Addicted to Lortab While Pregnant.?
Question by : Addicted to lortab while pregnant.?
I was seeing a different doctor that prescribed these to me, he did not know i was pregnant( nor did i tell him, im only 5 months) My OB found this out and told me I had a problem, I had department of children and familes come to my home and everything. (i also have a 16 month old) They gave me a drug test which i passed. But when my OB confronted me he asked if i had withdrawl, I told him no. Since this has only been going on for the past 3 months. But its been 4-5 days and i do seem to be having some withdrawls, like diarrhea, sleepless nights, muscle spasm.. After the drug test ive even taken half of a .5 mg valium to take the edge off. ( Let me say, i do not like valium they were given to me a very long time ago) I am afraid to admit this because I dont want him to think I am a bad parent, Ive even been lying to my boyfriend about the withdrawls and try to seem as normal as possible. My question is, how long will these symptoms last? Should i keep holding out, or do you think medication is needed to tamper off these things? Ive heard quitting cold turkey can harm the baby. Ive also heard of suboxone? Does anyone have any advice? I cant keep taking half of a .5 mg valium eveyday when my doctor doesnt know… Adivce, Please?

Fatal methadone overdoses soar in Kent County

Does Tramadol Interfere With Methadone?
Question by skyangel6987: Does tramadol interfere with methadone?
contraindications
Thank you in advance for your help. I have researched it extensively (sp?) and I keep finding conflicting info. 🙂
Best answer:
Answer by HelpIzOnTWay
According to Medscape’s handy drug interaction checker…
#1 Tramadol may reinitiate opiate dependence in patients previously addicted to other opiates and may provoke withdrawal symptoms in patients currently addicted to other opiates
#2 Both tramadol and methadone produce sedation and this combo should be avoided
I would avoid the tramadol if at all possible.
I’ve used this website a lot and also been addicted to opiates (as well as tramadol, which is addictive even if not a “true” opiate). Hope this helps. 🙂
