8mg is a large dose to just stop from and i feel u need some help with you. Do you have any family or friends nearby that you can ask for help from? Take the immodium for the #2, i had it for a month!!! Take a good multivitamin, potassium, and vit C! Your going to need some down time for this. Technically you are supposed to wean VERY SLOWLY off of the subs to avoid w/d. I didnt do it that way either....Hot epsom salt bathes are a must for the ****** creepy crawly feelings and rest! If you dont mind me asking, how old is your son, can he entertain himself? Of course i know u have to get up to feed him, so i think if any family members or friends owe you a favor, NOW IS THE TIME TO COLLECT! Take 2/3 200mg motrin every 4/6 hrs as it will help a bit. If you really want to be done with the subs there are numerous people on this site that are willing to help. You just let us know how your doing and we will do our best to talk u through it. Im sending ALL my positive energy your way as i know you feel like udder ****!

an occasional percocet may help, but honestly that is a HUGE drop from 8 to nothing.  best not to switch your addiction to another opiate, but i cannot even imagine how much pain you are in.  you really should have got down to just a tiny piece 1 time a day or every other day before stopping, but since you don't get them from a doctor, i understand.  
they say withdrawals won't kill you, but if you need to go to the hospital.
