As mentioned above, this should not be a side effect of the medication. Have you talked with your doctor about your lack of menses (menstruation) for 4 consecutive months, or had any type of medical exam to check for/rule out other causes of amenorrhea?

Hi Anonymous
This is not a known side effect of oxycodone. Have you discussed your lack of periods with your health care provider? If you are comfortable answering, why are you taking oxycodone? Perhaps the cause of your pain is related to your menstrual problems, rather than the medication, or maybe it's related to other meds you are taking. If you have not already discussed this with your provider, I suggest you do so immediately to rule out any other issues.
