Oxycontin WD - 4th day-helpme

Im barely able to type right now.  I went on a trip to a remote house boat with freinds and discovered what WD really are. I'd been using oOxycontin up to 300 mg a day for about 2 years and while on the trip i thought it would be ok to break my 40 mg pills into 4ths and take them because i was running out with no chance of refill before the trip.  The WD started and the whole 4ths of a pill thing was out the window. They were gone before the first night and my freind had to confine me into a room of the house boat while they said i had seizures, screaming, begging to die, not sleeping in days until i was given Ketamine which is a drug i'd usually abused in the past and was familiar with but i'm not sure if it was a good idea or not becuase while in a K-hole i was able to stop the crazy leg shaking etc, but still felt everything jsut the same ( only being imobilized).  
Made it home, its day 4
my eyes are crazy dialeted still, my mind works but i cant communicate really yet without my voice shaking. i'm trying to eat ( the first night i puked like 30 times) but my stomach HURTS after. My skin is crawling.

I took the oxy in the first place because i have severe rhumetoid arthritis.
what do i do?
can i really ride this out here at home w/ my bf?(who was up for the whole time and is exhausted) - feeling better but thats not really saying much because i feel like HELL.
HELL!

how many days will this go on?
please

im  sure hoping its not cuz ive done alot of K and only cared for 1 overdoser who drank 2 viles stupidly.
i agree it was a stupid idea to take it though.

thank you so much. my plan as a good reminder to myself is a new tat that will tick the years of sobriety up in marks. sounds stupid but sometimes its good to have a big fat reminder in english on your arm FOREVER that reminds you what your goals really are!

the thomas recipe is helping the jitters alot.

i can def. see how this will be a difficult mind thing to overcome. i will count eachday as it passes as i see others do. it really helps actually. helps me feel like im overcoming a huge ladder one day at a time.

WD was tuff but I did it CT with help from this board.
Read my post "Back from 5th Rotator Cuff Surgery" and my previous posts.
Everyday is a victory and believe me you will need somethig down the road to manage pain and if you don't stop now nothing will work when you need it.
Hang in there.

Hey There,

Hang in there!!! I was in the same boat you were in about a year ago. I was taking between 300-400 mg of Oxy's a day for (4) ruptured discs in my back and surgery to repair them, and then my doctor one day decided I was abusing the pills (you think) and stopped prescribing them to me and gave me Clonodine (if i spelled it right) to help with the withdrawals. Well they didn't help and I felt like DEATH for about 4-5 days. Each day after that got a little better. It is a tough road, but your on your way down the road already so just hang in there. It will get better and you will be so happy each day you feel a little better.

Take Care!!!!
