I take 20 mg of oxycodone and 10 mg of oxycontin each twice a day for back pain. Are they the likely cause of the sleepy, drowsy, tired feeling that I experience much of each day?

Yes, drowsiness, dizziness, and sedation are common side effects, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

How long have you been taking them?

Side effects are typically transient and go away, with time, once your body gets to the medications.
