I was prescribed hydroxyzine for my nighttime anxiety,i take 15 mg oxycodone for l4/l5 lower back pain a few hours before bedtime. are these safe?

Not safe.: Opiates are not considered appropriate for chronic back pain. You will become tolerant, then dependent. Get referred to a pain management specialist.
