Are you depressed about having the child? What got you into these pills even though you knew that you would have to quit or the child could be taken. I am not sure how a 40mg a day habit is even worth the life of your child. I think you need to get on suboxone for a 5 day period and then taper off that. The taper is going to be too difficult for a recreational user with heavy stress such as yourself. It would take more time and thats time you dont want to waste as your child is also becoming addicted. Please do the right thing.
As others have said slow taper and talk to your doctor asap
I remember when I had a 40mg a day oxy habit. That was a dose I could still function on, and still taper and deal with the withdrawals. A year or so late I'm eating 60's like candy, along with a handful of 5's that do nothing to me. Taking anywhere from 240-300 a day keeps me from going into w/d, althouhg i wake up in it every morning. It lasts for about an hour after chewing my first oxy of the day. What I would give to be at the dose your at, my point is, your addiction can only get worse. Be honest with your obgyn now while you still have the chance. People are more inclinded to help those that are trying to help themselves.
You need to talk to your doctor now. If you're addicted, your baby is too. Have you ever seen an infant in wd? I have and it's heart wrenching.
OTOH, I have no idea how wd would effect a fetus and I doubt anyone else on here does either. So you do need to talk to your OB/GYN.
That's kind of a bizarre law you have there but I guess it makes sense in a way.
u neded to fess up to ur ob/gyn and the pediatrician if u continue to use...u have a humongous goal to stop,,,40 mgs is not a difficult dose to taper from...cut down 5 mgs a week,,read the taper article in the health pages/write out ur taper and pick a QUIT day/flush the rest...there is power related to flushing/u take ur power back from those yucky pills...u have a reason to be clean..u r possibly hurting another human being directly by ur use...maybe not but u need to talk to ur dr....if this is not a good enuf reason to quit then i cant think of a better one...if u r on it for chronic pain..talk to ur pain mgt dr...thing is..dont sink and give up///ur dose is very do-able
Hi, first of all, you've come to the right place. I've met some fantastic people on this site, and you will also. The thing is that you're now thinking of yourself AND the baby, and that's important...Hang in there...you've got friends all around you....
