scared

Hi all!

im sooooo scared, im 28 weeks pregnant, and been on 10/325 of percocet 3 x's a day, i have managed to ween myself down to 1 and 1/2 a day. I WANT TO STOP! i been reading a lot of posts on here, i just been scared to post anything. I'm scared for my baby, and I'm scared to tell my doctor in fear he'll have my baby taken away from me. My mind is racing 24/7 about this, i feel like such a piece of s*** sooooo worried i hurt my baby. Please someone give me some advise. I know I'm gonna be judged like I'm a horrible person :(

Hi hon,

Welcome to the forum. I'm so glad you came and talked to all of us. You are doing the right thing by tapering off while you are pregnant. Keep going and please, please talk to your doctor about this. If you can't get in to see him, maybe you can ask his nurse to give him a message and he could call you? I know mine was very supportive when I would call in for help during my withdrawals.

Be strong and know you are doing the right thing!

Hi all,

      Today is a new day, and I'm feeling much better, the withdraws from the tapering has subsided, and next step is to rid of them completely, although I'm sure another slight withdraw awaits when completely gone, but at least i have a taste of hope that it does get easier, and i will feel good again. still down to half pill, and i set a goal date to off that. I do admit the mental craving is still there, but i keep coming on here to get through that. since i cut back i can feel my baby move much more. I can't wait to be free of this, and enjoy the rest of my pregnancy, she will be here in April. Have a great day everyone, and to those who are struggling, hang in there it does get better, we are not hopeless
