If you are looking for affordable pain drugs, Morphine extended release is the most affordable, after methadone, which is the cheapest but methadone remains risky.

Another option is Fentanyl patches, also expensive.

And some people use Suboxone, but that requires a special doctor who has a Suboxone permit license to give it.

There are other narcotics like Opana. Nucynta does not seem to be popular from what I've read.

Choice really depends on the doctor and patient-- some patients would not be candidates for methadone at all.
