Common Questions and Answers about Oxycontin use during pregnancy

oxycontin

Avatar f tn It hard to cope. I know oxycontin is pregnancy category B and Morphine is pregnancy category C but I was curious if it is more likely for neonatal withdrawals form morphine or oxycontin? I think oxycontin has a higher molecular weight and therefore harder time crossing the mom baby barrier. Heard two moms taking 40 mg three times a day had no withdrawals, but didnt know it would be the same for the morphine or not. I am taking 15 mg twice a day of oxcycontin and 40 mg of oxycodone.
Avatar n tn I know of someone who has been addicted to oxycontin for over 2 years. He has been through rehab twice already. He recently told me he got himself off the oxycontin but now sometimes buys 1 or 2 pills on the weekend and does it socially. I'm not stupid, but I do not know anything about oxycontin. Even though I know nothing about this drug, common sense tells me that an addict cannot go back to their drug of choice even socially or this will spark their drug abuse again.
725248 tn?1316162245 Opana is a nice step up from Oxycontin. It is 10x stronger than Oxycontin. If you were to take a 40mg tab of Opana, it would be like taking 60-80 mg of Oxycontin. If your Pain Management Doc recommends it over the Oxycontin then I would suggest trying it. I feel that you'll get better pain relief from it.
Avatar f tn It's a long story, and what I want to find out what the effects on the brain and other organs from long tern use of oxycontin. I can't seem to find any information about this on the internet. My husband had his first neck surgery in 1990 and after that more neck surgery, 2 knee replacements, and a shoulder replacement. He was prescribed oxycontin and has been taking it since then. He is now 70 and I just wonder if some of his problems are old age or from the drugs.
Avatar f tn Hey sweety. I was pregnant recently and I did a LOT of meth and oxycontin during my first trimester of my pregnancy. I then got into a detox/treatment program to get me off. Then during my last trimester of my pregnancy I did a lot of suboxone. My baby boy turned out healthy and perfect. (I don't know about future affects when he's older).

Avatar m tn I know a girl that took at least 30 mg of percocet (oxycontin) a day during her pregnancy (probably more) and her doctor said to expect the baby to be in the nicu for at least 2-3 weeks after birth.
Avatar f tn We are all responsible for our own drug use. You cannot make him use, any more than he can make you stop using. Don't let someone use you as an excuse for his own problems. There are meds that blunt withdrawal a bit, but it is still a miserable experience. But as I have said many times, the hard part isn't withdrawal; the hard part is staying clean for years after the withdrawal is over.
Avatar f tn Using cocaine during pregnancy also greatly increases the risk for placenta abruption which can cause miscarriage, hemorrhage and even death of the mother
Avatar f tn Does oxycontin as recreational use exhibit symptoms of indifference and apathy and unconcern over everyday obligations and responsibilities which prior to use were contradictory to the persons character. In other words a complete change of personally untecogisable by loved ones?
Avatar f tn Hi Everyone, I was just wondering if Norco, 10-325 is easier to withdraw from than Oxycontin 80mg. My friend was taking 2 oxycontin 80mg a day and told her doctor ( they were not prescribed) and she told the doctor that the only thing stopping her from quitting oxycontin was the horrible withdrawals. He put her on Norco and told her to wean down with those, and that going cold turkey off Norcos ( once she's weaned down to 5 a day) is easier than w/d from oxycontin.
Avatar f tn s, set up a home taper plan or go into detox nest you need a relaspe prevention plan, some type of recovery program even if you get clean, and stay clean during your pregnancy, without a recovery program you will probably relaspe, and your baby will have a parent on oc's, and i will be the first to tell you, 3 10mg oc's is like doing 3 caps of herion a day, its a big high i wish my kids have never seen me take pills, its one thing that i regret out of my active addiction, i do not wish y
