Hi @all,
I’m 35 weeks pregnant with my first baby, and looking for reports and experiences from other moms who had a baby on a low dose of buprenorphine (< 0.2 mg per day). I did a lot of research, checked the available literature, but wasn’t able to find any study that included mothers who took less than 0.4 mg per day. The usual dose range seemed to be high dose buprenorphine between 4 and 24 mg. In this range NAS seems to be not dependent on dose, but I have serious doubt that this also holds true for doses in the microgram range. Given that the baby receives less than 10% of the maternal dose, my daughter should get less than 5-10 ug per day, I’m on 0.05 – 0.1 mg per day (about one quarter to a half of a Temgesic 0.2 mg tablet).
So please, tell me about your experiences! Did your baby have NAS, did it need medication? For how long?
Cheers
