Pregnant And Withdrawal

My husband was diagnosed with lupus in july 2007. he was put on prenisone and then in January 2008 he started on cellcept. after this many months he started with diareha. he had a colonoscopy to rule out other problems. the doctor was sure that the diarehia was from the cellcelp. he stopped the cellcept this past friday. will my husband have withdrawal and will the diarehia stop. should they start another type of therapy in place of the cellcep. ## I have been on cellcept for nearly 5 years now(kidney transplant). Your husband's diareha can be from the cellcept. I went off of cellcept when I got pregnant with my son. After I had him I had to go back on cellcept and I got diareha, I remember when I first started cellcept I had it also. I hope this helps.

Hi there,i will be going home for vacation in my home country nxt week and i'm married...i didnt take pills now,because they dont have the brand im using,there's no other way than to use withdrawal method while having pills for not get pregnant..is it safe to use this method with oral contraceptive at the same time...thanks ## Hello, Cel! How are you? Yes, though not foolproof, it is always safe to use the withdrawal method. As reported by the FDA, it does have a failure rate, so the best thing to do is to also use some other form of contraceptive. Is there anything else I can help with? ## The side effects of your oral contraceptive, as listed by the FDA, may include breakthrough bleeding, PMS-like symptoms, nausea and headache. ## thank you so much fr your reply... ## cel, you...

I've been taking seroquel xr 200mg x 2 a day. I've been taking it for a year and a half now and I'm wanting to have a baby but I'm scared to death of the withdrawals. I've read some scary stories as well as dangers of the drug I wasn't aware of. Any advise/suggestions? ## Hello, Niki! How are you? I would suggest consulting your doctor. They will be able to help you with a proper and safe way to taper off of the medication, before you become pregnant. That would be far better than trying to get ideas on internet. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I've tried to taper off with my doctors approval but I was got so sick after changing the dosage one time. I was hoping there may be a vitamin or a supplement to help with the withdrawals.

Please help. My doctor had me on percoset 10/325 4 times a day. That was for over a year. Well I found out I was pregnant and the doctors promised me it was ok for me to take them. Well I started not taking as many cause I wanted to stop for my baby. I started getting sick and at first had no clue why. The doctor told me I was going thru withdrawel and I couldn't stop taking the meds while I was pregnant cause it could hurt me and the baby. Long story short they recommended me start methadone while I was pregnant. Well my baby was five weeks early they said more than likely it had nothing to do with the methadone. He was fine at first. He weighed 5 pds 6 oz. After a few days the nurses said he started showing signs of withdrawal. They started him on methadone. He was in that hospita...

Surely I'm not the only person reading in shock and disbelief. How is it that so many people are unaware of the basic facts and information regarding bup. I am reading in horror that woman are trying to detox during pregnancy. That is the worst option - it is risking both lives. I also read a question regarding the effectiveness of mixing bup with methadone. Anyone using these meds should know it causes withdrawals, that's the point of bup. I feel lucky to have drug treatment services that are free but able to stand along what is provided to private patients. It's horrible to think of pregnant woman on bup having to come on here to ask for info and not telling their dr in fear of judgement or welfare. What is up with a woman thinking its an option to detox at five mnths preg...

I am 19 weeks pregnant. I have been taking 2mg Dilaudid every four hours daily, which would be a total of 12mg in a 24hr period. I have been taking it since 13 weeks pregnant, so a little over 6 weeks. I have been taking it every single day for chronic kidney pain. My doctor decided to transfer my care to a pain management clinic, and my appointment is not until Tuesday, it is currently Saturday. My OB refuses to write me a script to get to through until my appointment, and even though I have been taking them only as directed, they want be to come in and be converted to Methadone. NOT HAPPENING. I will suffer through all the pain in the world before having a child born to Methadone. My OB has refused to wean me down on the medication, so I am currently off it cold turkey. My last dose w...

I've been on oxycodone 30 for years, now I have stopped 2 months ago, but in the process of withdrawal (it was hell). I went to the ER cause I looked like I was a losing it, flaring my arms because I couldn't sit still. Was clean for 2 weeks, then the pain came back and I fell back in. Now I am taking oxycodone again, and I want to stop, but hate these restless nights. I've been up for a week with no sleep and chills at night. What can I take to get off this medication? No suboxones, natural remedies are preferred. Please help. I'm also pregnant. ## Hi I knew something until you said you were pregnant. But once the baby’s born read about oxy withdrawals online. Start skipping a dose and take an Ondansetron and a half Bupranorphine You can get these from your doctor...

I'm pregnant and only take 1 mg a day of subutex for a year. I want to stop. its been 3 days and I can't sleep! I don't want to tell my dr cause I just want to quit. I'm so sick of feeling this way and being addicted. is it safe for me to quit cold turkey? ## Hello, Niki! How are you? Congratulations on the baby! No, it is definitely not safe for you to just stop taking it, while you're pregnant. While you may do okay, the withdrawal effects could be very dangerous for your baby and might result in miscarriage or stillbirth. Please, speak to your doctor about this, if you really feel you need to stop taking it, they can help you do so safely. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizzines...

