I lost to sons to SIDS while taking this medication. I have other children that are fine but i was on no medication at that time. I was also taking prozac while pregnant when i lost my sons.

You should be asking your pharmacist or a chemist about that. You should also ask your doctor. They are the ones who can give you the best information.

You need to contact your physician about this instead of taking the advice of complete strangers. Best of luck!

clonazepam is in a class of drugs called benzodiazepines. benzodiazepines are not generally safe to take while pregnant. clonazepam is in the FDA category D, which means that there is evidence that it causes harm to an unborn baby. you should never stop taking any drug that a doctor prescribed before talking to the doctor, but i would discuss with your doctor about taking any type of drug while pregnant, especially a benzodiazepine. you could be treading dangerous territory messing with a benzodiazepine while pregnant. i'm not trying to scare you, i'm just telling you the facts. and there also may be other options that are safer to treat your condition. good luck.
