Klonopin during pregnancy
Show your support
I was on it my first pregnancy, had to stop third trimester, now the second time around my doctors told me to stop it right away. If you are experiencing withdrawl your baby will too, especially after birth if you continue to use it through your whole pregnancy.
My doctor told me it would be okay to take it every 2 weeks but with the lower dose I am not making it that long I have an appt today I’m just so stressed and upset about this and don’t know how to come off of it completely since it’s extremely dangerous and especially when it’s not something I take everyday
Do you have a positive support system? Finding different ways to cope may help, I started surrounding myself with more positive forward people and when I do get overwhelmed and anxious they don't make me feel bad for taking a "time out". I like time outs for myself to be with myself. My husband is my first person in my life to be my safe space and it always helps having him around. Being open about your mental health with the people around you helps a lot.
I have a great support system I think it’s mostly the withdrawal I don’t have anxiety until I start feeling sick and idk how to keep pushing without taking it
If it's just withdrawl it would be in your best interest to stop using it, if you are having withdrawl your baby is also feeling all that stress and it will just get worse the longer you keep using it.
Did the doctor say you could take it. I’m not sure what medication this is or what it’s for. But if the doctor said it’s fine then I would continue especially since you said you feel withdrawal symptoms
