opiate withdrawal

I am new to this forum or really any forum.
I have been addicted to opiates most of my adult life. Everytime I quit it gets harder and harder.
This time is terrible. I am a american but I am living in a crazy south american country. I came into a little money not much but enough to fly in a specialist in addictions to see me. I know its crazy but I have a 3 year old dog that I do not trust with anyone here so I will not admit my self to a hospital.
Ok I was taking aroing 1000 mg of ethyl-morphine per day. They say its just like codine but thats bull its much stronger. First the doctor put me on 2 .150 cattapres per day, with imodiom, I am also taking dyseryl for sleep.
He also put me on something called Topamax which is used in hiher doses for anti-serusers but in low doses susspose to control cravings and of couse some valium..
Well This is the 7 day and I still feel like ****. I am sleeping so much, no energy I stoped the cattapress and the valium still use the durseyl  for sleep and taking a ssri Celixia.
My question is how much longer will I feel like ****. In the past it only took a few days and I was fine but this time its really bad.
Thanks for your time.
Sory for the missspelling but its all I can do is to type this one.
John

That is some heavy duty meds you were on so I can still see how you are not feeling great at 7 days .Give it alittle longer it will get better .I would let your body sleep if it can then.in a few days start getting out and walking ypur dog a few times a day it really will help .try to eat healthy .I totally understand how you feel about your dog mine is a year and a half I hate leaving him even for a day.

as a rule each tinme u relapse ur use gets higher...for some it is easier to quit cos they know the ropes....perhaps not the case for u...it sounds as if u have no aftercare available to u either..and i know dogs can be like humans to people...but even people r not worth this..cos u r losing urself and in the process u will lose ur dog too if sumpin doesnt change
