Oh my ladies i cant tell you how much I appreciate your responses!!! Things really havnt settled down yet Im in the process of packing up my house now and im moving this weekend. I have managed to stay off the cigarettes, i think its been 7 or 8 days. It sucks but I feel proud of myself for providing a smoke free enviornment for my not-yet-born child. As far as the subs i have been so conflicted. My mom the nurse who besides going to Naranon knows nothing of what it feeels like to be an addict, thinks the "right" thing to do is to go off completley for the baby. While I was trying to go with out she said things like she was so proud i was going thru the w/drawal so my baby wouldnt have to. WOW!! talk about the guilt!! I have been emailing my sub dr and i just had an appointment with him and honestly i think hes great but leaving the decision to me. he said hes never heard of someone losing a baby going off 2 mgs of subutex. he keeps saying my w/drawal wont last long and i will get thru it, however, if im really uncomfortable, to keep in mind its not fatal for the baby to be born on the sub. AAAgh!!! I know there are risks and benefits to both decisions. So anyway, i havnt decided exactly what to do. i dont have a new dr yet to where im moving so my dr gave me 2 months worth but i think once im setteled at my moms i may try to cut down to 1 mg. until then i decided to stay at 2 mgs so that w/drawal is not something im worrying about at this moment. i just want desperatley for everything to be ok. thanks again for the responses its very comforting and i have really been considering the advise. I will be updating my situation soon.
