Sciatica: True sciatica is leg pain that shoots from back, down the leg past the knee. This mimics the path of the sciatic nerve, thus it's name. Treatment is with nsaid's (my preference)—either Naproxen (again my preference since twice daily) or Ibuprofen (either but not both). Tylenol (acetaminophen) may be taken with nsaid's or alone—don't exceed 4g/day. Not a fan of muscle relaxers (sedatives, not really good relaxers).

Sciatica: All of the medications that you have listed can be used to help with neuropathic leg pain. I suggest an anti-inflammatory (naproxen, ibuprofen, etc.) and muscle relaxant (robaxin).
