Jumping (unexpectedly) from 2 mgs of sub 6 wks pregnant HELP!!

  I am so mad at my partner right now I can barely see straight. Ive been on suboxone for several months and recently found out I was preggo. The doctor gave me his blessing to taper off. I've gone from 4-6 mgs a day down to 2 mgs. The plan was to taper right down to 1 mg or even less then jump.

My partner decided to help himself to two of my subs without me knowing! This means I do not have any meds for tomorrow or the next day. I don't see the doctor til Monday. I took the only 2 mg I had today and am very scared. I cannot believe he would do this to me. I am beyond angry right now. Worst part is I called the doctor hoping he'd be in so I could go in and get more sub and he's gone til Monday. I'm screwed.

I am terrified that jumping from 2 mgs will cause me to miscarry. I hate my partner right now for doing something so selfish. He said he took them because he thought I had more! WTF! He had no business touching them!!!! Im praying that the baby will be ok. I want off sub ASAP but was working with my doc to do it safely. He just screwed that right up. Please, any advice would be appreciated. I'm beside myself.

im so sorry to hear that! thats teribile. do you maybe have a nurse line in your community? maybe you can call the er and they will give you advice?if there would be any danger to your unborn child maybe they can give you enough to get through to monday?  or maybe call a treatment center or something like that to ask? i dont know much about subs but there are people on here that do. look around at the different posts and there will be someone soon that will come by with some good advice. lots of good/ smart people here!

Hi...I'm on my way to strangle him for you!! Does he have an addiction problem perhaps??

For some, 2mg is still too high to jump from. And some people get down to crumbs...I'm worried about the sudden absence of the drug though.  Your OB should have another doctor covering him for the weekend so call back.  I'd feel better if you spoke to another OB about this.

How are you feeling right now?  You should actually feel okay until Sunday. And yes, some here have dropped off at a 2mg dose and have done well.

Stay in touch Sweetie and don't worry.

Thanks for replying!! I feel ok, just anxiety and some rls.. Not bad. And yes, he's an addict..though I thought he was clean because he's claimed to be off pills awhile now. I don't believe anything he says. He hasn't come home and won't answer his phone. He knows I'm gonna choke him so he's avoiding me which is just pissing me off more.

I guess I'll take a wait and see approach. My docs on holidays and the doc covering for him never showed up today. This is my sub doc. I don't see an obgyn until two more weeks. And even if I called my obgyn only a certified doc can write a script for sub so I think the obgyn couldn't do anything? If it gets bad before Monday I'll go to the ER I guess. I cannot believe he'd do that to me. Whether he thought I was getting more or not, he had no business touching my sub!! To think he's selfish enough to put me and baby in harms way sickens me to no end. Thank you Vicki. I keep telling myself that wds off 2 mgs of sub cannot possibly be as bad as the wds I had from jumping from 160 mgs+ of oxy. I just hate that he's put me in this position.
