Is Klonopin the only benzo that doesn't cause problems with libido and ED? I've been on klonopin, xanax, and now valium, and both xanax and valium killed my sex drive but klonopin did not. Klonopin did make me more grouchy and irritable though and was less effective for anxiety. Xanax and valium also made it hard to get an erection while klonopin did not. Haven't tried ativan or any others.

Hi! I'm starting Lorazepam 1mg twice daily if needed. As part of the side effects, it lists "changes in sex drive/ability". I was just wondering what exactly "changes" mean? Anyone have any experiences with an increase or decrease in sex drive? I was previously on Pristiq- completely got rid of my sex drive. Now I'm on Wellbutrin, and my sex drive is finally back, which I was excited about. I'm worried it will go away again. I'm also on Zoloft which can decrease sex drive as well... uhg!

I just recently started lamictal for my bipolar disorder and take it in combination with Prozac and Xanax. I have been loving the new me and the ability to control my anxiety, depression and mood swings, but I'm experiencing a crazy side effect. My sex drive is through the roof!!! I'm a 27 year old female and have always loved sex and had a high sex drive, but since starting the lamictal I find myself turned on all the time. I'm only up to 75 mg and my doctor says that dose will continue to increase until I get up to 200mg. I can go for hours and sometimes stay up at night feeling like I could orgasm with just 1 touch from a man. When my boyfriend and I have sex, I have multiple orgasms and they are incredibly intense. I've always been able to squirt if the sex was intense and I was really turned on, but now I'm so wet and I squirt every time I have an orgasm. My body shakes uncontrollably and the next day I'm sore like I'm training for the Olympics. Every time I relax I have an intense hunger for sex and to be touched. I can fantasize for hours and my entire body tingles without being touched. Is this normal? Will my sex drive continue to increase as my medication dosage increases? Do any other women experience this? I don't mind at all, lol, but sometimes I can't stop thinking about sex to save my life. Any ideas or input?

I am currently on 30 mg of Celexa for my depression & anxiety which seems to be an effective dose for me. My doctor added Wellbutrin XL 300 mg to help counteract the sexual side effects I was complaining of. The wellbutrin doesn't help!! I've noticed an increase in my energy and overall I'm feeling pretty good, but I have absolutely no sexual desire anymore and less physical sensations and reactions from sex when I do have it. HELP ME - I'm frustrated and my husband is frustrated. We had a great sex life pre-meds and I don't want to go off medication because I do need it, but I want to be able to have sex with my husband again. What have you done to deal with the effects? Any suggestions?
