Strong prescription medicines can have unexpected side effects on our bodies, including hair fall due to systemic stress. I had some major complications when I tried to ignore drug side effects in the past. Please contact the doctor who prescribed you this medicine to discuss if this is the cause.
I usually just read the posts here, but yes, strong painkillers can sometimes stress the body and lead to hair thinning. It's best to discuss this with your doctor so they can check your dosage or suggest alternatives.
I suffer from PCOS and have dealt with major hair loss myself, so I know how stressful it is to lose hair. While I am not sure of the exact link with oxycodone, any heavy medication can put stress on the body and trigger shedding. It might be good to get a basic health checkup and consult your doctor.
The body often reacts to heavy chemical medicines by showing signs of stress like hair fall. In my experience, practicing gentle breathing exercises like Pranayama helps reduce internal stress and improves circulation to the scalp. However, do keep your physician informed about what you are feeling.

I don't know much about heavy medicines, but whenever my body goes through stress, my hair starts acting up too! Honestly, keeping a good diet with enough protein, eggs, and nuts helps a lot with hair health. But definitely check with your doc first to see if the medicine is the real culprit.
