Hello,
Sweating & vomiting after stopping Oxycodone is usually due to withdrawal symptoms. Your husband can take antiemetics. Sweating is due to anxiety & restlessness.
He may need antipsychotics. You are suggested to let your husband get clinically examined. He needs medical support & symptomatic treatment done urgently.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
