This side effect usually goes away after a few days. If the sickness persists, consult a doctor about taking anti-sickness medication.
Discomfort in the stomach : Try to rest and relax. Eating and drinking slowly, as well as eating smaller and more frequent meals, can be beneficial. Applying a heat pad or a covered hot water bottle to your stomach may also be beneficial. If you are in a lot of pain, speak to your pharmacist or doctor.
Are you sleepy or tired? : These side effects should subside within a week or two as your body adjusts to the oxycodone. Consult a doctor if the symptoms persist.
Dizziness and a spinning sensation : Lie down until the dizziness subsides, then slowly rise. Move slowly and deliberately. If you are dizzy, do not drive, cycle, or operate tools or machinery.
Confusion or a lack of awareness : If you are unsure, consult a doctor. Your dose may need to be adjusted.
Headaches : Rest and drink plenty of fluids are essential. It is best not to drink alcohol while taking oxycodone because it can aggravate headaches. It is safe to take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. Consult a doctor if your headaches last more than a week or are severe.
Itching or a rash : It may be beneficial to take an antihistamine, which is available from a pharmacy. Consult your pharmacist to determine which type is best for you. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen, consult a doctor as you may need to try a different pain reliever.
