Slider-- Here's what I know from my own detoxing off of opiates. First, I urge you to see a Dr. and get medical help, either detox or other meds. The process is uncomfortable at best, dangerous at worst. Expect flu-like symptoms-- fever, muscle aches, etc. Plus insomnia, diahreah, runny nose, etc. Hot baths and Ibuprophen help. Depending on how much you took and for how long, the detox can last from 3 to 10 days.
The first thing is getting off the pills, then I urge you to create a plan for recovery. I tried and failed too many times before I realized that I cannot do this alone. Now I go to meetings, I have a sponsor and I work the steps. What is your plan for recovery?
Hang in there, Slider. You are not alone!
