Some doctors will prescribe suboxone for depression, rather than oxycodone and morphine derivatives. Suboxone contains naltrexone (oral form of naloxone), an opiate antagonist to prevent overdose and addictive use. It also contain buprenophine, a strong opiate agonist with a long half-life, which makes it somewhat less addictive (though studies are finding that it's hard to get off of suboxone). Methadone is also a long-acting opiate, but it's hard to find a doctor willing or able to prescribe on an out-patient basis.

But if oxycontin works for you, great. It's long acting and, as long as you don't try to override the time-release (which is harder to do than it used to be, but is what addicts do), it is less addictive and easier to withdraw from, should you someday want to stop it.
