Brief Answer:
Interactions are moderate

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Oxycodone and Amitriptyline are bound to interact with each other hence should not be taken at the same time (even 15 min apart).
Please do not continue to take these at a time. THey should be taken at least 4 hours a part.
One episode of dizziness should be taken as a redflag sign and stop taking together.
Drink as much of water to eliminate the medicines out of the body. That should suffice. Check pulse rate, Blood pressure and temperature.

Hope this answers your query.
