pain medication

This has probably been addressed, but I am in so much pain I didn't take the time to read all of them. Please help as soon as possible.
Herein lies the problem: I have been on Oxycodone 7.5mg two (2) twice a day for about two months. Prior to that I had been taking two (2) 5mg twice a day. (We were planning a long trip and the medication was increased then). I have been taking 5mg for about 2-3 years.
I also take amitriptylin 50mg at bedtime, 150mg of sertraline mornings, 600mg of Gabapentin three times a day. I have been weaned of clonazepam from 2mg to now .025mg one twice a day.
My pains were severe my doctor perscribed Ambien 5mg one or two at bedtime. This last week I have been taking two because that is the only way I sleep.
Hence the problem. I weaned myself off Oxycodone. The last dosage was Sunday October 25th. This is the tenth day. I had read that the pains would intensify when the medication was stopped. My pains are horrendous, and I did it without the aid or order from my doctor. Later, I read that a physician should guide this withdrawal, and my appointment.
I have made an unscheduled appointment to my pain doc for today. Has anyone ever done this or are you taking some pain pills? I didn't think the medication for neurological pain. Maybe the things I read were wrong. I would rather ask someone who KNOWS this type of pain.
What guys? please help
