Hi~ Okay...to your question: Don't postpone the ultrasound. I guess it's today,Friday?
I'm surprised you were told "no water" for all that time...but just push through to get the test done. Try chewing some gum...
Hope it works out~

As difficult as things may seem right now, you are in the very beginnings of what could possibly land up in situations like mine and many others. Please read other posts and realize the dangers of continuing down this path...I have dealt with many difficult situations in life as a minority growing up in the south, but this is the hardest thing I have ever faced in my life and would not wish it upon anyone....if I had to do it over again, I would have just went through the pain pill withdrawals and continued to live my life. Good Luck and God Bless you.
As far as your question, whenever I am faced with either or situations, I also tend to place my addiction treatment as priority, unless there are life threatening situations elsewhere. From what I have read and experienced, the withdrawals should last 4-5 days and the worst should be over.
welcome to the forum. as for withdrawals it may get worse. mostly we drink alot of water to stay hydrated as wd's give you the runs. if you don't have the runs you might be able to get through it fine. but as with most suggestions I always say tall to your doctor about how you feel as that's what they are there for. considering the amount you were taking is low as compared to most of us. I'm glad you flushed them long term opiates I don't agree with at all. talk to your doctor to get a non opaite pain med. it will benefit you in the long run.
God bless
