Any quick tips for coping w/ withdrawal from opiates?

I am going through some pretty severe withdrawals from opiates (norco, vicodin, etc.) and am hoping that someone out there has "at home" tips for me.  I already take Xanax occasionally and suspect that I will need to take it more often to cope, but is there any at home remedies for detox?  I have two boys to take care of so I can't stay in bed all day, you know?  Please help!

I am so glad to hear someone else is in my position. I have two young children as well and unfortunately that has been here to work so hard doesn't feel like he can help much. I'm on day 5 if it detects a taper down from 600 milligrams of long acting morphine toand was also taking 10 325 milligrams of purchase that up to eight times a day. This is been going on for five years with a break in between two years and four years before that. I've wanted to go out for a long time but then scared of the horrible withdrawals. I finally found someone that would help me taper down after I do my doctor went out of business. It was a wake up call for me to change my life and Here I am. You know so narcotics off any kind For 5 days now. I have triedusing xanax slightly but I'm afraid I have another rejection although I've never liked anything that made me tired. Like you said it gave me energy and I have chronic fatigue syndrome. That's what kept me going.
I have no idea what I was in store for as far as that with jobs. & I got down to 15 milligrams of morphine short-acting and that's it has been a child with you not that bad. This Thursday let's have a draft of all of the skin I'm right outside and inside of my legs as well as outside of my arms to the point where I have abrasions and broken blood vessels and having internet and bad I've had mood swings and depression and suicidal thoughts. And worst part is how tired I am trying to take care of my children. Like a lady during that trashy. I was able to go to my parents house that have that because kids should never seen it. Like that.I thought it would only take 5 days to withdraw and now I hear it could be 12 days for the physical symptoms to remain or even months. I've been on it for so long I'm guessing that it will be Monday. I will I be so depressed and tired and yawning for the next to mine? I just can't handle that with two kids and a family to take care of. Evelyn's here with special needs kids you depend on me also. I just don't know if I can do it. And I'm tired of feeling this way I need help is anyone out there
