ADDICTION: SUBSTANCE ABUSE COMMUNITY

addicted to codeine and pregnant

Hello,

I currently take up to 400mg per day of codine (extracted from aspirin & codeine tabs) in two doses, one in the morning and one in the evening.

I just found out I am pregnant, and I want to do what is absolutely best for my baby. At first, I considered quitting cold turkey, but I have read that it is a bad idea.

Would tapering be a good idea? What is a good taper method?

Thanks,

Jen

Hey,

CT is a bad idea as what you experience so will your Baby.  You should seek a Professional opinion and care at this point.  See the Doc and come clean with him.  They will help you with a managed detox and/or maintenance program of some sort.  

Best,

WM
