I have heard so many rumors about the following, just need some opinions..
I've been taking Roxicodone for about a year and a half now, maybe longer. When I started, it was only while I was at work to pass the time when I was bored, then it, like always, escalated into an addiction. At my worst point, I was taking anywhere from 180 - 300 mg [6 - 10 (30 mg pills)] a day, everyday. I already knew this was bad enough for me and too much money to be spending, then, I found out I was pregnant when I was already 8 weeks and since then, I've tried to stop and it is so hard. I have cut back a lot, trying to take no more than 3 or 4 (30 mg pills) a day. I have a few friends that have the same problem, and also took them throughout pregnancy. I have heard so many things. Everything from "quitting cold turkey isn't safe", "suboxone isn't safe", "continuing to take them isn't safe", "you have to ween yourself down and eventually off". I know I need to stop, for the sake of my baby and myself. I never thought it would ever get worse, then I found out I was pregnant and the only emotion I have is fear. I don't know what to do, and I'm afraid to talk to my doctor, I don't want them to take my baby. What is the safest way to quit? Should I tell my doctor or go to a drug clinic?

I don't know about your state, but in SC as long as YOU are seeking help, they aren't going to take your baby. I have Degenerative Spine Disease, & I take 6 - 30mg roxicodone pills a day also. It is very hard for me bc my husband desperately wants to have another baby, but I'm not sure I can live with the pain. It is an up-hill battle no matter what, but your baby is the most important & if you try to get help thru your OBGYN, they will do what they can to keep the mother with the baby. However, if u do not seek help & your baby is born with roxicodone in its little body, they will take the child away. I will keep u in my thoughts! It never wil hurt to try to get help! It only hurts if you dont!
