Will two norcos reset withdrawals?

I have been on Norco for two years. I was prescribed two 7.5 mg a day. I was abusing them and taking around 80-100 mg a day. I found out I was pregnant and my doctor wrote me a script for one a day for a month and told me to make them last as long as I could. Obviously that wasn't that long because I was abusing them in the first place. It is 2 pm Friday and I haven't had anything since about 6 pm Wednesday. I abused them up until I literally couldn't anymore. My supply ran out, so obviously I don't and can't trust myself. I do very much want this baby to be healthy and have a fighting chance and by some miracle, the doctor says everything looks normal so far. I think I am through the worst of the "flu-like" symptoms as my bathroom habits are returning to normal and I can stomach small amounts of food. I'm experiencing terrible RLS, severe back pain and insomnia and the mental symptoms are growing worse daily. I'm extremely irritable and depressed. I'm taking Buspar that I've had lying around for months because I looked it up and it said it was safe during pregnancy. I contacted a suboxone clinic and they said they will see me Monday which is three days away. I'm considering talking to my primary care physician about some help because as far as I know, she is unaware of my problem and I would have to pay cash for the clinic and I simply can't afford it.

I have found two 10 mg norcos and am wondering if they would "reset" my withdrawals or if they would just give me a little relief until I can get to the clinic or the doctor. Also, what would my doctor likely do if I see her rather than the clinic? I have never attempted to detox or get off this medicine before and I really don't know what I'm doing.

Hi, firstly, tell your doctor that you are an addict. You cannot control your usage, obviously. Do not stop or start any meds while pregnant, your baby feels everything that you feel. See your doctor asap and be brutally honest. Your baby's welfare is at stake.
