Im 20 weeks pregnant and trying to taper off lortab.

[jesse365]

I have been taking lortabs for about two and a half months and im 20 weeks pregnant im down to half a ten a day but im scared to completely stop I im worried if it will hurt the baby I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice on how to finish tapering and stop completely without hurting my baby.

Hi everyone -

Just in case anyone wasn't aware - we don't allow tapering schedules, and especially given that Jesse365 is pregnant, any advice now should come from her doctor.

Thanks for understanding,

Emily

Hi there- Welcome to the forum. You've done a good job with your taper but you need to stop tapering now until you speak with your doctor. It's the best thing to do for the baby. I'm sure you're fine but we don't know your personal history so it's difficult for us to advise you on how to proceed...How much were you taking per day before now?

Just talk to the doctor and tell him/her about your use. Your situation is not unusual at all so don't worry.  Stay in touch!
