Do you want to quit or are you just waiting for a new Dr. to get more?  It's tough to tell what you're looking for here.

If you don't have any underlining health issues such heart problem, diabetes and the like- withdrawals will not be life threatening just very uncomfortable.  It takes 4-5 days to get over the acute stage and at that point you will start feeling better.  Sleep and energy take longer and the time it takes depends on length of use and size of your addiction.  If you give us a little more information we can be a little more specific.

For body aches and RLS- hot baths, heating pads and Hylands restless legs (found at Walmart),  Check out the Thomas recipe on the side for other tips.  Start taking a good multivitamin, B12, Ca/Mb/Zn complex, exercise to get energy back sooner.
