Maybe it's because their effect is similar to that of alcohol. They are, after all, in the "Sedative-Hypnotic" category. I don't know.Klonopin actually increased my libido, which is a documented but less common side effect than sexual dysfunction (not that the latter is all that common). But it definitely does not help me in the, um, sexual stamina department.
