To add to what Peforeal said, I found my Yohimbine dose by going about it quite recklessly. Overdoing it made me feel very nauseous and cranky, and I just wanted to lie down and let it pass. It only lasted for a few hours. If I take a low enough dose then I get some very positive effects (*extreme* hardness to erection, giving fantastic orgasm and ability to shoot 6-8ft) without any apparent side effects. Fortunately you can buy them in very small doses so that you can find your level. I don’t use it much as I don’t plan things that finely, but if you’re in otherwise good health then it may be worth a look in. Lots of fat loss stacks use it (being an alpha-2 agonist), so perhaps you could factor it into your diet that way if you so desire. If you just want to try it to determine whether blood pressure is the effect you’re having though, then I’d just try a single yohimbine pill (mine are 3mg which is mild enough not to get any sides).
The alternative is to quit your new medication for a while to see if the effects diminish, but I’m guessing you like the effects that it is producing. Also, it may take a lot longer to find the answer that way, whereas upping BP slightly will show itself pretty quickly.
Just another outside thought - perhaps as a third alternative you could look at things that help oxygenation such as Rhodiola Rosa, which will bring an alertness about without any edginess. That way you’re not messing with blood pressure (in case that that concerns you).
