Q&A: Is it possilbe one dose of Klonopin gave my baby a cleft palate?

by Dr. Gerard M. DiLeo

I am 6-7 weeks pregnant. I took 0.125 mg klonopin a few days ago before I knew I was pregnant. It is my understanding that week 6/7 of gestation is when the cleft lip/cleft palate may occur. What is the likelihood that my baby will develop cleft lip or palate? I know that I only took a small dose just once, but I am freaking out.

The chances aren't "none," but they're "slim to none."
