Clarification: Both gabapentin and Cymbalta (duloxetine) have capacity to suppress "nerve" pain, but neither cures any of it. Yes both are safe and effective but both have adverse effects which may be an issue. Vistaril is not of value here, but your amitriptyline is an older drug which can be effective at appropriate dosing.

Gabapentin : And cymbalta (duloxetine) both help with nerve pain and are safe and effective . Vistarlil is old med that might boost the effect and help sleep

Med combo: Sometimes gabapentin and / or cymbalta (duloxetine) are prescribed to deal with neuropathic pain. They work by interfering with molecular transmission needed to send the pain signal, especially relevant to neuropathy. They can sometimes be used together. They do not always work. Sometimes one medicine is enough. I am not aware that vistaril would cause them to be more or less effective.
