Dr. Robert Wilson answered

Specializes in Addiction Medicine

Probably: Oxycodone is a potent opiate and causes drowsiness. Tolerance to oxycodone effects and side effects does develop with time. Meanwhile the idea of explore lower doses with your physician to reduce side effects. Caution driving or operating machinery meanwhile.
