Sexual side-effects to benzos?

Posted by Dan Perkins on March 24, 2007, at 9:17:27

Hello,

Just started taking Ativan and am wondering if there are any sexual side effects to the drug. Is there any chance that it would actually benefit the sex drive by helping to deal with some anxiety that may be inhibiting it?

Thanks

If you take them every day they dampen your libido. I only know when I cut my dose down or skip a day libido goes up.Probably cause dopamine to go down which is a big factor in libido.
