Is It Safe To Take Effexor And Hydrocodone During Pregnancy?
Hi, i just found out that i a 9 weeks pregnant. I have been taking effexor 75mg and hydrocodone 7.5 mg for 8 months. My primary doctor told me that i need to quick taking both medications until I get into see an ob. but that isnt for another month. Im scared of the withdrawl symptoms especially since I have a 1yr that Im home with all day everyday. Do you have any suggestions on what to do for the next month until I can get in to see my ob?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Both the medicines are best if avoided during pregnancy. You need to tell your prescribing doctor that you are pregnant and look for better alternatives.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
