> Gilbert,
> Was it you who said in an earlier thread that Klonopin gave you some libido problems? If so then I take it that Xanax does not?.....Yeah it was me....that was so unexpected it kind of came on slow and progressively got worse with each dose. Xanax does not causes any problems...at most once in a great while it will take me longer to er.....you know finish but I think some of that is mental....and that is only once in a while. This is strange too but body builders use xanax because it has been known to reduce exercise induced cortisol levels and increase dhea which would indicate a prosexual effect. I have noticed that I do seem more like tungsten instead of pine so to speak...not bragging just seems to be what happens for me. I also notice xanax appears to give me more nocturnal and morning wood for lack of a better word. The klonopin was a much smoother ride and there are studies in that post you speak of where vets were put on 4 different benzos and only klonopin caused sexual dysfunction. I don't know why but that paticular study is on pub med under the klonopin published listings. The same group of vets had no sexual dysfunction on xanax or valium but did on klonopin. I would prefer the klonopin for its wonderfull blanket coverage against panic but will not tolerate the limpness. I also think women do not experience this phenomenom on klonopin....I had sensation just not good blood flow....There now you know me as well as my wife...LOL
