Can you tell me about taking alprazolam (xanax) or trazodone while pregnant?

Pregnancy risks: Benzodiadepines including xanax (alprazolam) are rated category d in pregnancy. This means that there is positive evidence of human fetal risk, but in life-threatening or serious illnesses the risk may be acceptable if there are no safer drugs available. Trazodone is category c, meaning risk cannot be ruled out but no human studies prove safety. You, your ob, and psychiatrist need to confer ; weigh risks.
