My daughter, age 22 and former heroin addict, gave birth about 2 months ago to a healthy baby girl.
Given her history and my need to know, I did some minor investigative work as it relates to heroin and pregnancy. Here's what I concluded:
Heroin addicts tend to use other substances, tobacco, alcohol and cocaine.
Heroin addicts tend to be poorly nourished.
A baby born to an active heroin addict will demonstrate symptoms of withdrawal, shortly after birth. The severity of withdrawal depends on how long and how much the mother was using.
Abrupt cessation of heroin is thought to be harmful to a fetus.
Methadone treatment during pregnancy is controversial.
There are worse addictions.
Studies are inconclusive.
Sounds like she needs to see an MD who has the knowledge to minimally evaluate the risks and benefits associated with continuing Seroquel and all the rest.
My heart goes out to you.
