What will stop the aggitated thrashing

I'm on day 2 withdrawal from 200mg/day oxy habit.  It's been so much worse than I expected.  Last time I remembered anxiety being the worst part. I have 10mg valium so I'm not anxious at all. This time I am just thrashing back and forth in bed for hours and hours and days and don't know what to do to stop it.  I've been taking the "restful legs" by Highlands but it doesn't seem to be helping at all.  Is there anything that will help? I can't stomach a banana so that's out of the question.  Anything else?

otc pain med and then a hot (really warm) bath, if you have a heating pad use it at night.  The rls can be a torment but it will get better as the days pass.

Hi I am also detoxing and am on day 2. It has been surprizing light even with a 10-12 vicodin/day habit for some years. I can only attribute that to the o-t-c stuff I've been taking during the last 48 hours, advice I got here on this forum. Potassium, magnesium, superp thisilyn and motrin for pain. Maybe something like that will help? Hang in there. You'll make it!
