The important thing is to try and keep a cool head. Kicking opiates creates some panic along with the physical symptoms. I experienced some mind-blowing and evil hallucinations. Just remember that your "beast brain" (the primitive part of the brain) is going to beg for more. Don't give in to it. The beast brain is as dumb as a dog's brain. YOU WILL NOT DIE FROM THESE WITHDRAWALS. Yes, it will suck major ding dongs but you will not die from it.
Try to stay hydrated with some gatorade. If you have diahrrea then take some immodium.
You need to try and eat something. I know it sounds terrible but get some crackers or something with more substance(but bland) to put in your gut. If you absolutely can't keep anything down then try to talk to the doctor about getting some Phenargan suppositories....that'll cool your stomach off so you can eat something. Go buy(or have someone go buy) some Ensure shakes. These are like milkshakes for old people. There are lots of vitamins in there.
If you smoke, buy a carton or two.
If you are serious about this and you want to just go ahead and get it over with (the only way I could do it) then you'll need some help. If you don't want to do detox/rehab then call your local NA group. Maybe one of the opiate addicts who has kicked can help you through it. With cold turkey the worst is over in 3 days. Tapering takes longer, is still painful, but is not quite as intense.
YOU CAN DO THIS.
Please keep us posted and every day post how many pills you ate the day before.
Many are here to help.
godspeed
