There is interaction: The combination of these medications increases the risk of serotonin syndrome, a serious side effect that can cause death. Indeed very uncommon side effect or condition, but it happened in the past. Also oxycodone is not a good medication for chronic pain. Rec.: talk to your prescribing physician for medication adjustment.
