Immediately speak to your OB. do not taper any more and ESPECIALLY do not quit cold turkey until you have spoken with your doctor. Quitting cold turkey can cause a miscarriage if you are not doing it under a doctor's advice.

So please speak to your doctor immediately, if you are taking a prescription you should be fine and if you are taking them illegally, your OB will NOT get you in trouble - he/she wants to help you deliver a healthy, happy baby, and helping you manage the medication is a part of that.

As Ashelen said DO NOT self taper. This has to be done under doctor supervision. Everything you feel the baby does too, even if yours is 'mild'. It's extremely important you talk to a doctor about this so they are aware of it when the baby is born and can help if the situation calls for it.
