Hi jr,

From what I could gather, the medical prefix "oxy" simply indicates the presence of oxygen in a compound: oxyacanthine, oxycamphor, oxyquinoline, oxycodone, etc...

That seems to be the only relation to all drugs that start with "oxy". If you only had a negative reaction to oxycodone and that's it, then I wouldn't assume that all "oxy" drugs provoke the same feelings or side effects you experienced; mostly because "oxy" is not the only compound found in oxy"codone". It could just be the synthetic opiate that causes you to react a certain way.

Furthermore, it's important to note that all prescription drugs pose the risk of side effects no matter how safe they claim to be.

All in all there's a lot to take into consideration with any drug, so I'd just go with your gut on this one and do what you feel is appropriate for you.

I hope this info helps!
