Hi I am new to Medhelp so if I double posted I am sorry. Anyway I am preg and was addicted to hydrocodone 10 mg 3X a day. I wanted to just stop cold turkey but was unable to cause of the WD and being preg. I went to a Dr w/my OB's advice to get on Suboxone,but he wouldn't cause he said Methadone is what is used while preg as it is safe? He started me on 10 mg 3X day which is WAY to strong so I am now trying 5mg 2X a day. Anyway, it seems this Methadone is much stronger than the hydro's were and that its addicting to. What is the point? Why wouldn't I just stay on the hydro's and taper down? I feel like I am getting nowhere. I understand they can't just take me off CT being preg as it is not safe, but why switch to Methadone? Why not just taper off the hydro's? Is Methadone really safer cause I know a lot of preg women who have taken hydro prescribed by a DR while preg. I am just sooooooooooooooo confused.
