Is clonazopam 0.5 safe first trimister?
Hi,
I am pregnant for 7 weeks and before i was on antidepressants since 3 years(thought over the time my psychiatrist reduced my dose a lot and i was taking low doses in my 3 year of depression treatment) but after my pregnancy confirmation the doctor has abrupty stopped my all antidepressants. I was taking lonazep for my sleep but now after stopping it i am facing some anger issue since last 1 week and sleep issue.
my query is can i take lonazep 0.5 if i am having sleepless nights in my first trimister
is it safe to take lonazep 0.5 in 7 weeks pregnancy?
Until your symptoms are absolutely unmanageable then you can take but avoid taking as much as possible in the first trimester. Try deep breathing exercises and relaxation techniques before taking medicines.
You can consult a Psychiatrist/Clinical Psychologist in person for guidance.

Hi,
No medications is 100% safe when it comes to first trimester. The decision to take it should be based on overall risk-benefit ratio.
Occasionally using 0.5 mg shouldn't be too much of a challenge. However the best way ahead would be a detailed clinical interview to understand the symptoms and get comprehensive medical history.
