Welcome to SR, StagebearNJ. Glad you're here.
No, unfortunately, the worst is not over. The first 3-7 days are the worst and then expect depression and insomnia for several weeks to several months after that. Ibuprophen, hot baths and exercise awill help a lot. You may feel like you have the flu plus a runny nose, muscle aches, restless legs, diahreah, run hot and cold, trouble sleeping and such. Keep close to good medical advice and you may find info on PAWS (post acute withdrawal symptoms) helpful. You can look here on SR or do a Google search.
The withdrawal is the first part. Do you have a program of recovery? That's what made the difference for me between stopping and STAYING stopped.
Hang in there. We're pulling for you!
