Oxycodone frequently causes nausea. Occasionally, it can also cause muscle twitching (myoclonus), especially when very high doses are being used.
If promethazine is not controlling the nausea, there are other anti-nausea meds that you could try eg. metoclopramide (Reglan) or prochlorperazine (Compazine). Alternatively, switching from oxycodone to a different analgesic could help. Transdermal fentanyl (Duragesic) is one choice for severe chronic pain. Also, non-opioid pain meds can often allow a reduction in opioid doses, and this may reduce side effects such as nausea.
