I quit klonopin about 40 days ago and detoxed hard, it was bad. I'm still on 20 mg of celexa and am having trouble with erection, I was fine before and on more meds. Only thing that changed was HUGE stress like coming off benzos couldnt pay rent facing homelessness and then a new big job in a new city. Also I was working a job where was lifitng a lot maybe a hernia. Any ideas at all? Scared....

Hi ian35.
Coming off Klonopin is a HUGE deal! I went through it too .. ended up hospitalized as wasn't titrated..
Hey ... afa sexual side effects from AD ... you might want to remind yourself it's not all a man's responsibility to produce a satisfactory outcome in a sexual relationship.
I'm not invalidating your concern though. It's a widely shared one here.
You should find some help on the medication board.
You said you were fine before and on more meds, so I'm assuming you got a new pdoc (psychiatric doctor) and meds changed w/ your move to new city for new job.
Maybe you are still adjusting to all the changes.
I am going to be moving soon and will be changing doctors. I will need to be careful the pdoc doesn't want to make changes right away as 'moving alone' is a giant stressor. I feel like thanking you for reminding me!
Every1 thinks you should be happy and excited regarding a move, when in reality it is really hard.
There is a health board here too where you might ask about the hernia and if it could be causing you difficulties; I mean besides the obvious difficulty of having one. Must be very painful.
You are welcome to go to any of the boards and seek help w/ all issues. We're just not supposed to do a copy and paste type thing; you know, use the identical subject and message. You can definitely address them, just need change wording a little from board to board. Hang in there. You will find a lot of support here at this site, a lot of good people. I send you wishes for some relief.
I wish I had more answers for you myself, but, at this time in my life, I'm not on an AD. I may have to soon though, as even though anxiety is under control, I need 2 'get a life' and prepare for a move myself.
Check out the boards I've mentioned or any you feel might be helpful. Go 2 FAQ for answers to questions about how the site operates. Try not to worry. This site is very private.
hang on, 5f

Hey ... It's 5f again.
I guess I thought you were on another board, but I believe you/we are on 'medication' already.
o_o
Withdrawal might be another good one. Don't be afraid to go to Social either. Sometimes it helps just to talk.
Sorry about that.
best wishes, 5f

Thank you, for being so nice! I think it's lack of libido combinmed with fear of a problem but it's ok
