In a bad place

Is it really possible to taper off a norco addiction? Have been wanting to stop for years and now I'm pregnant. I'm so scared & ashamed. Have never felt so alone or desperate in my life. I just wonder how I got here. So afraid of the w/d process & reading up on experiences people have had on Subutex, which is used in pregnancy, doesn't give me too much encouragement. Has anyone been able to successfully wean themselves off opiates? Please help me.

many have... but sweetheart, PLEASE PLEASE talk to your obgyn asap about this.  PLEASE.  for the sake of your childs health.

trust me, he/she has heard it before.. i promise you that.  they will be able to give you the best plan possible so as not to harm your child.

we were ALL ashamed about our addition.  but i think you will feel so much better having taken the right steps to address this problem, instead of worrying and doing nothing.  and your child deserves the safest way possible.

it's your childs lifetime you are dealing with.  so please handle this in the safest way... it will only take a few minutes to open up with your doc and get a proper plan to do this, and a lifetime of gratefulness that you did the best for your child.
