Brief Answer:
No significant interaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Oxazepam and 5HTP do not have any major drug interaction. They may be taken together. The only problem that can arise is excess sedation (sleepiness). If it is so then the dose of oxazepam has to be half than what you were taking earlier.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
