Please HELP

I quit cold turkey 5 days ago after using oxycodone HCL 15mg for 3 years and before that lortab 10/500 for 6 1/2 yrs. I made it through the "flu" like stage and now I'm having troubles with feeling weak, dizzy, and faint like. Could anyone tell me when I can expect to feel normal again? In everything I've read about withdrawal symptoms, these are not listed. I have got or gone through everything on the lists I've read but this is freaking me out. I went to urgent care and I'm not dehydrated and my EKG is normal as was my glucose. Any advice to share?

I'm on my lunch break at work and so far I've been able to push through a couple of dizzy spells! It feels so great to be able to get the exercise that I know helps release endorphins that my body so badly needs to get better! I'm taking it hour by hour in case the anxiety gets to be too much as well as the weakness and dizziness. Today I've got more strength than yesterday so one day at a time right?!
