I just joined and am looking for support to quit vike's. I have been addicted for almost 2 years now. I just found out that I am pregnant about a month ago so that was a shell shock (was on BC(go figure..)) and am desperate to quit. I have tried several times on my own but only make it about 2 days before I feel so ****py I give up. I will be finding a doc to see about the risks/benefits of the suboxone treatment while pregnant. I have looked into it and no studies done so far to confirm or deny risks to fetus. I would love to know if anyone has heard anything or been in the same situation. I am scared about detoxing while pregnant I dont know what the drugs will do. But I am more scared to deliver an addicted baby or hurt or possibly lose my baby while im pregnant cause I cant stop taking pills on my own. Any advice or just plain ole support would be great. I am desperatly in need of both. thanks everyone! and I will be a regular poster on here. I give as much as I recive... So many of yall's postings about being clean has really boosted my spirits about being able to quit just for the hour I have been on the puter looking at posts. Thanks! for the indirect help

Hi, I'm Phyllis. I'm sorry to see you're having so much trouble. Did you talk to your doctor yet? What did he/she say? I have faith that you CAN beat this. Please e-mail me with anything you may want to talk about. Mind you, I AM NOT A HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL. Maybe we can help each other. [8)] grampasgrl3432@aol.com

Believe me it sucks quitting, but you can do it. I was taking up to 30 lortabs a day. I've been clean for 5 months now. It's hard but it's so worth it. YOU CAN DO IT!!

Suboxone treatment is exelllent for pregnant women and is highly recommended.Good luck....Dave

I am taking suboxone and they do not recomend that you take it during pregnancy unless the doctor determines that the potential benefit to the women justifies the potential risk to the unborn child. My suboxone dr does not prescribe to pregnant women, but it still would be worth checking into. The suboxone will get you off the opiates.
