Question About Percocet Withdrawal

Hep,
Congrats on over 22 years of sobriety!!

I am at my wits end, I can't believe how fast my addiction came on. I was in a motorcycle accident 2 1/2 yrs ago my Dr. prescribed me a large bottle of 10/325 percocets for the pain. I was lucky and recovered quickly and was only on them for a couple weeks and the unfinished pills sat in my medicine cabinet for the longest time.
Stupidly, I began to take the percs recreationally around Thanksgiving, I'd take 1 after work and man I felt really GOOD!, I honestly felt like I was a better person when I was on them, I didn't want to yell at the kids and wouldn't argue with my wife, I went from 1 10 mg pill every night to 1 1/2 10 MG pills every night and recently to 2 pills a night, I figured once the pills were gone that would be it and I'd be off them but last week I was called out of town overnight and I left (forgot) my pills at home and I was freaking miserable, I couldn't sleep, was restless and felt like I wanted to hang myself, I was a basket case the next day, I couldn't think clear and it took all I had to keep from losing my temper with a co-worker, I got home on Sunday and the first thing I did was take a pill just so I could function, I was down to my last 5 pills, I flushed them and been spending lots of time online reading how to deal with withdrawal I've been off the pills for 2 days and I still feel like crap, I've only been using/abusing the pills for 2 months and only two 10 MG a night and I can't believe I'm feeling this bad, I really feel for the people who are trying to detox after using OC for years, I've only done them for two months and I'm scared s*itless, I read about taking the OTC anti diarrheal medication Imodium AD to help with withdrawal I took two 2mg Imodiums last night and I have to say it did take the edge off temporarily, but I don't want to stop up my colon in the process, and since Imodium is also an opioid I don't want to become dependent on that either.
Is there anything else I can do to alleviate the withdrawals and depression, I can't believe I got myself into this situation, I quit smoking 3 yrs ago and this is 10 times worse than any nicotine withdrawal, please any advice would be greatly appreciated.
