It is important for women to understand cause/effect, and not use "google" as a credible source of information (it depends what Google displays, as far as resources).
As mentioned above, it may be more likely that the cause of amenorrhea is not from the medication, but rather from the original condition (ie, the reason for oxycodone) that can be leading to amenorrhea. Either way, if a woman missed 3 or more consecutive periods, it is important to talk to her doctor (and not speculate what the cause may be).
It is interesting that oxycodone use for 2-5 years would be mentioned, as this is an exceptionally long time for this type of drug, and would lead me to believe that there are other systemic reasons for amenorrhea.
