Opiates & Pregnancy

[JMC1983]

I detoxed off of pain meds when I found out, I didn't tell my suboxone doctor that I was pregnant, I did some research, and called him and he said if he knew I was pregnant he would not of prescribed me those, he suggested methadone, and that i am not supposed to go through withdrawals because it could hurt my baby. I just found out on the 5th of April that I am 3 months! I found out I was prego a few weeks before. I dabbled again when i ran out of my methadone, I was taking 30mgs percs. I am scared to tell my obgyn because of child services! I am back on methadone and am hopin my dealer doesn't run out. I want to ween myself, so I don't go through major withdrawals, and am not planning on taking them through my whole pregnancy! Any information would help!

From what I've read about it...it should help control your withdrawal. It's supposed to minimize the effects and make it easy to quit....I don't know what to say, I don't know anything about how it feels to take it but I do know that it's SUPPOSED to make withdrawals unnoticeable. why did he say you should go to your dealer? that doesn't even make sense. I wonder if there's another OB who might handle this situation better....

I'm screwed guys, the doc prescribed me clonidine for withdrawals. I took my last methadone, My supporter, and the doc told me i should taper down a little with meethadone before I start the other. Doc even told me that I might have to go to my dealer... NICE RIGHT?!?!?!?!?! So I am def gonna be withdrawaling...If anyone knows about Clonidine please help!!!

I am SO happy that you told them...I know it has to feel like the world is no longer riding on your shoulders. Now you have the support of your fiance, and you know you're doing the best thing for your baby. Good job...keep up the hard work and you absolutely did the right thing. <3
