original guy Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crtclms Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 If Klonopin makes you irritable, it really is not the right med for you, even though it doesn't seem to interfere with your libido. There's a side effect called "Klonopin Rage," and I had it. It was horrible and disabling, and it got worse the more I took (I took more because I didn't understand what was happening for a few days).Everyone reacts differently to different meds. Even though sexual side effects are on the Ativan PI sheet, that doesn't mean it will happen to you. It might be worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianOCD Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) From experience, all the meds have that side effect for me. With Ativan I felt more numb. Mood was better though. Edited June 30, 2017 by BrianOCD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Navel Cord Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 For me it's hard to tell. I'm on a cocktail and it could be any one of them that take it away from me. Switched from klon to valium and still.. no dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alone4ever Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I have been put on risperidone, and it sucks Ass, I've been on Serax (older than Valium) Valium, Klonopin, and now risperidone. Where I live they're trying to cut all the Benzos, and pain meds. What happened to life with dignity, they have Death with dignity, but expect ppl to live with Anxiety, Pain, Breathing issues being in a wheelchair or having Cancer. I'm on a very thin string, and feel like I'm going to shatter into a million pieces and I can't be put back together. My FNP is oblivious and getting in with a counselor is Nov. My FNP put me on risperidone, and I'm more anxious than I've ever been. I can't stop shaking, or find the will to give a shit. I'm nothing now.
