If you're able to a bath I would recommend you do this every night before bed it will help stop the sensation of worms crawling under your skin. Take two calcium and magnesium supplements before bed. This will also stop the sensations you feel.
the drugs are coming out of your body and that's why you're going through so many different physical problems. it will probably take another week or ten days before you start to feel better.

I had some of the same feelings just taking Oxycontin a short time for kidney stone. Like someone else said....hang in there. This too shall pass.

Yes you are having withdrawals. My boyfriend went through a similar situation when he had surgery on his shoulder. It’s a narcotic, therefore you withdrawal from even the tiniest doses. If the doctor only gave you four pills, then you should be fine. But if you wind up having to take more for you back pains, you will periodically have to go through “detox” states with nothing to help the pain, but its so your body doesn’t become too addicted. It really sucks.

Call your doctor for expert advise. If he is not available due to the Easter Holiday, then call your local pharmacy or hospital. The hospital usually has a person on staff 24 hours a day to ask questions like these. In my town the hospital program that you all and ask for is "Ask a Nurse."
Hope this helps & get better soon! :)
