im 5 weeks pregnant im on xanex soma and oxycodone i was wondering if i could ween off xanex quickly and it not affect the baby and also switch to methadone im not sure what somas do but i heard you cant take xanex during your first trimester i am just wondering if i have to get an abortion or not i am also on lamictal and was wondering if that was approved for use during pregnancy
Hi. Yes, speak to a gynecologist and the doctor who prescribed you the Xanax at the earliest and wean off it, and hopefully you will not need an abortion. As for capital, clearly getting off it increases the risk for epileptics with again can increase the risk for congenital malformations in your child. So I think it would be best to speak to your prescribing doctor who would monitor you throughout your pregnancy if he/she chooses to continue with the capital through your pregnancy, but it is teratogenic ma'am. Best wishes.
