opiate withdrawl question

Hello... I have a couple questions about opiate withdrawal.

I guess I was probably never a heavy user... some of my friends take 30-40 pills a day. I have used hydrocodone/perc (7-10) or the like for a little over 2 years, but only for the last year was I using it regularly. For me regular would be about 3 a day or so, and 2-3times I quit for about a week at a time. The symptoms lasted only about 1-2days.. so it was no biggy. Anyways.. over the last stretch I didn't quit for a while and probably averaged around 5-6 a day. The 5 days before I decided I needed to stop frequent use I used about 20 or so each day.

So I brought myself to quit... I have pretty strong will? so I just dropped it cold turkey pretty much (Did the same to quit smoking). It was very tempting this time around though.. and the systems were much much worse.

NOW for my question.

It has been 8-9 days since I have completely stopped. The aches went away a day or 2 ago, but I still feel fatigue (Which I am not even sure is withdrawl because I have something going on with my stomach)

Anyways

What I want to know is this... I have a pounding headache (which is what I started taking them for in 1st place). I want to take care of this before it turns into a full blown migrain (horrible for anyone that has experienced as I have often)

If I take 1-2 pills will I have to go through withdrawl all over again ?

I just want to make sure it doesn't set me back, because the last week or so is something I am going to do my best to avoid again.

Thanks..

P.S.

I assume a lot of people might assume if I take them today I go back to addicted again... which happen before (somewhat)... but it won't happen.

I just want the question if it will negate the last week, and make me have to do it all over again thats all..


Thanks much
