Klonopin and pregnancy..
Hey all. So I’ve been on 0.5mg of klonopin for a little over a year now. My RX was 0.5mg 2x daily as needed. I never took 2 a day and often never even took the full 0.5mg, but rather split them in half and the 0.25mg seemed to be just fine. Anyway, I’m 20 weeks pregnant and my OB along with my psychiatrist say it’s time to stop, as a benzodiazepine is no good for a growing baby (which I can agree with). I guess I just thought I would be tapered down. Instead, I’m just being cold turkey-ed and I’m anxious about this. Will the withdrawals be bad or manageable as I’ve been on such a low dose? This was never a medication I abused and was able to make a month long supply (60 pills) last me from march to just last night. Any input to ease my mind would help :,)
