Always hardest at the end?
I have tapered down to one oxy and one hydro a day. One a day. Half of the oxy in the early morning hours when I wake up in misery at 4 am, Half a hydro about noon, half a hydro about 6 pm, and half an oxy when I go to bed. Sometimes I take a quarter and see if it works.
I think I wont ever be able to get off these last pills. I rationalize with myself every step of the way, one pill can't hurt the baby, the baby can't get addicted to just one pill a day. Then I take it, and I spend the rest of the day beating myself up at how weak I am. I have 9 months to get off the last one little pill. Okay, 8 months. Can I taper the last little itty bitty pill in 8 months for crying out loud?!?
I hate oxycontin and hydrocodone. There is nothing in my life I cannot control but these stupid little yellow pills. Is it possible to taper in such a way that I do not notice it? I have not found it yet.

Thank you so much for your suggestions. I am in a pickle here. I know it.
Incidentally, do you live in GA? I lived there for 5 years, had my son there. I lived in Marietta, then bought my first house in Acworth up north of Marietta.

Have you considered Suboxone therapy? Done the right way, like FLaddict and beach suggests, it can beneficial.
No. I have 4 other kids - my 2 and hubby's 2. He travels with his new job and I am the only one to care for them. Their other bio-parents are not involved.
Like I said, I am only 4 weeks. There is no heartbeat or anything to moniter at this point in the game. As long as I beat this in a few days or maybe weeks, it should be fine. Just the tapering sucks a s s.

Oxy...you're very right. I'm sorry I didn't realize that. Tapering is a double edged sword. It definitely helps some with withdrawals. The problem is, I'm an addict, and tapering me was making 90 percs last 8 days instead of 6. You know, withdrawals are said to not be usually life threatening...but, I have no idea about what the stress would do on a fetus. Have you got the resources to try an inpatient detox where you could be monitored?
