opiod use

[aliceof3]

I have been using vicodin for 4 years. I have tried to stop,been to detox,NA nothing seems to be helping. I started off taking them for back pain and then became addicted. I cannot seem to stop thinking about them,and try everything to get them when I run out. It has pushed my spouse away and I want to stop but its always on my mind. I currently take about 5 daily and I am 7 months pregnant. I want to taper off,can someone please tell me how can I do that without the mental withdrawals and aggitation? I cannot do this anymore. This is suppose to be a happy time with my pregnancy,but find myself trying to find ways to alleviate the withdrawals...... that's why I keep using...........HELP
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for the comment. I do not have anymore vicodin left, I have two more months of pregnancy left,just wondering if I do not take another pill during my pregnancy,would the drug be out of my system,by the time the baby is born?

You need to taper off of meds your pregnant .I am going to contact one of our members she is/was an obgyn nurse .She has helped many of our pregnant ladies. Also if you haven't it is VERY important you tell you doctor !!!! I realize its scary but this is about the health of your unborn baby .This will be OK you will have a happy healthy baby :)

Thanks for the input,I do not have anymore pills left I took the last one this morning. Hopefully I can stay occupied so that Its not too uncomfortable.My plan was to not take anymore,I just get so frustrated,that I cannot seem to stop,I just need support while I go through this tough time...........

withdrawals are not comfortable..tapering very slwowly can help but u would need to hand ur pills over and let someone u trust dose them out to u..talk to ur docotr and write out a plan..choose a day to quit..and ur doctor should be involved
