As long as you: only took one oxycodone (presumably 5 mg) with the two acetominophens, you should be ok. They work by different mechanisms. Continue to force fluids a bit. I don't really understand this kind of distraction--some people are so stressed by, say two sources of pain, that they use poor judgment and just take "whatever." Please guard against this type of bad judgement. Stay well:)

Relax if you did not take many Oxycodone Please see your Family Physician or go to Urgent Care for Diagnosis and Treatment for use of Oxycodone, cramps and headache. After that, see a Psychiatrist for possible Anxiety and Depression due to stresses in your life.
