If you've been doing it daily then you'll have some WDs.  That's about the only thing I can tell you.  Maybe they won't be bad.  Try to concentrate your efforts on changing your life so this won't keep happening to you!  It's no way to live!!!

Only taking meds for 2 or 3 months off and on is the classic definition of a slippery slope. That's how I started 15 years ago; that's how most of us start. Don't fool yourself. You are on this forum, so there's still a part of you that knows you need to stop - that this is wrong.
You've been through withdrawals, so you know what to expect. You need to put an immediate effort in to doing away with all of your sources; if you have easy access to pills, the odds are that you will relapse. You also need to get some sort of after care in place. Go to AA, NA, or if there's a family member, loved one you can talk to, do it. This forum is also a good place to be.
So, get rid of all sources and get some after care going, ASAP. I wish you the best...Keep posting.

I agree I need to domeetings but I only been taking them for like 2 to 3 months but off and on

It will probably be the same as before if you took them for a while.  Sorry!  Your brain recognizes that the drug is back and then gone again.  The length of time you took it will affect it though.  If you took six pills for two days you won't have withdrawals.  If you took six a day for six months, it will be exactly the same as it was if you took 18 a day!  The WDs may not be quite as intense but you'll still have them.

The question you need to ask yourself is why you keep doing it and what you can do differently to keep it from happening again?  Did you do meetings or counseling?  Any kind of aftercare?  That makes a huge difference.  I don't think anyone can stay clean for any extended period without some form of support!  

Good luck!: )
