I am taking 0.5mg klonopin for epilepsy. I have been trying to conceive and may be pregnant(still a bit early to know for sure). Is klonopin safe to take during pregnancy?

I also take klonopin, but for panic disorder, and it is working very well. However, please ask your doctor about any risks regarding pregnancy.

Klonopin is a benzo. I would think not.

You need to ask your doctor this question. Too serious to ask on the Y!A.

No, it is a narcotic. You should discuss it with your doctor.
