I am really embarrassed and ashamed. I am 22 weeks pregnant and have been off and on these in the beginning and now addicted. I take about 6/1000s a day. Its hard to wean off and want to get off cold turkey but I am afraid of my baby dying. Please let me know what you advise. I feel so helpless to the addiction and don't know what to do because my body hurts when off for one day eve and hard to sleep, I'm worried about my babys effects inside, I don't want to lose her...
Thank you very much!!

You need to go see your doctor and discuss this with him/her.

I want to add, if you think YOU are having a hard time weaning yourself from these drugs, imagine your poor helpless baby! She will have to be born and go through all the withdrawals on her own because you were too weak to do it and help her now. Not to mention what kind of life altering affects these drugs have had on her brain function and her internal organs.
