haven't taken this drug, but he's a link to it with side effects.
http://www.drugs.com/sfx/oxycodone-side-effects.htmlsounds like these side effects are possible. if you are worried about the seriousness of the side effects, i'd call the doctor "on call" for your doctor and asked them.
here is an excerpt from that link:
Serious adverse reactions that may be associated with Oxycodone hydrochloride tablets therapy in clinical use are those observed with other opioid analgesics and include: respiratory depression, respiratory arrest, circulatory depression, cardiac arrest, hypotension, and/or shock.
The less severe adverse events seen on initiation of therapy with Oxycodone hydrochloride tablets are also typical opioid side effects. These events are dose dependent, and their frequency depends on the clinical setting, the patient's level of opioid tolerance, and host factors specific to the individual. They should be expected and managed as a part of opioid analgesia. The most frequent of these include nausea, constipation, vomiting, headache, and pruritus.
In many cases the frequency of adverse events during initiation of opioid therapy may be minimized by careful individualization of starting dosage, slow titration and the avoidance of large rapid swings in plasma concentration of the opioid. Many of these adverse events will abate as therapy is continued and some degree of tolerance is developed, but others may be expected to remain throughout therapy.
so really its a matter of whether or not the side effects are serious, are they on the serious list? thus i'd call the doctor on call and discuss your side effects. feeling ill, like sick to ones stomach, "out of it", are unpleasant but probably not serious. on the other hand, a severe drop in blood pressure or difficulty breathing are something to take seriously.
