SUBJECT: Just cold-turkeyed med's to ensure safe pregnancy HELP
I tapered off over about 12 days Lithium, Klonopin, and Paxil. I am still taking Xanax, Darvocet, and Vicodin as sparingly as possible because I am not sure if any doctor will prescribe me any more if/when I get pregnant. I have been off the birth control a little over two weeks and have already had a period (though very light).
My Mother had a reversal and had three more kids when I was 16 on....she was told by doctor's and read up on it...anyways she took Vicodin thru three pragnancies and my three healthy, ENERGETIC, little brothers seem to be fine. Of course she cut back and took them as little as possible....Have you ever taken Darvocet? It is supposed to be worse than Vicodin. I think I'll have to stop the Xanax once I"m preggers but the pain right now is indescribable, I'm not sleeping at night...... I am suffering from daily panic attacks and my mood has quickly spiraled down to suicidal.
Does anyone know of any med's you can take? I am going to see a OB/GYN ASAP but right now am just trying to make it day by day.
