New Oxycontin 80mg?

I just got my oxycontin filled and I've always gotten the same name brand oxycontin pills 80 mg every time. This month though, I got different pills that I was told were CR oxycontin instead of XR. (yes, I know controlled and sustained release is the same thing) My question is these pills say OP 80 instead of OC 80; and i was just wondering if anyone has had any expierence with these???

thanks in advance:

Suboxone for Pain Management

Has anyone been prescribed Sub for pain management? If so, what was your experience like? Did it help the pain?  Did the pharmacist/techs treat you like &*&? because they assumed you were an H***** or oxycontin addict?  Not many studies out there regarding its use for PM and just wondering about it efficacy.

Nucynta question

I got a rx for Nucynta 50mg along with zanaflex 3xday.  I've taken 2 and feel like @#$%.  My question is how long should I wait before I go back to the norco and soma that work?  Any help would be great.
