Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
OXYCODONE AND XANAX ARE BOTH CENTRALLY ACTING DEPRESSANTS AND CAN DEPRESS THE RESPIRATORY DRIVE IF TAKEN TOGETHER. IF BOTH THE DRUGS HAVE BEEN PRESCRIBED IN LOW DOSES AND BY SAME PHYSICIAN THEN YOU MAY CONTINUE THE TREATMENT.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal
