I don't want to take a whole tablet due to being on a benzo but I need something for this pain. I don't want to cut it in half if it will be dangerous?
Can you cut a oxycodone/acet 5/325 in half, one side is scored?

Yes you can. It's not long acting so you will be fine. I cut mine all the time. The ingredients are mixed well when the pills are made so you will get half of the strength of each ingredient.

You can, but you might get the half that is mostly or entirely acetaminophen. Check with your MD or pharmacist to make certain.

You can but I would check with the Dr. that prescribed them and the benzo to you.
