Wise to ask: Zopax (xanax or alprazolam) is a benzodiazepine. It may cause miscarriage or birth defects in fetus early in pregnancy and may affect fetus later in pregnancy. Consult your OB/GYN. Seek counseling for anxiety management and coping which help development of skills to manage anxiety. Resource: https://womensmentalhealth.org/posts/anxiety-during-pregnancy-options-for-treatment/. Best regards.
