Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 3,552 | I looked in my PDR and there wasn't any specific mention of sexual disfunction with either of those drugs. It does have a contraindication for for possible drug interaction when taking Roxicet (AKA Percocet) and Zanax or Valium and I believe that Ativan is in the same family. You may find out more information doing an internet search with Google or talk to your pharmacist. Pharmacists should have the most up to date information.
I can't speak for the ladies out there, but I think that a certain amount of sexual disfunction comes with the territory even if its just for psychological reasons. I had no libido for a long time during and after treatment and I am happy to report that everything is back to normal. I am also not taking any meds.
It too shall pass.
