What Causes Depression And Anxiety After Taking Oxycodone?

hi, I was wondering ... I usually take vicodin for pain: my doctor prescribed Oxycodone this time and i feel I am depressed and VERY anxious whereas this does not happen with the Vicodin. Is this in my head? or is it possible the percocet is making me anxious??
