What can i do to make detoxing from painkillers easier . is there any over-the-counter meds that i can use to help with withdrawal symptoms?

See a doctor: First of all congratulations for making the first step of recognizing you have a problem and wanting to do something about it. As far as withdrawal, it really depends on specifically what and how much you have been using. It is better to taper rather than going cold turkey. A doctor can also help you get connected to a support system so you can stay off. Keep up the good work.
