Have any of you experienced better sexual performance (male) when you reduced the potentcy of a benzo, like klonazepam to lorazepam and happen to stay on the same mg/pill ?


Thanks!

So you're getting less benzo; maybe a lot less-so that could be the difference. Some people swear by Ativan, but I find I don't even know I've taken it in terms of reduction of anxiety-pretty much the same with klonopin, unless I take more than 1 mg, and then I get depressed and sleepy. Xanax works very well for me, but it has a short half-life in the body and an undeserved rep for being very hard to withdraw from.
