Clonazepam: Benzodiazepines
built 657 days ago
Clonazepam is a Schedule IV controlled substance, similar to other benzodiazepine medications, such as Librium®, Ativan®, Valium®, and Xanax®. There is a risk of physical and psychological dependence when it is taken for long periods of time. Sudden discontinuation of clonazepam may result in withdrawal symptoms such as insomnia, irritability, vomiting, sweating, restlessness, abdominal and muscle cramps, tremors, behavioral disturbances, and seizures.

PREGNANCY: Clonazepam and other benzodiazepines have been associated with fetal damage, including congenital malformations, when taken by pregnant women in their first trimester. Clonazepam is best avoided in the first trimester and probably throughout pregnancy.
