Is it safe to take xanax (alprazolam) while pregnant?

Xanax (alprazolam) and pregnancy: The best answer is if you can be on as little or no medication as possible during pregnancy. Xanax (alprazolam) is a class d drug for pregnancy, which means studies have shown harmful affects to fetus. However, maternal benefit may outweigh risk to fetus. It is important to speak with your psychiatrist and ob/gyn.

No: Xanax (alprazolam) belongs to the fda pregnancy category c, which means there has been positive evidence of human fetal risk. In certain situations, especially if life-treatening, it might be necessary to put maternal benefit and safety first.

No: Xanax (alprazolam) falls under fda pregnancy category d. You should avoid use of xanax (alprazolam) if you are pregnant. It could harm the unborn baby. Xanax (alprazolam) may also cause addiction or withdrawal symptoms in a newborn if the mother takes the medication during pregnancy.

Xanax (alprazolam) in pregnancy: I would not recommend Benzodiazepines especially in the first trimester.
