help for cold turkey HC

HI all I am coming to you guys because I am on the 36 hr mark of getting off HC. I have been on HC since 05.On average it was 8-10 pills a day sometimes more counting on my mood.I started my days by eating 3-4 of anything i had. I only take xanax when I cant sleep but want nothing to do with them seeing what close friends lost and their aftermath. It F****n sux when i have my mind on something else or even in music i can pick out little snuck in lyrics that to me refer to getting high etccc. I tried to work today and omg i was a slug,i then layed on the floor and powernapped.the knee pain started, then my knees ached until I took a 2 motrin 800s. I had diarrhea 6 times today. I cant stand this bs. I jus woke up from a nap again and i feel better. Wat is the best way to get off this w/o detox($$). anything herbal or household help. all I hear is the back of my brain saying go get pills nothing at all tops these thoughts. help?
