How To Wean Off Oxycodone?

I have been on Methodone (10MG in AM) and oxycodone (90 mg per day) and take 150 mgs of trazadone to sleep. I have had 2 neck surgeries, have fibromyalgia and extreme sciatica pain as well as psoriatic arthritis. My question is how does one get off these medications in order to live a holistic lifestyle. It seems like I m going through withdrawal or something causing blurred vision, extreme tiredness, eye pain and depression. I don t want to be on anxiety pills and anti depressants either anymore. I am so sick of medfs and now my doctor is retiring! I am currently on Medi-cal but have just gotten Kaiser through medi-cal partnership. How do I go down on these drugs without all these side effects? I am tired of my doctor switching me from one thing to the next. I hacve had epidurals, MRI s and nothing works. I just want to be on a safe real food diet and live a holistic lifer! What do I say to my doctor to make him understand? Thanks for any help you can give.
