Let's make a clear division: Lack of libido, Impotence, and Anorgasmia (Takes a lot of time or impossible finish).
Impotence is not a very frequent side effect of neither Klonopin nor ADs.
Lowered libido does occur. I have no comparative knowledge about ADs, but Klonopin DOES lower libido, as do other benzodiazepines.
As for anorgasmia and other sexual side effects, SSRIs are the worst, Effexor and Serzone are OK most of the time, and Wellbutrin and Remeron cause no problems.
Remeron is used to relieve AD-induced sexual dysfunction and it does that very well in low doses (7.5-15mg/day). This is a tip from Israel's No.1 Psychopharmacologist (and one of the world leaders in the field), Prof. Avi Weizman.
