No longer lurking <3 this site and need support OPIATE addict & just found out preg

today she didn't take any dilly because she woke up without chills for once and wanted to see if the wd would progress before taking any (which says a lot for her bcuz mentally is hard just to not take it for the ritual of it). It's now 6 pm and she took a nap woke up and have slight goosebumps but no other physical withdrawal symptoms. I'm wondering if maybe it's done it's been 18 hours since last took about .5 mg. should she be sick by now? No Gabapentin today only my prenatal vitamin and some melatonin last night to sleep. If this is the worst of it SHE IS DONE AND READY TO THROW HERSELF A FUCKING PARTY...if not well at least it's getting easier. She is 7 weeks today and feeling very pregnant and that is enough to make her throw away the rest she has to wean off if it's not going to get worse. Does anyone know how long after railing like .5 mg dilly she would start wd?? I can say that before she couldn't go to sleep even for a 2 hour nap without waking up sick and she slept like 5 hours last night and took a two hour nap today and only goosebumps no sweats no chills no nothing. Is this the light at the end of the tunnel guys??????

I would take a .25 and then from there stop but you have to listen to the doctor from within yourself as well! but dont throw away meds because if you do start to get sick then your baby will feel sick too ! But take less and less and less for your baby then stop ! you should really see a specialist they will only help you and your baby it is a common issue !
 
update <3 down to just a lil crumb every other day.... probably could just stop any day now. only thing that gets me is the lack of sleep because my body temperature rises so dang high as soon as i fall asleep!!! so i sleep for an hour at a time and then have to wait for my temp to adjust and goosbumps to stop for like 15 mins before i can fall back asleep. now, i could just deal with this and stop c/t cause its really not that bad, not as bad as i want to just quit but i dont want the baby to feel any discomfort. seeing the dr this friday so i have to stop completely this week.
 
you do not have to stop before you see the doctor ! however if you feel like you can with minimal discomfort then do it ! but the doctor will only help ! you should talk to the dr about the opiate use regardless if you stop or not. good luck and feel better !
 
PROTIP: IF you continue using opiates during your pregnancy you'll end up with a child addicted to opiates as well and guess what? The doctor will know what's up by the child's symptoms and you might end up getting into more trouble than you bargained for when you decided NOT to tell your doctor.

Either, get off opiates NOW. Or tell your doctor and save yourself a world of hurt.
 
done!!! was off all opiates as of last wed saw doctor on Friday did not tell him about the opiate weaning because felt no physical symptoms other than a little anxiety which the gabapentin helps with. doctor said the low dose of 200 mg per day gabapentin is fine but if I want to wean off he will do that in the second trimester. Had a sonogram found out was 10 weeks instead of 9 weeks and baby is big and healthy, heartbeat strong. Feel better than ever, other than regular pregnancy symptoms but just to have finally gotten off opiates and to have a reason to stop permanently feels amazing. It can be done! Thanks to all for your support.
 
Amazing result, so proud of how well uv done! I was absent for a while sorry, but I have accepted ur friend request.

I'm sure uv been overwhelmed with supportive msgs, but if u need ongoing motivation,(other then ur sweet bub), pm me, happy to chat, keeps my mind busy ;)

NEVER cold turkey from opiates when pregnant!! This can cause spontaneous miscarriage.
I am 9 weeks pregnant, with my third could, and I am on dehydracodeine.
I anted to cold turkey and when I researched it the ammount of ppl who were saying that this was dangerous is incredible! It actually scared me! .. when I visited a new doctor and asked for help she conformed that what I had researched was true! .. And that i could have miscarried very easily.
what opiate is your friend on? .. Codeine is safe during pregnancy except in the last trimester when baby can become addicted and suffer respiratory depression.
Please tell you friend to visit a doctor and be honest! X

The baby will only become addicted if the drug is used in the last trimester after 36+ weeks.. during the first and second trimester it's safe.
You shouldn't advise a pregnant woman to come off of the drug "NOW" as it can cause miscarriage if they go cold turkey
 
Actually! I maybe wrong!!!! Depends on what opiate she's using!! ... if it's heroin then yes most definitely could be addicted regardless of trimester.. but with codeine.. it's fine untill the last trimester
