A method is proposed for calculating the contributions of the higher states of the discrete spectrum and the continuum in the two-center problem to the binding energy of a system of three bodies. The method makes it possible to find the energy levels of mesic molecules with accuracy approx.10/sup -3/ eV. The convergence of the expansion of the wave functions of mesic molecules of the hydrogen isotopes with respect to an adiabatic basis is investigated numerically.
