A member asked:
I was on methadone until 31 weeks pregnant. i'm no longer taking it, will my baby be ok?

Depends: If your doctor tapered you off the methadone appropriately and under their medical supervision, everything will probably be fine as long as you don't relapse and go through withdrawal episodes. You should stay involved with treatment and follow up with your addiction/psychiatric and obstetric providers as requested.
