pregnant/oxycodone

[kelsey13nk]

hi... so i'm 16 weeks pregnant monday, and i have been doing oxycodons a lot about 15 30 milli pills a day until i found out i was pregnant and since ive found out ive only done 3 or 4 30 milli a day but also slpit with 3 or 4 ppl so its really not that much milli if you think about it but... im trying this week to ween my self off of it by doin small amounts each day and when im off just taking a tylonol or two a day to help is this a safe way to get off?  or is there a better way?(with out going to my doctor or any medical help) and if i quit now will it be better for my baby in the long run? and i herd the heart beat,had a ultra sound, and the birth defects test and everythings fine so far... so please i need some advice beacuse i want to get off before next month and start being healthy for me and my baby thanks

DO NOT TAPER ON UR OWN. Be honest w/ your doctor about this(don't worry they deal w/this a lot more than u realize).They will decide how to proceed.Its very dangerous to do this on ur own while pregnant.Also dont worry about your baby he/she will b fine as long as u do what ur dr says.Opiates r 1 of the only drugs that r not really dangerous during pregnancy(please dont get me wrong that doesnt mean to continue taking them and not tell ur doctor).I was prescibed lortab through a large part of of pregnancy but there r still risks.You just need to go to the dr be 100% honest(I did my son is very healthy30month old and was born2wks earlt almost 10lbs thank god I was so honest w/my doc because I was indused early and unexpectedly and if we hadnt done a correct taper at the right time or I wasnt honest he could have been born addicted and honesty is the key to making sure u dint have to worry about ur child going anywhere but home w/u from the hospital) and u will get a plan from the dr. as to what route to take as far as a taper.Anything u feel as far as w/d the baby will as well so its really important to follow the plan to a T.Good luck and congratulations.U can do this and once u have the baby dont make the mistake I did and go back to the pills.(Im88days clean from a lot of hydro and its was so dumb to start again after he was born).

I agree with Vicki. Being pregnant changes the whole ball game. Please don't put the life of your baby in the hands of some advice on a forum. Please tell your doctor everything immediatley.

The absolute best advice anyone on this forum can give you is this:  Call your doctor and tell him/her all about this. It's dangerous for your baby if you to stop abruptly or taper off on your own.

Good luck-
