Yes, it will get better.  If you read my recent post to whitewildcat, you will learn a little of my story and that I gave up oxys 65 days ago.
You are going thru the worst of it now and tomorrow will probably be bad too, but once you reach day 5 it will start getting a little better and by day 7 you will be glad you suffered through the withdrawals.
Anyway, this is what I used:
Immodium (for diahreah)
Pepto Bismol caps (for upset stomach)
Arthritis Tylenol (for pain)
Aspercream (rubbed on my legs, it seemed to help)
Tylenol PM (to sleep) but your sleep will probably not get back to normal for a while.
Vaseline (for sore bottom)
Slimfast Optima Chocolate Royale (ice cold over ice) for energy and vitamins
I know there's some other things but I can't remember them right now.
There's something for Restless Legs over the counter, but I can't remember the name and I didn't use it anyway.
Feel free to ask me if you have any questions.  You've come to the right place.  This is a great forum!
Good luck,

Thank you both so much for responding, I will be trying everything and anything at this point. I cant wait, I hope I someday can say I have that many days c/t.  Bowhunter- I have no one to talk to, my family lives back east, just me and my daughter and I dont want her to know anything. I have been thinking about moving back home, I havent been here very long and I am more home sick than I though I would be. You hunt here? Do you live here? I dont know if i can make it 1 more day let alone as long as you two have!!

I was the same way.  I split from my husband and my kids are in college.  All I have is a kitty and he's no help.
Stay with this forum and you will make lots of friends.  That's what helped me.  I couldn't have done it, I don't think, if I hadn't of had the support and encouragement of this group.  And we want you to succeed so you have come to the right place.  Also if you want to email me, my new email is ***@****
I will help you in any way that I can.
