can't stop abortives

I have had MOH for 2 years and have tried to detox from my abortives many times. Every time I do I end up in the ER and ultimately end up giving up. The longest I ever lasted was 5 days. Generally I take abortives daily and am in agony if I don't. I don't know what to do. Yes I have tried bridge therapy and yes I am on a preventative (5 preventatives actually including Botox). I've even gone inpatient 3 times in the past year. Nothing works and I still am in unbearable agony every time I try to discontinue abortives. I don't understand how other people do it. Part of the problem is I am suicidally depressed if I go even 48 hours without leaving the house, so I need the pain managed enough that I can actually function and do things and not have to stay home in sensory deprivation as that would result in a different kind of crisis and psych ward stay. I don't know how people cope with that either.
