Hi
Has somebody personal experience (Valium, Xanax XR, lorazepam, ketazolam)?
I have taken clonazapam with good results to lessen my burden and Xanax XR with less good results (primarely sedation).
Clonazepam makes me asexual, xanax is problably *slightly* better.
regards

I had real sexual side effects on Xanax, some on Klonopin, none on Valium.

hello!
That sounds very interesting.
I thought Xanax is not often blamed with much sexual sideeffects.
Studies say: Klonopin worse, xanax, lorazepam, valium less
But almost every study is controversial.
I will personally try Prazepam a benzodiazepine with antidepressant action
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=1775523.
I will see what it does. According to a rat study it has less sexual sideffects than Valium. I like the Klonopin but the longer I take it, the more i am an asexual primate.
Every further answer is welcome!

Could it have anything to do with it being a seizure med? Fondly, Phillipa

Hi Phillipa!
Yes. Many of them have these side effects.
I will try prazepam. It is longer acting as Valium, has only one metabolite (which resembles to Valium) and has a shorter peak plasma level. One study says the antidepressive action of prazepam would be almost equal to clomipramine, but I cant really believe that.
Its clear that it will not be the ultimative cure. But who knows? -It can be better (especially in the libido matter)I wish you good sleep
