I would say that you will be feeling better in a day or two. It takes about a week or little longer to overcome the physical withdrawal after long term use. Have you used a heating pad and hot baths? Or try to take some tylenol and advil, alternating. I know it's not much, but it beats the opiates and WD that comes with them if you start taking them again. I know that you want the "pain free" time, but you will never get it on your own if you keep taking something, right?
Good luck! Posting here will get you a lot of help and support!!!

Hi behumble I have good news and bad news. First the good news . It will get better each day you dont use. I took vics oxy hydro whatever I could for 8 years . I was taking 100 mgs a day when I stopped. The first time I went through wds it took about 5 days of not using before I starting believing that I would make it. I used a few pills after 2 weeks and went right back into wds again. Thats the bad news you are not on day 8 of withdrawal . You are on day 1 because you used yesterday. Don't pick up again and you will feel better very soon. !! post and go to a N.A meeting if you can.
