I'm sure some places still will, but the trend is moving more toward primary only giving things like SSRIs, and referring them to behavioral after.

Zohydro:hydrocodone:Oxycontin:oxycodone ?

Pretty much...

Zo and contin don't have tylenol in them.

And both are supposed to be XR. The reasoning is valid, in that supposedly in legitimate usage of potentially addictive drugs, you can reduce likelihood of addiction by decreasing need to redose.

So instead of someone having to take 20mgs of Percocet 3 times a day, they can take one 60mg Oxycontin XR at the beginning of the day and be good throughout the day. This "once a day" dosage supposedly decreases likelihood of abuse. The problem, of course, is that junkies get around the XR by grinding it up and getting the full dose at once.

Basically

According to our reference the starting dose for Zohydro is 10mg (over 12hr). Oxy is 5 over 4. (for opioid naive)
