Percocet withdrawal in newborns
Common Questions and Answers about Percocet withdrawal in newborns
percocet
According to the fda, percocet does not seem to cause certain birth defects, however it has been known to cause breathing problems in newborns, and newborns are often born addicted to/dependent on the medication if the mother takes it regularly throughout her pregnancy. Newborns often go through opiate withdrawal in that situation which causes a number of symptoms, which may include seizures and disruption of mother/infant relationship and/or bonding among many other symptoms.
m sure they will be looking for signs of withdrawal and such but if I ask to keep it private, will they discuss matters in front of my family. I do not want them to kno about any of this. My sister will be in the delivery room. Also will they test the meconium & if so, they may find marijuana (I smoked once), will CPS get involved after they see that along with the opiates?
I am 10days off 10-15 P's a day. Man withdrawals really sucked :( Not going to lie and say it was an ounce of easy. Feeling shakes, chills and anxious. I decided to quit on my vacation, as I knew on vacation to a beautiful Island, I would not just sit in a think of the "Hell" i was in....I went out and saw the sights and alcohol helped! Hang in everyone... It is a tough road, but challenge yourself and the proud feeling at the end, is far more rewarding then the quick high.
I only have off from work tomorrow and I have 17 percocet left,is there a way for me to wean off with that little bit in able to go to work.On tuesday?And if at all possible I will need someone to talk to tomorrow because I start feeling withdrawal after a bout 8-10 hrs. without any meds.Also how long will it last?Ive heard people say that the worst part is the first 1-2 days then its manageable but you still feel crappy.
s a different story for most at least. You should go read all the posts on the forums during my withdrawal three years ago.
I was prescribed Percocet for severe muscle spasms in my back. Usually 1 or 2 would nip the spasm before it got too bad. Then I discovered it helped me sleep also! I also found it helped my mood, i.e., made me more talkative to my husband, more interesting. You all know the rest of the story. I am on day 9 without taking any Percs - but I've made a terrible mistake in taking Ambien, Valium or Xanax to help me sleep.
Friday- Which is today (day 3 of absolutely ZERO percs, but day 5 of my withdrawal). I am at work. I am in a daze, I feel dizzy, anxious, kind of sad and have a heavy chest. But, I know, this is only getting better, this will only get better. Less crying, I DO see the light at the end of the tunnel, less watery stool; overall I HAVE HOPE.
This has been the HARDEST thing I have ever done. It takes a massive amount of strength within yourself.
I did try suboxone for 3 years and it worked great but back in October I had a serious injury to my right leg and was in the hospital for 7 days and they said they were going to override the suboxone with massive
amounts of pain meds-and they did. Then they sent me home with a script for percocet-so you see I have been off the drugs and I know how great that was. Suboxone works great but it is hard to come off of.
It is possible that you will have withdrawal symptoms when you quit taking Percocet. Even if it is for short period of time that you take it. Our bodies and minds have long memories. I had been clean for about a year from taking Roxicodone, when I broke my leg and had to have surgery. I had to take pain pills for a little while. I was not taking Roxicodone, but something much milder.
