Hi,
Thanks for the query.
- Oxycodone is a habit forming pain medicine . Earlier dosage taken repeatedly may superimpose it action with possibility of side effects with higher intensity ( dizziness.. fainting. .. mood changes,confusion,difficult breathing etc)
-To avoid these doctor aims at pain relief mentenance at lowest possible dose.
So you should continue with advised dose &go for review .. doctor will change doses if needful.
