Pregnant and need off subs. Someone please help ASAP

[Mommy2B]

I've been on subs since January after a lengthy percocet addiction. I just found out I'm 10 weeks pregnant and want desperately to get off this stuff I'm down to 1 or 2, 2mg strips a day. Can someone please guide me from here?! I have a brand new box of 2mg strips (30) and need to be off by the end of this box. Thank you all in advance for reading this far and God bless you

I can help you but you need to get off the suboxone IMMEDIATELY and use subutex. Suboxone has naloxone in it and is not good for the baby. I promise you that I am right. You need to call the dr immediately, tell them you need the subutex, which also comes in a generic, it's very inexpensive, and let me know when you get the subutex. I would NOT use anymore of the suboxone. Any sub dr that knows what he/she is doing knows subutex ONLY should be used for pregnant ladies. Keep me posted. God bless.

I have the phone in my hand calling right now. I thank you so much for you response and more importantly the help you've offered. I will let you know when I have the subtex. God bless you.

The generic is buprenorphine and it costs about $2 a pill vs $8-$9 a pill for the name brand. The generic works just fine!! And ask for the 8mg generic pills unless you have great insurance that will pay for all the 2mg pills. God bless.

So please update me! Did you get the dr to prescribe the subutex instead of the suboxone? Talk to me. God bless.

Yes, at first he tried telling me to stay on the subs but after a bit of back and fourth he agreed. My insurance will only accept it through the mail order so I'm now waiting for them to fed ex it. Funny thing is the dr. Had a problem when I told him I want off and was adamant that staying on is better for the baby?! This can't be true can it? He basically told me after writing the script I'm on my own. Do you think I should find another sub doctor or do you think I can be off them in a month? God bless you Robert for all you do.

Your sub dr obviously doesn't know what he is doing and he is pushing this off on you so he doesn't get himself involved with any liability with you being pregnant. Sounds like a heck of a guy, the kind of dr I would want my daughter or wife to stay away from!

I can line up the girls I have tapered off subutex while pregnant if needed and they would post to you. The other people on this forum will back me and assure you that they've witnessed me doing this perfectly safely numerous times, three in the last month alone!

We can work together and if you'll do exactly what I say I'll have you totally subutex free in sixty days MAX, probably sooner, and your baby won't suffer, plus you'll deliver a perfectly healthy baby that won't be addicted to any drugs. That is of course assuming you have no unrelated issues that I'm unaware of. Is everything else okay so I know what we're doing?

I promise this is totally safe and I don't even know how many moms I have done this with. I don't mess around with the safety of a baby! You can trust this will go just fine, and I would stay away from that dr. How many pills and what dose of pill did he prescribe for you? God bless.

Mommy,
All my Doctors and OB GYN tried to pressure me to continue on subutex as well. It's for mixed reasons but none of it is in your best interest or your baby's best interest. All they care about is their liability and their pockets. They gave me such a hard time at my OB GYN they forced me to talk to a social worker and finally last week I switched OB GYN's! You'll be fine but yes you should be on subutex not suboxone.
