Benzos Do Benzos Lower Testosterone Levels in Males?

[556m4]

I searched and can't really find an answer. Does chronic benzo use lower testosterone levels in males?

 

[tricomb]

I don't have a source but my old psychiatrist said they do, just like opiates.

I think they do lower testosterone, but not as much as opiates in general.

 

[laCster]

nope, but opiates do

I doubt they do.

However I have never used benzodiazepine chronically, just in acute situations where I had panic or anxiety, or wanted to get high. I rarely use benzodiazepines now as I'm enjoying a lot of acid trips. However I doubt it has any negative effect on testosterone level when used very infrequently.
