Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Klonopin may have issues with the sex drive , but you have not stated the dose that you have taken to comment on the cause-effect relationship in this scenario. Moreover klonopin alone cannot treat anxiety. its ok to treat it symptomatically but in the longer run and in more severe cases, medicines such as nexito or paroxetine would be required.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
