Can Oxycodone Hydrochloride Be Taken While On Prozac And Hydroxyzine?

hi I am currently taking 60 mg of prozac daily, as well as 50 mg of hydroxizine daily. I had all my wisdom teeth pulled and they prescribed me Oxycodone hydrochloride 5mg. I didnt mention my current SSRIs. I went to take it but i am online browsing and it says it will cause serotonin syndrome and increase the effects of the prozac. I find it strange they gave me a narcotic despite the amount of pain i was in. They also didnt ask if i was on any current meds or had any allergies.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It should be okay to take this small dose of Oxycodone short term even with the Prozac if you only take it short term. I would be more concerned with the hydroxyzine since both of them can be quite sedating. Perhaps you could try half a pill or just use some Tylenol or Motrin for the pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
