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

Your right, sub is definitely not an option, you way past that. Besides the fact that nine out of ten Drs don't have any idea about what the F they're doing. Lots of cash$$ for the greedy bastards. Your doing great Mego, I am glad to see it's getting better every day for you.

thanks worried - thats exactly what i was thinking! i'm pretty sure u take sub if u give up the 1st week... now that i'm 2 week i'm not givin up! i passed that POINT ALONG TIME AGO! **** the 5th day woulda been a give up!
i've been in hell for 2 week ( i'll never forget it ) theres no way on this earth i want to EVER feel like this again - NEVER
even after 2 weeks i feel crappy - but 10000 time better than yesturday or the day b4 -

one day at a time - i have a few freinds who are x-heroin addicts and they even said after a month they were bak to some kind of normal - and they are older now and better and i look up to them for the strength to stay clean -
never going back
i'd rather feel generally yuky than all **** all the time and being addicted to oxy!
NOOO!

Mego is 10 or more days clean...why on earth would u tell someone to get on sub right now? she is trying to stop taking narcotics and has done so...why would she want to start taking a more powerful narcotic than she was on all this time?  I reallly am glad mego is educated enuf not to take heed to ur post...sub may be great for u if u r not ready to be off of drugs//sub is good for those who have tried very hard to quit and just can not without a maintenence drug/narcotic like sub or methadone..these r needed for some//people at high doses of a drug or a strong drug like heroin..but have even seen them CT with success...sub/unless u stay on it for life/will have wds that last al long time like methadone when u decide to get off of it..why would she want to get back on the merry go round when she has made it thus far....working on urself keeps u clean..not sub...sub can help u stay off the streets while u do the work...and can help u skip wds from ur old doc...but sub becomes a new doc for people if they are not careful...be sure u know ur addictionology before recommending things to people that can get them into deep doo doo
