Accepted Answer

None: I would not recommend any further medication, since the chance for adverse drug interactions is high. You are are already taking  several medications that act on the serotonin system and may result in adverse interaction.

Question 2

is taking gabapentin, naproxen, flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) and elavil together safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes...sort of: The Gabapentin and flexeril/elavil can make one sleepy initially but is tolerable after a while if you're on the right dose. Naproxen is ok as long as you're mindful of it's GI side effects (ulcers). You may want to ask your doc about the flexeril/elavil combo - they are sort of similar drugs and may be too strong of a combined effect for you.

Yes, however...: They can interact and cause excessive sedation, so check with your pcp or specialist to discuss further.

Question 4

is it okay to take gabapentin and tramadol together for pain relief?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but: Tramadol is a non opioid analgesic being given for moderate to severe pain. Gabapentin is an anti-convulsant being prescribed for neuropathic type of pain. Both medications also come in an extended release formulation. Gabapentin should be taken regularly . While the regular or immediate release tramadol can be taken when one has episodes of moderate to severe pain.

Question 5

is it safe for me to take gabapentin and tramadol together for pain relief?

Accepted Answer

OK to mix: Gabapentin is metabolized via the kidney and has no substantial drug reaction with tramadol.  Both could cause drowsiness and dizziness, and this could be additive.  Although tramadol could rarely cause seizures, Gabapentin suppresses szs, so this essentially cancels out.  So, in essence, with your doctor's very close supervision, you likely will do fine.
