clonazepam and pregnancy
by k56, Apr 22, 2008 05:27AM
Hello,
Please help me.
I have taking clonazepam 0.25 mgs daily.
for the past 9 years. My question is, there is the possibility I may be pregnant. I am concerned this medicine may have damaged the fetus, if there is a pregnancy. I am also afraid to just stop this med without tapering for fear of withdrawl.I have so many times try to take it off but i couldnot, i have too much stress for too many years a go, and just clonazepam had help me to continue my life.and now i want too much to have a child.but i am afriad of risks.in addition i am 31 years old Can you give me any advice.? I'm sure there are many women who take an anticonvulsant for epilepsy, which I know clonazepam used for so, what do these women do? Continue their medications or stop them? I DO NOT have epilepsy, but have taken this medication for panic/anxiety (STRESS) disorder.
THANKYOU,

My advice? Go to to the doctor and determine whether you are pregnant or not - and go from there. If you arent pregnant but want to start a family, discuss alternative medications to the clonazepam.
