My sister was prescribed methadone for severe sciatica and became pregnant. Her dose was 35 mgs when she got pregnant after birth control failure.She decided to keep the baby and slowly detox, and is now 16 weeks preg and down to 16 mgs. She has a few aches and pains but nothing serious at all, but is under stress. As this med is also for heroin addicts, she’s nervous about how people will treat her, plus really doesn’t have too many people to talk to. Has anyone out there detoxed from this medicine while pregnant?
Uh, yes, she has prenatal care (??), and rather than just ABORT, her and her husband decided that she come off the pain management med for the baby, but since you know so much, you should know that you can’t just quit a medication like that.
DUDE, it’s not ME, and she is on methadone for CHRONIC DEBILITATING BACK PAIN, not for like smack or something. Does anyone read these questions???

Are there any women in nj area who are pregnant and on methadone?
NJ has proposed a law that would take away a woman’s right to slowly STOP taking this powerful medication while pregnant. While stopping methadone is not always best for women with severe heroin addiction, it is the best course for many other pregnant women on methadone who wish to keep their babies from being born addicted or suffering methadone caused complications. It seems the state is trying to protect severe addicts from being forced off methadone, but if this is passed it will mean that the rest of the women on methadone who become pregnant will HAVE to have addicted children! NJ is waiting to hear from people on this issue… does anyone have any comments about this? Would anyone like to share or just state their outrage? I’m trying to fight this….
