I fear i may be pregnant and am taking high dosages of MS contin and Oxycodone

[oxytakersoscared]

I have one child already, and the pregnancy was in a word, HELL. I was taking SUBUTEX at the time i found out i was pregnant, and they didnt taper me off or ANYTHING OF THE KIND!!! (I STILL cannot believe this thinking back to that hell forsaken day) a friend of mine that takes it as well ALSO didnt understand why. I went thru the most insane experience of my entire life-actually i dont think ANYONE can top what i went thru. i'm VERY VERY INCREDIBLY surprised the father if my cild didnt have me COMMITTED. I went INSANE(in a word), yes, INSANE. I was also detoxing from xanax at the same time. I has the most insane REAL dreams, i was talking to myself, but most importantly, i was in the most INTENSE, unBELIEVEABLE PAIN I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED....and it NEVER ENDED. At the 9th month, up to the DAY of DELIVERY, I was STILL IN PAIN(from w/drawl) Now, I fear I may again, be pregnant. I am SOO bloated, my insides just do not feel "right" i feel like a just ate(all the time almost) and i have incredible gas-pain i cannot deal w/. I just wanna get some kind of assurance this time, that when i go get that test, and if it IS infact positive, that my dr WILL INDEED TAPER ME OFF THE MEDS I AM CURRENTLY ON NOW. Because to tell u the truth, i dont believe in abortaion WHATSOEVER(and i was adopted) but the pain and insanity i went thru is ACTUALLY ENOUGH FOR ME TO ACTUALLY BE CONSIDERING IT tHIS TIME!!! (I cannot believe i am even saying that, THATS how much i am against it, but also shows u how CRAZY i went)I was in the worst hell and it was like groundhog frickin day EVERY DAY!! I'd wake up in incredible pain and discomfort EVERY SINGLE day from w/drawl. i am taking Oxycodone and MS Contin100mgs. Do you think there is any way they will taper me off if i find out i am pregnant?? I CANNOT and rreally DO NOT WANT TO deal with this again if i am pregnant. I just read a bunch of websites that say Oxycodone never showed any signs of harm to the fetus in animals taking it. I just hope My dr feels the same way. or AT LEAST lets me taper off!!!!

Finding out if u r indeed pregnant is step number one for sure
Tapering u off, if u r pregnant would be up to your dr...the child would be born addicted possibly if u did not get off..and I dont think anyone wants to see a newborn go thru wds..I have and it is postively awful
Being honest with your physician and of course finding out if u r indeed pregnant would be a good start
If the case is u need large amounts of narcotics for quality of life, I would perhaps look into assuring a pregnancy does not occur again?  That is me tho and we r all different

yes i was planning on going in a few mins. so chill!!!   i'm just kidding. but i know what u mean. it may be nothing, i may just be getting FAT! who knows! (I did gain over 20 llbs in my last pregnancy and i still have 10 to go. It was just strange that in the last week i went back up after losing about 5 llbs this past month it just (seemingly instantaneous) CAME BACK LIKE a snap of the fingers! So i really dont know until i do the dreaded test. So i'll let you know......

I have to second the feelings of Vicki on this. Your caught speculation right now. You need to know if in fact your pregnant to make some decisions here..If not, your going to continue to fuel the anxiety your creating over the unknowns.

[vicki595]

Listen to me...You need to do the test.  You're just going to freak out until you know what's going on.  Just do it. This is NOT an impossible situation.

I didn't realize you were in a detox facility.  Still,that was horrible. People get crazy if they C/T from sub without a taper.  God!!!

That won't happen again. You can taper this down very nicely. Your OB will make a plan IF YOU ARE PREGNANT.  Really,sweetie,do the test tonight...right now. You need to know what's up...

OMG I KNOW VICKI!! (about the cold turkey nonsense!) and just an fyi----i DIDNT AGREE TO ANYTHING. The place i was put into INSISTED...even tho i told them (cause i was going NUTSO, i'm sure is why i said this)I DONT CARE ABOUT THE BABY! GIVE ME DRUGS!!!  Lol....i was in soooo much pain and discomfort. i really DID NOT SLEEP for about 2 weeks. I seriously just sat in a detox unit AWAKE every nite for 2 wks. i finally got out and went straight 2 a pharmacy and got some tylenol pm!!! (my gyno said at least that or unisom was ok) but i dont wanna get into thatsituation again! so u can understand why i a)dont even WANNA take a test, and b)if i do and AM pregnant, i will not be telling anyone till i get something in WRITING!!

Hi Cindy~  Wow!!  That was a bad experience...

Okay...first things first. Do an at home pregnancy test so you know what's going on.

If you're pregnant,see a different OB. Be totally honest about the med use. They may begin a slow taper.  Cold turkey is dangerous for a fetus. Don't ever agree to that!!

Post back~  There may be other things going on in your tummy;like a GI virus etc..

Yikes! Sounds like you have been raked over the coals in a bad way. And I understand why you have so much concern now. On the question of pregnancy, I have no idea as to any complications possibly arising from oxy use during the course of it. Only your doctor would be qualified to advise you on that . Maybe somebody else in here knows, but I'm not familar. On the qiestion of wd's your concerned about should you find yourself in sucha position. My guess is you would be looking at a weeks time to get over the worst of it but on a positive note, It would be nothing compared to what you have gone thru..My goodness. In all I've read about sub, I cannot believe you got broadsided with a CT experience off that stuff. I'm sure you will get some more feedback shortly so be patient. You will find plenty of suport to help you thru your concerns here as I have , Just a great site to be involved with here :) take cae ..David
