Bones,
Doing a "self-detox" is difficult. Have you considered the help of a structured program? Suboxone or methadone can also be a gradual weaning, but without the "white-knuckling" you are now going through. In any event, you are going to feel miserable for the first 4-6 days doing it the way you are now, and then gradually feel better and better over the next month or possibly more. You didn't get in trouble overnight and you won't get well overnight either. It is a process and can be painful if done "cold turkey" as you are trying. You should investigate suboxone and methadone treatments. They WORK and will also mitigate the physical pain you've got.
I wish you the best of luck with this.
Kind regards,
