Hi Heather!

Congrats on the pregnancy!!!
I should be a grandpa again either tonight or tomorrow, cant hardly wait lol.

First I want to say everyone has given you some very good advice, and I proudly vouch for them

Now, on Jan 1st of this year I lost my doctor, and that meant no more pain meds. I went cold turkey off of all my meds, the very same ones your talking about except the patch. Well during the withdrawals I read everything I could find, joined 4 forums on addiction, and emailed my old doctor friend about 40 11 times.

Dont just stop the meds, it can stress the baby worse than staying on the meds full term, and that is not good. It is better to taper down on the meds. Dont worry about the bad scenarios. Vic is dead on in his advice there, we were made, even in the first stages of life to be able to handle some diversity. Dont panic, just start tapering down a little bit every 3 days or so, and go to any doctor soon as you can get in.

I know everything will be fine, really.
