Brief Answer:
Yes both Tramadol and oxycodone act centrally on the brain

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM,
Yes both Tramadol and oxycodone act centrally on the brain to cause pain relief.

Both can therefore cause sedation, interfere with our reflexes,are dangerous during driving and disturb the routine.

It is better to take only one of them and only at night.

For day time it is better to take a non-centrally acting pain killer.
You can revert back.
