Can a pregnant woman safely take methadone?

This isn't an easy question to answer. I do know that there are pregnant women who attend the local methadone clinic, however, it can and does cause addiction in the newborn. It all depends if the benefits outweigh the risks. It is important to discuss this with a doctor. I agree that there are pregnant women who attend a methadone clinic and are able to have a healthy baby. I myself know several of them. However, their baby stays in the hospital while they wean it off of the methadone (again, this applies to the women I know that were pregnant on the clinic... not all women who have a baby while on methadone will have to leave their baby at the hospital for weeks at a time for the baby to be withdrawn safely under medical supervision). So, therefore, I would advise anyone who is pregnant to speak to their personal doctor about the risks and benefits of taking methadone while pregnant. I do, however, think that it is better for a pregnant woman to be on methadone instead of a cocktail of drugs that could really endanger (or worse) the unborn child.


Does methadone prevent getting pregant?

No. The best way to prevent pregnancy is to abstain. Other than that, only medically approved safe sex drugs and / or devices are proven to prevent pregnancy. Now if you're TRYING to get pregnant while you're on methadone, you'll be pleased to know methadone doesn't increase the risk of congenital birth defects.

How safe is 1000 mg of depakote for 27 year old women who is planning to get pregnant?

No it is not safe at all. ASK YOUR DOCTOR TO SEE WHAT CAN YOU TAKE WHILE PREGNANT OR TRYING TO GET PREGNANT. I was prescribed Keppra and was fine with it I agree completely. My husband and I saw a specialist to ask about medications while trying to get pregnant and he suggested that Keppra was a good choice; while there are MANY studies that show a huge risk for women taking Depakote during pregnancy and conception.
