Please help me, i do not want to hurt my unborn child and have no clue on what to do to stop taking these pills without getting horribly sick like i do. the withdrawl is soo bad, i get every single effect, its so horrible. I have been on oxycontin 40mg and roxicodone 30mg for almost 3yrs and just found out that I am pregnant not even a week ago~
You indicated an addiction to pain meds and now are pregnant. Might I suggest you either lower the dosage, little by little, or have longer periods between taking them? You might consider cutting the pills in half, also.
yes thank you, I have been doing that, Im still worried about when I get to the end of tapering down that I still am going to be getting really sick or hurt the fetus/baby....b4 i even found out i was pregnant i knew i was addicted bc even though i need to take them for pain since i almost died in a bad car accident, flipped my truck 10 times, lucky to be alive, have all kinds of things wrong w me, back , neck, shoulder, and still have glass stuck in me from windshield which i was supposed to have surgery this month but now it has to be put off till the baby is here as well as another MRI, any other suggestions please, thank you, i really appreciate it
Might I suggest a very serious conversation with your doctor about this? You surely do not want to have a drug addicted baby...that would be really bad. Get all the help you can right now and do whatever you have to do. May God be With You.

I have to agree, medical assistance with this is going to be VERY important, both the drugs and the possible withdrawals could endanger both you and the baby.
You really need to speak with your doctor and let them know about this issue.
I am not sure what medications are safe to use for addiction while you are pregnant, since I am not a medical professional, but your doctor will have more information on this.
Have you talked to them yet?
Don't be afraid to, you will not be the first, nor the last that they will see in this type of situation and they are trained to deal with it properly.
Have you thought of trying Tylenol instead of the drugs? Or cutting the drug dose in half and supplementing it with Tylenol? This might help. Don't give up.
ya i tried Tylenol, no good on how compared and how strong this stuff is, and how horribly sick i get which is more scarey i heard by being that sick is very harmful so i cant wait to ask my doc, my 1st appoint is coming up this week!! Im def telling them everything bc i do want to get the right help and do the right thing~
