I was wondering if anyone has taken Lorazapam or any of that same family during pregnancy? I want to get pregnant, but I am so afraid to because I take 0.5mg of Lorazapam nightly due to night panic attacks.

I have talked to my doctor and he said that I should really try to come off of them for at least the first trimester. Im afraid to get pregnant and then start getting my panic again and be forced to take some meds.

Has anyone out there gone all 9 months on these med's????

Thanks so much for any replies

Hi Cassia,


I apologize that I don't have any advice for you. I am newly diagnosed and are not planning on becoming pregnant again.


I just wanted to lend my support to you. Let you know that we are here if you need anything.


You may want to try the antidepressant medication