I am pregnant and on 3 8 mg a day. My doctor told me I could take 4 a day if I needed it but insurance won't cover 4. So he didn't see the reasonto write 4. Well I am out and it is sunday so I can't call my doctor. I am very sick. If I go to the er can they give me 1 or 2 to make it through the night and tomorrow morning? ## RE: "can i go to the er for suboxone withdrawal?" + "If I go to the er can they give me 1 or 2 to make it through the night and tomorrow morning?" You can go to the ER for any type of medical emergency. However, whether or not they give you 1 or 2 suboxone tablets is based on their own discretion. So unfortunately the only way to find out for sure would be to go there in person. If they are unwilling to give you whatever level of treatmen...

Hi. I started using trigestrel in January and for the past 2 months when I got to the placebo pills I would have withdrawal bleeding but it was lighter than my usual period (which I've always had quite a light period). I've just finished my third pack now but decided not to take the placebo pills as they contain no hormones and I thought they wouldn't affect anything. my problem now is that I've only just had very light brownish discharge and no real bleeding and would like to find out if I could possibly be pregnant. I take my pills at the same time every night and have never skipped. I've also experienced serious side effects such as dizziness,nausea and tender breasts and have assumed it was the pill because it started when I started the pill. I know a pregnancy t...

I have been taking either suboxone or subutex for a little over a year now. I started taking it because I have a bad knee and my line of work causes a lot of pain (CNA in nursing home). I ended up getting hooked on it. I only take 2mg a day and I do sometimes skip a day. I recently found out I am about 5 weeks pregnant unexpectedly and I am terrified. I refuse to have a baby hooked on anything but I have read that stopping can cause miscarriage. I am already scared because I had a miscarriage 6 years ago. I do not know what to do. I want to stop taking it but safely and I'm scared to tell a doctor due to the fact I do not have a prescription. Please Help! ## First of all, suboxone and subutex are NOT used for pain. They are used, wrongly, for withdrawal symptoms associated with opia...

I started taking suboxone in early June. 8mg/2mg strips. 1 1/2 a day. I didn't find out I was pregnant till around 14 weeks. That's a completely different story but luckily baby is safe due to being on birth control for about 7 weeks of me not knowing yet. Anyway I wanted to get off the subs so I left message after message for my OB and heard nothing back. I finally went in for my 18 week ultrasound. When I asked about OB about what was going on he seemed very confused. He has known about the suboxone but had no clue about me wanting to get off the med because the nurse never gave the messages to him. He advised me to stay on it for the safety of the baby. He said chances are he won't have withdrawals after birth but just incase it is easier for him to treat outside the womb...

I need to know if ANYONE has any information regarding KY state regulations of the detoxing and administration of Subutex with pregnant women. Can an MD pull the prescription without warning from a pregnant woman? what are the side effects of withdrawal from this with mother/child in last trimester? ## If the woman is not in immediate, life threatening danger, then no doctor is required to treat her, or prescribe any medication, even if she is pregnant.

My wife is pregnant and I just found out she has been taking Subutex for several months. To make matters worse she's been trying to taper off this drug under the advise of someone she met at other forums. She hasn't let the doctor know she's been taking this drug and this guy has her convinced he can taper her off without harming the baby. I'm besides myself and trying to get her to at least let the doctor monitor her progress on a regular basis while she gets off this stuff. Is this really safe for her to be doing or am I right in thinking she's lost her mind trusting this person? ## I am on subutex and pregnant.

I'v been on Suboxone Film,8mg,for a year. Before switching to film,I was taking subutex tablets,8 mg, 3 years.Every time i'v tapered down to quit, I'v failed. I cant handle the endless hell of w/d symptoms. The last time I tapered off, 4 weeks later I was still sick as hell. So I deciced long-term maintenance was best. I didnt plan on getting pregnant, but now that i am, i need to take care of my body. Considering the agony I go thru w/d, I hoped I would get the go ahead for a dr. to stay on the med, perhaps in a smaller dose,(4mg a day). Has anyone gone thru a similar situation? ## Well, stopping completely and going through withdrawals is generally not recommended, because it may actually cause a miscarriage. The problem, however, is that the safety of the Buprenorphine be...

I stopped taking oralcon feb 15th after I had my withdrawal bleeding and haven't had my period since. Can I be pregnant after a negative home test? I used to get my periods twice a month even though I took my tablets everyday. I was on oralcon for a year. ## Hello, Charlie! How are you? Yes, there is a chance, if you've were actively engaging in intercourse, after stopping them. Not all home tests are accurate, especially very early. But it may also just be due to stopping the contraceptives. It can take a few months for your body to balance the hormones back out on its own. How long were you on the Oralcon? ## Hi.

I have been on methadone for seven years. Thru a clinic. I also am prescribed many anti depressants as well as 2 mg klonopin. I just found out iam 10 weeks pregnant. What should i do? Does me taking both these medications affect my baby? Where di i go to research this. I do not eant to hurt my baby at all. Any advice? ## Methadone is usually not stopped during pregnancy, if the mother has been on it for a long time, though the baby may experience some side effects, when it is born and could also suffer some minor withdrawals. However, suddenly stopping it can be far more dangerous, because if you go into severe withdrawals it could result in miscarriage, according to the NIH. Benzodiazepines, such as Klonopin, should usually not be taken during the first trimester, however, abruptly sto...
