I would say the worst part about benzodiazepine medications, like Klonopin, Xanax, and Ativan...is that they totally kill your sex drive. Well, let me re-phrase that. They lower your inhibition, so they can make you want to have sex. You can even get an erection on Klonopin or Xanax (sorry if that is too much information). But, try and try as you might, if you've taken just a bit too much of one of these drugs, you won't be able to have an orgasm.
It's weird. You can get so close, but you won't ever be able to actually climax. I actually found the same experience years ago in college when I was on Zoloft, which I stopped taking for other reasons. It just amazes me how profoundly psychiatric drugs can affect sexual functioning.
