Hello all. I am a new member and having difficulty finding answers for my questions on the internet, so I thought I'd give some background on myself and see if anybody here has gone through what I am currently going through and offer some advice. K, here goes.....I am currently 6 weeks pregnant (calculated from 1st day of last period, so actually only about 4). I found out 8 ...
I am really sorry, but I have not read or have any knowledge of an aprox 4 to 6 week fetus going thru w/d, rather the concern would be more of development of the fetus and the impact of drug usage during this time. I would strongly recommend you make another appt with your doctor and get more specific information which will give you the knowledge you need to make the right ...
I agree with LateAugust.....Speak with your OB about your concerns and ask questions. Write them down so you dont forget. If you cant get the answers from one then find an OB who will listen and help you. Gather all the info, the pros and cons and then you and your husband can make a decision on what to do. I wish you all the best......sara
I am sorry no one educated u on sub....not sure why switching to subutex would be a big issue//unless u r having headaches? both contain the powerhouse narcotic....8 mgs ois a ton of sub in the world of sub..at 8 days i wouldnt turn back and start over onsub,,,but i am me and u r u
did u talk to ur dr about a slow taper from the suB? Cpourse if u r clean 8 days from sub going...
Hi. Just for clarification, I wasn't off for 8, I was off for 4 and then started to get the bad withdrawal symptoms and I didn't "go back" due to self-absorption, my first priority would obviously be the baby. Oh, and what is an AD?
an AD is an antidepressant
honey, I really dont know about Sub and pregnancy and Im not sure how much your OB will either. It seems a lot of doctors are really dumb about this kind of stuff. Do you have good insurance? Can you see an addiction specialist? Also I would speak with a pharmacist about Sub and pregnancy- they really know A LOT more than any doctor does about the ...
subutex can be taken while during pregnancy but there are very limited studies. most docs would have u switch to methadone very very very low dose and wean u off fast. you will be in some withdrawl slight at best if done properaly but seein how concerned u are for the life of ur child im sure a few weeks of uncomfortability is worth a lifetime of healthiness for ur baby, hope this...
First of all...you've come to the right place....this site is full of people that are compassionate and caring...and often have been thru similar.
I will say 1st that your sub dose is awfully high...especially since you've been on it long-term. You should have decreased the dose a long time ago...just for your OWN sake. How come you were Rx'ed so much?
You need to keep the...
i went through the same thing. it sucked but i did a quick taper over 2 weeks and then quit at exactly 6 weeks of pregnancy. it was difficult but i made it through and my baby is perfect. my motivation was thinking that if my baby was born an addict he would be an addict forever. the baby's brain is forever altered by the opiate dependance even if they withdraw as a newborn. when ...
Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for the support and the great links. They were very informational and helpful for me at the time to figure out what I may have been dealing with. As for now, I'm doing OK, still haven't miscarried - the docs said that could take awhile which is longer than I wish to wait so I will be taking matters into my own hands this week so as to have some control over the...
i just scrolled back up to your first post and see that you are only 4 weeks pregnant! That certainly could be a reason there was no HB yet! Plz dont give up hope yet, it could just be too early!!
melimeli---Wow, your post is uncalled for. You are in a sense placing blame on the OP.....VERY VERRY insensitive to the OP. If you want to try to help people in these forums...you need to be careful what you post....after all, there are people on the other side of your screen. OP...I'm sorry about the news. While I understand that people want to hold out hope....you all must...
Thanks for letting us know how you are. This forum is a great place to be, I am always learning from the experiences of others. Best wishes for whatever you decide to do.
I never meant to imply that u were self absorbed..i do know that when a erson is depressed..theybecome self absobed to protect themselves...ther becomes a lack of nrg to worry bout outside things,,,recently was in this state...hierarchy of needs is to live...and when u r depressed it is all we can do to make it thru the day much less making our friends and family problems part of our won agenda Sub is a strong narcotic...babies born to...
Hey! Hope you are doing ok. :) You are actually on a low dose compared to what I was on so that is definitely a plus for you! I was on 12 - 16 mgs DAILY! My sub doc did not switch me to subutex. She kept me on sub. My son (born on sub) will be 3 yrs old next month. And my daughter just turned 1 in Oct. Both of them are healthy, happy babies. Please keep in touch as I know this can be a very scary time and I will be glad to share any info I...
