Xanax is a very popular medicine that has helped millions of people feel less anxious and more relaxed; however, there are a few possible side effects.
People have reported a loss in sex drive. One study reported 14.5 percent of patients did not desire sex very often, while another study reported that nearly 8 percent of patients on Xanax had an increase in sexual desire. Some men complained that they were not able to sustain an erection while taking Xanax. This could be very possible because Xanax does slow down the blood flow, thus not getting enough blood to the penis for an erection. Women have also reported that they could not have an orgasm while taking Xanax, possibly because of the sedative effects.
Patients have reported that after being off their Xanax for about a month their sex life returned to normal. The men could now sustain an erection and the women could have an orgasm. It is important to remember that only a small percentage of people even suffered any sexual problems.
Another thing to know about before you buy Xanax is the possibility of addiction. Check with your health care provider often while on Xanax and also, do not stop Xanax suddenly, you should be weaned off gradually.
