Best Answer

It is not considered safe to taper off Methadone during a pregnancy due to the possible stress on the fetus. The studies have not conclusively proven that Methadone is toxic to a pregnancy. Any pregnancy that does taper off of Methadone must be done in-patient so that monitoring of the fetus can be performed. Please see the related link below for more information.
