Does vistaril enhance the effects of oxycodone?

Yes. First generation antihistamines (i.e. Vistaril, Benadryl) increase the analgesic effects of most opiates so that a lower dose of opiate can be given. Antihistamines also reduce some of the side effects, such as itching and nausea. Vistaril can also inhibit the enzyme that metabolizes Oxycodone, but I think that is negligible unless the Vistaril dose is very high (over 100mg).
