Scared- really need support! please!

Hey all, I'm so glad I have this board.  I have decided to jump off oxycodone tomorrow and am terrified.  I figure I'm around  100 mgs to 200 mgs per day.  I'm hoping this isn't some crazy amount that will be extremely hard. I will have some left that I am flushing but will take my dose tonight. I see the doctor tomorrow to let him know what I'm doing.
Is this an extremely high doze to just jump off of?  I considered tapering but that doesn't seem to work with me. my mom is coming to stay for a few days to help with my daughter.  I'm just terrified and I know that when I did it once before this board helped with the first week using if day.  I'm scared of how I will deal with the chronic pain. but I do realize I'm still in pain even with the pain pills.  

I could use any support. Hope I'm capable of dealing with the pain and not being nasty to my mom .
I also have some support set up for next week, going to go to meetings and therapy.  

please wish me supoort, thanks to all of you for sharing you stories and support.

Hi hunny & congrats on the post,
I have never taken oxycoden but i'm addicted to so many drugs its unreal. Yoouare been realistic about things you say a tapper don't work for you so you have gone to the step you thinks right for you & you have thought it out well. Not only with your daughter but just your mum been there will give you the extra support you need.
As i have learn't with the 18 years i'v been on all kinds of drugs you have to do what is right for you. Ye tell your doc what your doing & take his advice on board. But the best person to help you is you ( & this place lol ). It has got me though so many rough days, I have sat & cry'd in pain in front of this screen while reading word's of praise & encoragement ( so sorry for the spelling i no its rubbish lol ).
I'm just guessing but i recon you w/d will be craps, sweat's, Not sleeping, anxiety but it's nothing you cannot deal with. Take 1 day @ a time & don't make your goals unreachable hunny or you will set youself up for a fall. You have the strenth to beat this. You'v made the step's you've had to so you can start this thing. So you no it aint gonna be a bowl of cherrys. just remember IT DO'S END but if you keep useing them it never will & all you will think is what if, So you have to give this a shot.
Have you thought about detox ??, I'm from the u.k & we get treatments like that for free, well unless you go privet. I don't no if you have that option in the states ???
Just keep posting & we will be hear for you, & ye you might of guessed i ramble on & on lol you'll get used to it hun
Peace out Nat xxx
ALL THE BEST YOU CAN DO THIS XXXOOOOXXX

HI......well your not the highest dose I have seen people jump from but your high enough to feel it.....try not to let fear into the equation it always worst in our minds then it turns out to be..
go into this with a win win attitude it will get you farther then any one thing...remember this is 1/3 physical and 2/3 mental be ready to fight on both fronts....I tell everybody beginning this
''you just got to be ok without being ok for a wile'' this to shall pass...the symptoms are only tempoary and attitude makes the difference between being uncomfortable and suffering
remember to force fluids gatoraid is good it has electrolytes to replase the ones you will be loosing ...when its bad remember a hot bath goes a long way in releiving the symptoms
sleep is usually a problem dont fight it pick  up some movies to watch wile your up
and just know deep down YOU CAN DO THIS I wish you all the luck in the world God bless....Gnarly
