Both hydrocodone and oxycodone are effective at easing acute and chronic pain. They both cause very similar side effects. The differences between the two drugs are minimal, so the best way to pick which drug is right for you is by having a conversation with your doctor.
As far as the withdrawal effects are concerned as both of them are opiates, you will NOT have any problems.
hope that helps.
