Narcotic withdrawl: How many pills of oxycodone are you taking daily ? You could have developed a dependency on it and your heart rate goes up possibly due to withdrawal , that is why you get nervous also, you should not take Klonopin (clonazepam) as it may cause dependency itself and it shouldn't be mixed with narcotics, narcotics are not indicated for neuropathic pain , the best thing would be toget off of oxycodone good luck.

Numbness: Drugs can work. I would recommend you consider seeking the help of a certified functional medicine doctor (http://www.Functionalmedicine.Org/practitioner_search.Aspx?Id=117) who can help tease out the root imbalances in your body and help your symptoms more naturally while also generally improving your overall health.

Don't ask here: Ask your pain doc or neurologist, especially regarding use of narcotics or sedative/benzodiazipine drugs.

Stop oxycodone: 1- stop oxycodone- may be side effect. 2-oxycodone is not a drug of choice for neuropathy 3- the use of both oxycodone and Klonopin (clonazepam) can lead to a drug-drug- interaction or overdose 4-have your physican change your medican to non-narcotic anxiety meds. 5- you may be withdrawing from oxycodone- check with your physician.
