Clonazepam & Pregnancy: Risks and Concerns - Expert Advice

Question
I've been taking this medication and I have been told that this medication could cause birth defects to my unborn child.  

Answer
Hello Shannon- my information says that birth defects were NOT shown to happen in the lab experiments BUT there was in increase in the number of stillbirths,a decrease in  infant survival after birth and delayed development. I hope that helps and I urge you to discuss your concerns with your prescribing physician. All the best- Cheri.
