I don't know if things have changed but my last pregnancy (12 years ago) I was only allowed to take tylenol :( However I was fortunate enough to have felt much better during pregnancy. The symptoms returned after delivery.

I would definitely talk to you o.b. before continuing any medication.

Good luck,

Bobbi

You might want to consider acupucnture. I use it with an occasional norco and valium when needed and it works pretty good for me. Not sure the norco and valium would work while PG but my pain is done to manageable without meds about 85% of the time.

Gentle hugs...
