Oxy withdrawal hell, Day 7, no change

im 22 I got into an accident in April 2011 and herniated 4 discs in my back. got a bunch of injections was prescribed a bunch of crap but eventually i went to harder stuff blues n dope. i would do 3, 4 blues a day or like 5,6 bags of dope. i know this is isnt alot compared to alot of people here and i havent been using for that long either but basically my questions is when can i expect to feel better and what remedies should i take to help with the w/d symptoms. I flew to israel for 2 weeks to visit my sister and brought half a sub with me just to be safe, and i figured i could taper off a little bit i did a quarter one day an 8th the next and then 16th's the next two days. Did i just prolonge my torture? am i rlly only on day 3,4 instead of 7 because of that stupid sub? i feel bad i wanna play with my nephews n nieces but im sick throwing up sweating ******** nonstop cold hot pain RLS all of the above. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Friend,
May not be a consolation right now but good thing you are ending this now, and not when you are 41 instead of 21. Congratulations on being smart!
You are in hell right now but its normal. I know you wan tto play with the nieces and nephews and thre will be time for that, but don't push it right now. You have the FLU. pure and simple, and need time to baby yourself to get better. Stay hydrated, drink ensure or instant breakfast when you can't eat. Hot baths help, or a hot shower if you don't have a tub. WHen you are soaking in the hot water it seems to help the mental symptoms as well as the physical.
After all the physical is gone you will have to deal with the mental stuff like the anxiety and some depression and loss of energy. Just keep riding the wave and keep your eye on the future and you will get through it.
keep us posted,
hugs,
Lily
