Methadone and Pregnancy info...

Hi. I would definitely like to see info on here about Methadone and pregnancy. There isn't a lot of information about this out there and what little they do have is wrong. For example, a lot of people (even doctors) do not know that detoxing off of Methadone while pregnant can be VERY dangerous to the baby and can even cause miscarriage and premature labor. Methadone is very safe for a pregnant woman to be on and is advised for pregnant women addicted to opiates. I just HATE to see scared pregnant women scurrying to gather information and getting the wrong kind that may put their babies in danger. I have been through it and was lucky enough to find a wonderful Methadone and Pregnancy forum. I'm not sure if I can post a link to it here but please let me know if I'm allowed to and I will do so.

Anyway, this is my suggestion. Please let me know what you all think.

Hi,

We actually have some more medical content coming soon. We just upgraded our Medical Glossary to ADAM and it now contains much more in depth information. We're also going to be adding more over the coming weeks. I will check to see if it has information on this. If not, maybe we can get a write up for this. Thank you for the suggestion.

Hey I totally agree. I have a lot of questions still, but I know it is very safe, and it makes me mad people don't understand it or are so close minded. Can you send me the link??
Thanks so much,
taylor
