Hello~
I am 27 years old and have been on Methadone for pain managment for over 2 years now after having been prescribed Percocet for nearly 8 years. I have suffered from severe Endometriosos for 10 years and had my right ovary removed during one of 8 surgeries to treat the disease. I am now almost 21 weeks pregnant with a baby girl and have been, under the supervision of my doctor, weaning down from over 40mg a day. Almost 6 days ago I took my last 5mg dose of the Methadone and have since felt pretty horrible. I have had constant withdrawal symptoms including loose stools, constant sneezing and yawning, muscle pain, and insomnia, to name a few. I am committed to do this, however, I just need to know if this is potentially harming my baby or how long these symptoms should last...the weaning process was done through out the first 20 weeks.
