Help with painkiller withdrawal

Hello kind people. On May the 4th I broke my nose. I was at a barcade and got the highscore on Joust and in my attempt to celebrate I forgot I was standing with my legs crossed and I slammed my face into the concrete floor. Since then I have been on a steady stream of painkillers both hydrocodone and oxycodone. I have one more script to pick up but after stopping use yesterday I feel like I'm definitely experiencing opiate withdrawal. I'm nauseous, anxious, no appetite, tremors in my hands, and my foot feels numb. I'm a recovering alcoholic and I do NOT want to get addicted to this. So with my last script could someone provide some advice for weening myself off? I'm not sure how many pills I will get but I'm guessing between 9-12. Any and all advice is welcome. Thank you!

Update: Thank you for all the responses! I decided to go to the ER and the doc prescribed Clonidine to manage symptoms. He also recommended I ween off the pk's then switch to Clonidine so that's my plan for now. Thank you again everyone I have a path forward now!
