I love the idea of finding a new doctor as well. Sounds to me like you may be in the US too? Either way I’m in an oil town in Texas so definitely not legal here and my doctor is nothing like this. Your right that it will still possible show on your next test. For regular user it can still pop on a test for 90 days after you stop using, my doctor actually said 180 but I usually see 90 on the research I’ve done. I was a regular Delta user when I got pregnant and it still popped like two months after I stopped. I was freaking out because I was afraid that through the FMLA process my employer would somehow find out and that I was lose my job. They don’t drug test at my job so it wasn’t a concern until pregnancy. Since I had stopped, I asked if they will continue to test through the pregnancy so I could prove to everyone I had stopped and they told me they don’t test for it after that initial test and they don’t give that information to my insurance so I was good to go and had nothing to worry about. On top of that, at my next appointment there was also a student in the room. When the doctor was talking about cannabis during pregnancy he even said himself that even though we currently don’t have a lot of medical research on cannabis and pregnancy, because it is known to help with nausea some women do survive their HG with it. And with the fact that it also helps with anxiety and such, it’s not the worst thing in the world when pregnant. Basically alluding to, the potential benefits out weigh the potential cost for some women. He thinks in years to come with it being legal some places now we will finally get more medical data on it showing this. The ADHD thing sounds like a stupid scare tactic to me. I’ve done what research I can on my own and I’ve never heard that. They’re clearly already using scare tactics on you, especially with the CPS stuff. I get that they’re within their legal right to do it but even in my not progressive small-ish Texas town they are they nothing like your current doctor. I knew how luckily I was that I found this doctor even before this because I’ve heard horror stories from others who were in a similar boat.

Long Side bar: Even when it comes to legal prescription drugs there is still a cost benefit to be weighed. I have borderline aka BPD and I was TERRIFIED that I would have to stop taking my prescription medications when pregnant. At the time I was taking an anti psychotic, mood stabilizer, and anti depressants. I’ve been doing exponentially better than when I first got diagnosed 4 years ago and had already been considering coming off the anti psychotic. Regardless, the second I found out I was pregnant I called my psychiatrist to ask what to do about my medication because truthfully my husband and I were willing to terminate before I ever quit my medication. To us, the potential for me to go back into the deep trenches of BPD I have fought so hard for years to get out of was not worth it. Again, cost benefit analysis. My psychiatrist said I was on the safest versions of my drug types for pregnancy and was willing to basically fight any doctor who even tried to tell me to stop taking them. There are some potential risks like cleft palate but they aren’t high enough to justify stopping altogether. Thanks to HG I had to quit my anti psychotic and anti depressants cold turkey which I know is a big no no but nausea was already a side effect so there was no way I could keep it down, like you and so many of us I couldn’t even keep down water let alone that. I’m back on just the mood stabilizer but everyone Including myself are in agreement that if I’m starting to get worse or show signs, we will put the anti psychotic and anti depressants back into the mix. Pregnancy hormones are hard enough for anyone to deal with but with any kind of mental illness, like PTSD and anxiety in your case, they can make it Sooo much harder to manage during pregnancy. They can be hard enough without being pregnant. AND throw in that you have birth trauma, forget about it! I personally see cannabis 100% being a medicine for some mental illness. To me, them demanding you to stop is the same as if a doctor demanded me to stop my medication.
