Hydromorphone/oxycontin withdrawal

I went home for a little over a month began having my ole migraines again and found my old prescriptions for hydromorphone and oxycontin. With the combo of theoriginal headaches and  my mother facing a brain tumor i found myself needing them to just get away from it all slowly but surely in this months span I took almost all of the pills about three bottles. And than when I couldn't sleep I took ambien. I left my house to go back to the state I'm living at to attend college and I've been off all of this for 4-5 days. The withdrawal started on the 10hour drive back with severe leg and back pain. The first two nights the pain would not allow me to lay down. Thank the Lord the pain in my joints has subsided. I don't eat or sleep much. What's really torcherous is the heartburn/acid reflux I am having and I feel like I have a baseball sized knot in my stomach I can finally pass a bowel as of yesterday. Dry mouth etc... I'm mainly worried about the heartburn/knot has anyone heard of that in this withdrawal?? I believe I can do this with the help of the Lord. I'm so fearful to the point now that I won't touch an opiod again. Any tips? This sounds crazy I know but I read on a forum that adderall can help ease the withdrawal?? I was kind of shocked. Any truth to that?

Never got a response on my last q but it seems with the gas x I'm doing much better. Is it normal to have a day where my bones begin to hurt again? It's pretty random

Does anyone know how long this stomach bloating/ constipation lasts for? I'm starting to really worry and it's really really irratating. Happens especially after I eat. I took gas x last night and some laxatives. It helped a little and I was able to use the restroom but here I am this morning and my stomach is still acting up with air.

I bet it will help.  Try something mild like Phillips or something first though.  I don't want you taking something that will give you awful cramps!

of maybe gas x or something will work for my stomach or maybe some kind of laxative for the air build up. I wonder if that might work.
