Klonopin has always increased my libido, but that may be less common than the sexual dysfunction -- not that either one is real common at typical doses for anxiety. I do seem to recall that during the period I was on 3.0 mg of Klonopin that Mr. Willy would do his job but would sometimes refuse to stand at attention as long as before.
I definitely had the pop-out-of-bed feeling with Klonopin when I was taking it by itself, in combo with BuSpar, and in combo with selegiline. That was a very pleasant surprise for me, a 180 degree turn. Since I started taking Serzone and Provigil along with the Klonopin, that situation has completely reversed big-time. I actually have two LOUD alarm clocks by my bed, and have slept through BOTH a few times. Once I'm up for 15 minutes, though, I'm ready to go.

After your posting I am not keen at all to try Klonopin; I can do without *another* disappointment. I MUST escape sexual dysfunction soon or I am afraid it will make me so angry I will turn to the 'dark side' of the force and use my powers for evil rather than for good!
