> Yeah, Klonopin and other benzos can definitely have negative effects on libido. It tends to be general disinterest in sex; more a mental thing than the physical side effects that the antidepressants can cause. (You might have less interest in sex, but it shouldn't really decrease genital sensitivity or anything of that nature.)
If you were male, I would tell you to add one of the Viagra type drugs, but considering your name is Maria, I'm guessing you're female, so that probably wouldn't work.
As someone else already said, the dopamine effecting drugs would probably help. One of the amphetamines (Adderall) or methylphenidate (Ritalin)would help in the short term. However, they will probably increase anxiety. Wellbutrin would be very useful as well. That might also cause anxiety, but not as much as the stimulants,and it might go away after a week or two.
