Hi all! Im a newbie to this forum and this is my first post, Just happened to stumble upon it, hoping for some words of wisdom. Well I had a baby 22 months ago, during the labor, i had complications with the epidural as it was placed 5 seperate times before it was actually right. (Nightmare, I know) Well since then, I have had severe back problems. I was put on vicodin, then percocet now oxycodone (which is not as strong as oxycontin). Well Ive been on these darn pills for 22 months now and my body has created a dependance on them. If I miss a dose, my body cramps, I get cold sweats, I have horrific w/d! Well, I just found out 3 days ago that Im pregnant again! Lord's blessing in disguise, I take it! Well, Im scared of the effects of the pills on the baby. My first appointment isnt until the end of January! As of 3 days ago, Ive tried to cut my dosage down a little, and am doing well with that. I am trying to taper down until Im at a very low dose and hope, REALLY hope and pray that I dont have too much w/d and hopefully get off of these darn pills. My body really gets terribly sick when I dont have one. Im soooooo scared! Any one out there go through this? Please any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
