If I were even contemplating pregnancy, I would not start on Restoril or any benzo-type medication. It's hard to quit anyway, and often times a woman doesn't know she's pregnant until she's a couple of months along. That's when the majority of the damage can happen, when the baby's brain cells and body structures are forming.

But then that's just me, and I'm "fixed", postmenopausal and way too old to become pregnant.
