Suboxone and pregnant need help!

[Eeko906]

I've been taking about .5-1 mg suboxone everyday for about 3 weeks and I am 3 months pregnant (I was using painkillers before that) I'm nervous that subs could harm the baby but am also scared because I know withdrawal off of it could possibly result in miscarriage...please help if you have experience with this!

You need to go see a sub doctor or baby doctor now, to find out if any damage has been done to bubby from pill use while pregnant.  Using pills while pregnant, as you know, is not good for the baby. It can lead to long term side effects after bubby is born.

I was taking 32mg daily while pregnant from my sub doctor who has a sub clinic and is very experienced in this field and he never ever recommends any pregnant woman ever try to detox, it will not help the baby at all. Because you were taking pills before subs, if you try quit subs now, chances are your baby will definantly go into withdrawls.

I hope your not taking the strips, your are not soposed to if pregnant, only take the tabs. I cant stress this enough, do not use suboxone, only use subutex. Every doctor out there will tell you this. Suboxone is not designed for pregnant women. That is why they designed the tablet.

Please please I beg you, go to a sub doctor now, before this could result in tragedy.  I dont want to scare you, but I have a hell of a lot of experience in your story. Im not a doctor but I have been through this many times and im giving you the advice of an experienced sub doctor, MY DOCTOR. Good luck and I wish you and your bubby nothing but the best.

What does your OBGYN say about it? Is he your prescribing physician?
