Yes: You may try one dose of your oxycodone but do not exceed the dosage instructions on your prescription bottle. If that does not help, get seen by a doctor.

You can,: But acute headache remedies (opioids) taken more than two days a week may be associated with a transformation of episodic migraine attacks into an almost daily chronic migraine headache. The ideal abortive migraine drug should have a rapid onset of action, high overall efficacy (e.g. Triptan). Rec.: see orofacial pain or headache specialist for diagnosis and treatment.
