A member asked:

I'm 24wks pregnant i took a 2mg xanax (alprazolam) i'm prescribed klonopin when they test the meconium can they tell the difference between klonopin and xanax (alprazolam)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Benzodiazepines. : Why r u taking any benzodiazepines while pregnant? These need to be prescribed by your doctor/np. 2 mg of xanax (alprazolam) is about equal to 20mg of valium. Benzo is a benzo. Just asking u to do this with your medical professional and not 'just take.'.
