Yes with caution: Use with caution this combination may increase the risk of respiratory depression, increased sedation. Do not drive/ use machinery, until you know how these medicine affect you. Stand/sit up slowly. Let all your doctors know the medications you are taking. Common side effect stomach issues. Report any unusual tiredness/weakness, confusion. See your doctor for continuous care. Feel better soon.

Yes: Klonopin (clonazepam) is anti-anxiety medication. Oxycodone is an opiate. You can use them together. However, when using them together, you have increased risk of respiratory depression, sedation, drowsiness ....

Not Recommended: Taking benzodiazepines with opiates can significantly increase your risk of breathing issues. While awake its not a problem, it is when you sleep that the problem heightens as you normally slow breathing down at night.
