is clonzepam safe for pregnancy?

Answer 1

If it was prescribed by your OB, otherwise no. Always check with your OB or a pediatrician. Never take anything till you get the OK.

Answer 2

Klonipin is a anxiety pill. While i was pregnant since i have a panic/nerve disorder the doctor still wrote me out valium which is in the same family as klonipin (Clonzepam). I only took it as needed like one every other day even though it was written out to me take one every 8 hours if needed. somedays i would go without or even like a week without. It is okay but not to take all the time or too much of it, My son was and is healthy.

Answer 3

Clonzepam is an anti-depressant. Anti-depressants are never a good idea when you are pregnant. Just remember the one key thing, what ever goes into your body, goes into the baby's body. Since the baby is virtually undeveloped, Clonzepam could create a blood pressure problem in your body as well as his/hers.

And always ask your OBGYN.

Answer 4

Are you taking it regularly? Did any doctor prescribe it? For what condition?
Benzodiazepines (such drugs as clonazepan) can cause phisical dependence both in mother and baby, and baby might develop withdrawal if mother took large doses for a long time.
However, if the condition you are treated for is so severe it might affect your mental health and thus your pregnancy, you might need to check with your doctor to adjust either the drug or the dose to your current status and needs.
Also, if you've been taking it regularly, don't stop cold turkey, it might make you feel very ill.

Answer 5

Check with both your OB and the prescribing doctors. You have to weigh any potential risks with any benefits. The answer will eb different in each case. I took some of my antidepressant ant antianxiety meds part way through my pregnancy both times.
