Yes it is normal for Oxycodone to cause these side effects as it is an opiate class of drugs.
I would like to know for what ailment you were prescribed this drug.
Are you on regular oxycodone or it is only just recently started.
once you can describe your symptoms your medication can be modified depending upon the available medications.
