Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

The 70 mg of oxycodone and 1 mg of xanax unlikely to cause serious reaction for healthy perdon but can cause respiratory depression and nervous system depression if increased further.

I must inform you that it is ok once in while when there is dire need but avoid such combination as far as possible.

At this moment you are requested to keep yourself hydrated and avoid any exposure to machine works like driving.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel to write back to me.
If not please close the query and rate the answer if possible.
Thanks and regards.
