Based on what I've read, you will want to use memantine (Namenda, Axura) to prevent further tolerance buildup, as well as adding proglumide (Promid, Milid) every other week to start the process of reversing the tolerance.
Depending on the severity of your pain, you may want to consider buprenorphine (Temgesic) for moderate pain, or fentanyl (Duragesic) for heavy pain.
It is also possible to obtain fentanyl "candy" (Actiq), which you roll around in your mouth for rapid effect, to treat breakthrough pain (typically in cancer treatment).
How severe is your pain, what is its cause, and what is your goal?
