Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The oxycodone is a opioid analgesic and a central nervous system depressant. Even though it does not interact directly with the cipralex which is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor(Anti depressant). The oxycodone produces depression So it is not ideal to take along with antidepressants. Consult a general physician and take opinion.
The other possible ways could be sticking on to Non opioids like non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs. Since the opioids have addictive properties, it is not safe for long term use.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
