking before taking new meds. Aripiprazole treats psychosis; Yohimbine is for other issues. Together, they can interact badly, causing racing heart, high blood pressure, and anxiety. Talk to your psychiatrist before adding Yohimbine. It may not be safe with your meds. Best to avoid Yohimbine until your doctor clears it.
