Subutex Or Saboxone During Pregnancy?

I am currently perscribed 20 mg of Saboxone a day. Have been taking it for four months. I Want to have another baby and I am trying to find out if Subutex is safer than Saboxone. My rehab clinic's doctor isnot much help. He suggests talking to OBGYN. They say talk to him. So that's how that went. I know that neither one is reccomended during pregnancy but would rather this than use. Any suggestions?

I was in almost the same situation as you. I had been taking suboxone for several months and then I got pregnant. My doctor who was prescribing the suboxone changed my prescription to the subutex right away. In the United States there is no studies done showing the side effects of suboxone while pregnant so the FDA has not approved it for use, however in other countries there are studies that state it is ok for use during pregnancy when the benefits to the mother outway the risks, etc...subutex has been more studied in the US and is known to be safe for use while pregnant. This is basically how my doctor summed it up to me. I took the subatex throughout my pregnancy as my doctor told me this would be best as withdrawal would be to much stress on the baby. My baby was born with no complications and no withdrawal symptoms,however everyone is different..I hope this helped answer your question.

That information is correct, the Subutex, which just contains Buprenorphine has not been shown to cause any ill effects, however, the Suboxone also contains Naloxone and that combination has not been studied during pregnancy.
