Hi, I have gone through your question. Zopiclone and lorazepam are not considered teratogenic ( they do not harm the fetus). Hence, it is very unlikely that these drugs are the cause of your miscarriages. There are many causes of first trimester abortion, most common being chromosomal defects. I would suggest you to get yourself investigated for the various causes of first trimester abortions, do practice contraception till all the reports come and take folic acid from 2 months prior to planning conception.
Hope this answers your question.
Wishing you good health.
