I have been taking Ativan for two years now for agoraphobia and social anxiety disorder. I am now 10 weeks pregnant and with my doctors supervision I'm taking 0.5mg to 2mg just on days when I feel overwhelmed by panic. Although my doctor says its ok for me to take it, I still try not to. What I'm worried about is, does the benefits of taking benzodiazepines outweigh the risks when compared to extremely high levels of stress and panic? I would think that stressing and panicking all day would be much worse for the baby, but I would like some feedback on this. thanks
