For the estimated 19 million Americans with anxiety disorders, however, this sensation occurs frequently, often without warning and can interfere with normal activities.

Treatment for anxiety disorders usually is designed to erode that response, either through medications or gentle, gradual exposure to the object or situation causing fear.

Barad, an assistant professor of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences, says that people can learn more quickly to overcome these disorders by intense, frequent exposure to a fear during behavioral therapy.

Yohimbine is a natural herbal medication derived from a tree bark.

Oral administration of arginine glutamate (6 g) plus yohimbine hydrochloride (6 mg), but not yohimbine alone (6 mg), has previously been shown to be effective in improving penile blood flow and erectile ability in males with erectile dysfunction (Padma Nathan, 2000 and Lebret et al., 2000).

Results showed that the combined oral administration of arginine glutamate and yohimbine induced a rapid and significant increase in vaginal pulse amplitude response to the erotic film at 60 minutes post drug administration compared with placebo.

Pulse amplitude responses at 30 and 90 minutes post drug administration were increased compared to placebo, but did not reach significance.
