need suggestions

Here is my problem. I have been taking roxicodone for 2 years. I quit for 2 months but i had a friend with methodone to help. then when i started a new job i started taking them again. Mainly because i have horrible hip pain, and major anxiety. these pills help majorly with both problems. My problem is that since i don't have health insurance i have no way to see any doctors. I am very tired of taking this drug. I hate that it takes all my money and having to worry about where i'm going to get it next or if i can find any. I take 60 to 90mg a day. Since i don't have a doctor i can't get help from him. I would like to know what will help me with withdrawl symptoms. I can no longer afford my habit anymore. I really need to quit but i am scared of withdrawls. Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks for listening.

I have a suggestion.  With the money you're paying for the pills,you could see a doctor.
You don't need insurance for that.  

Get a check up,talk about this issue and ask for advice.

For withdrawal symptoms,it's all about time. It gets better. Keep yourself hydrated,eat well,( not snack stuff/carbs ) get some Immodium and just keep moving forward. Exercise will help tremedously.  Hot baths are your best friend.

Keep posting!
