MS contin is a good drug for controlling pain to a great extent. However, effective alternatives to methadone include, anti-epileptic drug, such as, carbamazepine or Clonazepam; or, anti-depressant drug, such as, amitriptyline.
Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me and prescribe either of the drugs as advised.
