> > QUESTION: Do you have any problems with sexual dysfunction while taking Klonopin? I am considering trying this benzo or Nardil if there is not a problem with sexual dysfunction. I too have SP and GAD; currently taking Effexor 225mg, which definitely effects my libido. I do not know which is worse SP or NO Orgasm. Thanks.

> Benzo's like klonopin are not known for sexual side effects. If anything my libido has improved as I'm not nearly as stressed. One of the reasons I tried klonopin instead of Nardil is that Nardil has a strong profile of sexual side effects.

> Those two meds seem to bee the gold standard meds if your primary disorter is SP so if a benzo doesn't work, many go to Nardil even with the side effects and food restrictions. I hear in time some of the side effects with Nardil can lesson, but I've never tried it (but would have if klonopin didn't work).

> All I can say is that klonopin has worked great for me when nothing else I tried did. Before klonopin I was unemployed as I could not handle being around people. After 12 years of being on it I own a small business with 25 employed. I could have never done that without klonopin.

I don't know man, this wierd pink Purepac clonzy I am getting, it definetly has sexual side-effects, it completly eliminated my sexual desires, and I have like no appetite whatsoever. I was a sexual maniac, and now the very idea of coitus confounds me... has to have something to do with this poor excuse for clonzy I am getting. Weird stuff.
