Need advice

I am a 38 year woman. I have been taking Lorazapm for panic attack for 3 years. I suspect I am pregnant. I have been reading very scary things this drugs can do to a fetus. I am wondering if I stop taking the drug will I have a chance of having a healthy baby? With the drug being in my system for so long even if I stop taking the drug cold turkey will it still be a chance this drug could still hurt my baby? I have am still taking it and I could be 4 to 5 weeks pregnant.

Don't go the cold turkey route on your own.  You will need to wean with some help, maybe a substitute softer drug
