Hello, Since you can not quit SUBOXONE cold turkey for fear of getting withdrawl symptoms,the best would be to switch to a drug called as SUBUTEX. SUBUTEX is much safer as compared to SUBOXONE because SUBOXONE contains NALOXONE( this is absent in SUBUTEX ),which is harmful for the pregnancy. Thanks
