Hmmm, it's listed as pregnancy category "C", which means that animal studies show adverse fetal effects, but no controlled studies have been done in humans. It's important, then, to weigh the risks and benefits to the mother about continuing the meds.

Of course if it were me, I would start tapering as soon as I found out I was pregnant. The only meds I would worry about not taking at all if of child bearing age and not preventing pregnancy are those that fall into Pregnancy categories D and beyond. Category X is right out.
