Resolved Question: iM ON SUBUTEX AND ALSO TAKE .5 MG AF KLONOPINS OCCASIONALLY WHILE PREGNANT HAS ANYONE DONE THIS SAFELY?

Open Question: I took 3 8 mg subutex on a sunday, 2 on moday then stopped. I am scheduled for an angiogram in 9 days-am I ok?

My worry is that the subutex I took about 10 days ago will block the very important Fentanyl they will use to make me comfortable during the angioplasty I am scheduled for June 6 2009. Don't want to tell the doc, should I be ok? Please help!

Open Question: Can any doctor prescribe subutex?

I know with suboxone only specially certified doctors can prescribe it. I was wondering if it was the dsme for subutex. Also are any other drugs besides subutex and suboxone that help with opiate dependency?

Resolved Question: Methadone versus Oxycontin?

Methadone tablets come in 5mg and 10mg. Oxycontin come in 10mg, 20mg, 40mg, and 80mg. My question is, what is more powerful, Methadone or Oxycontin? The highest dose of Oxycontin I've ever been on is 40mg. My brother may be going on Subutex or Methadone. I am simply curious which one is stronger than the other. Can someone help me with this?

Hey all mommies & mommies 2 be! I hope all is doing great this can be a scary time on it's own let alone when you have the addiction problems on top of it the way we do! I have been fighting opiate addiction for about 7 years now and still at time feel that this will be the death of me. I was on pain pills with my last pregnancy and during my 7th month I was addmitted on the labor & delivery floor for 2 weeks and they put me on methadone, they wanted me on it during delivery and I told them NO, that was the whole reason I wanted to be clean so my son would not have to go through that!! So I took my last pill and my son was born EXACTLY 30 days later at 35 weeks and was PERFECT!! Stayed clean for a while, then relapsed went on methadone for 2 years switched to Suboxone been on that since February and I am now 7 weeks pregnant and my doctor is taking me off of it eventhough my ob says to go SLOW, I have gone from 3 pills (24mil) to 1 sometimes 2 a day now yesterday my dr gave me 10 pills and told me to taper myself!! IS HE CRAZY??? he said he can't be responsible if something is wrong with my baby, but I think it is MORE dangerous to do it this way! IS THIS SAFE OR SHOULD I BE GOING SLOWER??
