This is probably a long shot..but anybody here on suboxone/subutex/or methadone maitenence??
I've been clean for five years now, but ive accomplished that w suboxone. And now that im pregnant I'm trying to get completely off..I'm down to a very low dose and it's getting harder because there is NO formal protocol for getting off of it...the drs are actively discouraging me. I have to do this on my own without much support. (And plz no judgement, you cannot quit a powerful drug like this cold turkey or you will more than likely miscarry. So I need to be careful I do not withdraw). But The thought of my baby withdrawing at birth is very painful to me though and I just don't want that for him. I feel a lot of guilt right now about it, and being an addict in this society carries enough stigma on its own but add in being pregnant and every ignorant fuck w an opinion comes out the woodwork..including so many in the medical field who should be more knowledgable.
Anyways, jw if there are any other ex opiate addicts her, specifically those who use suboxone/subutex or have gotten off completely. I'm a little lost right now!
