No tramadol has nothing to do with speech delay
I too am in the same boat! And nervous. I'm 15 weeks today with my first .iv been on tramadol for two years straight anytime I ran out early or tried quitting it was IMPOSSIBLE! I longest I've went was three days without I got sweats chills Extream restlessness in my whole body sneezes fever shocks no motivation etc. I was taking 4-8 50 mg tramadol per day before I found out I was pregnant. I went in for my first Appt scared and told my doctor I take it for pain and anxiety he asked me how much I was taking I said three per day( I was taking four per day at the time but was embarrassed) he wrote me a prescription right away . he said many woman have been In My situation Before and I won't be the last. So each month I try to cut back 1-2 pills and I hate asking for another script at each Appt. But when I told him my weaning off plan he said that's a good idea. So I'm 15 weeks today and down to two in the am and 1 in the evening to help me sleep. Even being at three a day I don't sleep well, but I'm motivated for my child to be completely off by month 5-6. I'm going at my own pace because any other way isn't possible. He said there is no known issues with it during pregnancy and if It helps with my pain its worth taking. I hate this and wish I would of never took that first pill two years ago. Its just not worth it but at the same time I feel more normal while on it. I have bad anxiety before I started taking it and with it my anxiety stopped! Its a battle that's for sure.
I have the exact same reaction! I too think I'm allergic. It makes me feel like c**p and keeps
Me up day and night
I've been on tramadol for over 3 years and got to a point where I was taking 16 of them a day. I got pregnant last summer and immediately cut my dose down to 12 a day (that's the most I could handle cutting back on without withdrawals) and my doctor told me we would just start weening me down slowly so it didn't hurt the baby. Well even after 10 months of being pregnant I had managed to get down to 6 a day.... My baby was born almost 4 weeks ago and she is STILL in the NICU due to withdrawals. They put her on morphine when she started showing symptoms 24 hours after being born. They are still weening her off of the morphine, she is now almost done and the doctor said she will be home in a few days.
I am breastfeeding which is making her withdrawals better but I still feel guilty as hell. I also have a 7 year old who I never took any medication with...so I feel like a terrible person for doing this to my new baby. My only advice is get off of the tramadol as quickly and safely as you can before the baby is born BUT if you are still taking it up until delivery, make sure you breast feed!! When the baby is getting the tramadol through your milk it makes them a thousand times better and some babies may not even experience withdrawal if you do this.
It took me almost 5 days to get my milk in and my daughter was miserable up until then, now she is doing great. My plan now is to continue weening slowly once she is home so neither of us experience any bad withdrawals. I wish I had never even started on this drug :-/
I'm 24 weeks pregnant, iv been taking tramadol for two years 3-8 pills a day. Usually two in the am with coffee,then two after noon and sometimes 1-2 more before bed! When I found out I was pregnant I panicked and told my doctor my worries on the effects it could have on baby:( my first Dr kept prescribing me 100 50 mg trams till I was 3 months pregnant( since pregnant I take up to 4 only, which is a lot less then I usually took) I switched drs and this one is more cautious about it. She put me on a weaning plan to go from three a day to two for two weeks then one for two weeks then one every other day to none... I couldn't stick to it,so here I am 24 weeks and taking up to three a day. Yesterday I only took my two morning pills, I was soooo restless last night I couldn't sleep! I'm going to try to only take two today also but even dropping 50 mg is hard. I figure if I can tough it out for a week I'll feel OK at two q day for awhile then one eventually. I also have bad anxiety (trams worked wonders for that) so I got prescribed Zoloft a few days ago to help with the anxiety while cutting down on trams I haven't taken it yet... I think I will when I'm down to one a day. I feel so horrible for being so selfish but the withdrawals are so bad it makes it hard to stop!!! I pray my baby will be OK and withdrawal free if I'm off these by my 8 month
I am 13 weeks and have been on and off since pregnancy but I feel very bad when I don't take them. I suffer with chronic back and neck pains but I still be hurting very badly my doctor has me in their high risk clinic but yet fails to manage my pain level. I have became very open and honest with them and it doesn't help my pain, and the information just going in my chart. I am lost don't want to hurt the baby by no chance but what good of share I'm in for my other kids? I heard that the doctor's never really test the drug tramadol on pregnancy and don't know for sure so they say don't take them. I think u r safe at 2 a day I take 2 a day now coming down from 10 a day.
Im here to tell you if you have severe or moderate pain disorder, and cannot function without SOME type of medication, do not tell your dr. They will FLAG YOUR chart for pain addiction, and you will not be treated properly for pain after that. There are Huge pain med taboos and laws now, you almost have to be careful what you tell anyone.
I'm wondering are your kids still okay?? And hitting all milestones?? I
Hello I don't know if this will work for u but I switched from tramadol to codiene phosphate and weaned off them and did it and trust me it was much easier to wean off the codiene I had no trouble switching so maybe u cud try that I think codiene is less harmful to the baby. I was badly addicted to tramadol and was taking 10 a day whilst 1 month pregnant that's why I switched and it worked .I feel for u and know not ur going thru hope this helps good luck love from Leanne xxxxx
If you aren't already taking it try lyrica to treat the fibromyalgia pain... I'm a sufferer and I take tramadol when needed for breakthrough pain but for the most part lyrica keeps it at bay... If my sister didn't have it she wouldn't be able to function so give it a try
Please dont reply if you have no knowledge of subject
I am sorry to hear that. This is not from Tramadol for it is a genetic disorder
Thank you so much for saying this... we all needed to hear it.!!
Ok look I want to say something I read this thread a lot 3 years ago when I was pregnant cus I was so worried and was taking tramsdol in my pregnancy for everyone who is saying its ok how do you know? Of course withdrawal is very bad for tthe fetus also I want to share my experience I have 3children my middle son is 3 now I took tramadol during my whole pregnancy he was healthy good weight beautiful baby no birth defects everything was so great and I was so relieved to kno this after he was born well things started to take a change I noticed he was behind on many milestones since he was 1 but didn't think much about it well he hits 2 in a half and he's 3 now and he has no vocabulary 0 none and bless his heart he suffers from this he was diagnosed with autism out of my 3 children he's the only one I took tramadol in my pregnancy and he's the only child in my whole family infavt with this problem so its not genetics and if I did everything the same on my other pregnancy exept he's the only one I took this sh*t I strongly believed taking tramadol did this as I kno all of u want to hear good things yes your baby will be healthy and look beautiful but u dont know what that's gna do to them in the long run I feel so ashamed when I see my son struggle I have read other woman saying their children got autism and they took this in their pregnancy how ironic its the ones who's kids are under age 2 who say their was no problems yes their is no study saying how or if tramadol harms the fetus but their is no study stating its harmless either I guess what I want to say is people stop sayin its good and ok to take this very same thread 3 years ago is why I didn't stop and now I have huge guilt everyday wondering if my little boy wldnt be struggling if I didn't take that :(
Also I want to state I am not saying this was forsure the cause but I am very sure also opiate and opiad addiction is very well known to cause developmental delay heard it from 2 doctors and by no means am I bashing it 3 years ago this same thread gave me hope everyone is saying all their kids turned out ok the point is u people need to stop giveing Information on something that has no studies either way let your doctor make the dicision I don't care what anyone thinks also to the person who said autislatert only a genetic thing ur the one who doesn't have their info rite their is no proof and its still unknown what causes autism many doctors will tell u this but their are some factors and opiat and opiad abuse is one of those factors its very easy to research but of course like I also was I only wanted to research what I wanted to hear to make things clear I'm not critisizeing anyone just telling you my
