So I was super fucking depressed, unable to focus or do jack shit. But then I got my wisdom teeth removed, and put on Oxycodone.
Now I can work and get things done. Life seems better. I ain't gonna try to get more pills when my subscription is done, but what should I do?
Is this a sign that perhaps I just needed medication to get out of my slump? Should I go to a Psychiatrist?
I mean obviously I can't go ask for Oxycodone to treat depression. It's ok for me to be using it now because there's a fucking hole in my gums, but I want to be proactive when my teeth have healed.
I just want to do things again, and not angst, or worry.
Any advice y'all can give me?

I've been on two different antidepressants for a week and I see no difference. If anything I got worse.

I have taken many anti depressants over the years. I have learned a few things. The big one is everyone is different, so medication needs to be tailored by a doctor who specializes in such things.
For me I found a few that works well for me, but in the end diet and exercise (along with years of hard work and counseling) was what got me out of my dark place. I now take controlled dosages of over the counter vitamins, and yes the details matter, (mostly B3 - Niacin) and follow a strict workout plan as missing a few days can have me noticeably slide back.
It is important to keep records and work with others, including your doctor. As you may not notice the side effects given these things literally mess with your mind. Also oxycodone is highly addictive, has ruined many lives, and is not used for such things. So I would avoid it and look for better alternatives.

You seem to respond to the effects of pain killers as an antidepressant. I'm not sure what about them does that, but I do too. Try tramadol. It's used as an off-label antidepressant. Works great. Can make you a bit dizzy if you take too much at first though. Effects are almost immediate better mood.

I forgot to mention that I have been on several anti-depressants as well, and as someone else mentioned, you have to find the right one that works for you, and that takes time. It takes time to find it, and then time to see the effects once you do. Painkillers seem to skip all of that though, which is why I'm using them as a temporary fix. I'd suggest seeking actual anti-depressants, but in the mean time it's a great quick fix.

that is actually pretty common with antidepressants. general rule of thumb is that you need to take them for 4-8 weeks to know if they're going to work.
make sure you have someone you can call if your symptoms get to the point where you might seriously injure yourself.

I was also prescribed sleeping pills and every night I consider just taking the whole bottle.

This is why opioids are so addictive.
