You don't need sub.  You're on a good taper plan. Stick with that and stay strong. Take the clonidine as he directed and that's it.   No more drugs Mommy...

If you go to suboxone . org it will give you information about it. It is a opiate so I don't know if I would use it if pregnant. I'm sure it could be good in some situations. For example if you are using heroin and shooting it. That there could be dangerous especially if you are sharing needles. What are you currently taking and how much? The thing about sub is that your baby would have to be tapered down once he/she is born to keep withdrawals from being too bad. It wouldn't be any different than if you were on other pills. Why not taper now so you don't have to worry about your baby having to go through it at birth? Just be open and honest with your OBGYN so they can help you and your baby.
Best of luck!

I got my dr to call me some in back in september and I dont think they done anything for me either. Everybody is different. They may help some people but i dont think that they helped me.
