Hey,
I experience libido and erection problems on Klonopin. It's apparently one of the worst offenders among the benzos:

After switching from Klonopin to Valium, the sexual dysfunction pretty much went away. I've since switched to Ativan (the Valium was too sedating/mentally bluntin) and haven't had problems with it either.
That's my story...

I once took half a pill and my blood pressure sank very rapidly when I was driving with my motorbike in the freezing winter time (it was -12 degrees). At home I had a crisis, seeing black, swooshing in the ears. I had to pull down my head to let flow blood back in to the skull. Above all, I am still alive!
