  • If you are in so much pain that you require these narcotics, then the last thing you need is a baby. I think you should be on long term birth control until you are off the drugs!

    I have several chronic pain conditions, thankfully, they didn't start until after I was done having children. These drugs really mess up your body, imagine what they are doing to babies.

  • Kind of wish this report touched upon the number of babies born to mothers on Benzodiazepines (Xanax - Alprazolam, Klonopin - Clonazepam, Ativan - Lorazepam, & Valium - Diazepam) which have a far more protracted & aggitating withdrawal than opiates. DEA stats show over 100 million prescriptions of "benzos" every year in the US, meaning at least 10,000+ babies abruptly cut-off from their mother's benzo upon delivery, yet no one addresses the legal "drug pushers" of these highly addictive drugs.
