am scared, suboxone detox

Ive been on suboxone for 2 years, 24mg's a day, 75 8mg's pills a month. I always ran out on day 18, due to my abusen them. For goin on 6-12 months, ive been taken 30-40 mg's a day. My insurance refills on day 20, so i would buy 2 8mg's with cash to hold me over. I have stopped cold turkey, and im not goin back to the doctor, my addictive mind set will just get the 75 pills again. I have not tapered down at all. My last dose was 3 days ago, 32 mg's. The withdrawal is something worse than heroin, pain pills, or any drug. I cant even walk ten feet with out blacking out, my skin is on fire, my bones burn, what do i do, and how much longer will this last? Am i in danger?

I did go to the er 2 days ago, all they gave me was gabapentin. It helps somewhat, but my body is feeling like its going crazy with feelings, physical feelings, that i cant even put into words. I got some xanax from the street, but that only helped for 4 hours or so. I just want to get to day 17, when i get my daughter back. I cant be a father feeling this way, its day 12, so pray for me,

Please think of Kloe.  Get yourself to a doctor that will help you.  Maybe a different ER.  You aren't thinking clearly with all that's going on.  It seems like you're afraid of dying but at the same time you're afraid to get help.   You don't deserve to go through this.  You don't need to be going through this.  There is help for you.

You mentioned a babysitter in your post.  Who's with you?  

There are so many things going on in your body and from your history, you simply can't do this alone.    The people on this site know what they're talking about.  Listen to them.  They're afraid for you.  I'm afraid for you.

Maybe this will help you, my father, who i barely speak to anymore, e-mailed me this, saying, "every hallucination, is a gift from God, every feeling of pain, a gift from God, every thought of guilt, a gift from God, every emotion, a gift from God. I should be dead, i shouldnt be allowed to walk this earth after the sins ive committed, but i can, and i am, because it is a gift from God."

I wanted to drop an update for all those whove stuck by me these past 11 days. My mania is starting to subside, but the physical symptoms are still dibilitating. Im hollow, empty, void, like an empty shell that only feels the pain, tension and anxiety. My babysitter cant even sit in the same bed as me, due to the kicks, or RLS. The ER wouldnt give me anything for anxiety, their reasoning is logical, saying their just as addictive. Im gonna have to wait for my Klonopin refill. Im starting to lose hope in there being a light at the end of this hellish tunnel. 11 days, still in agony.
