    You said it - bad combination. Dangerous most likely. There are too many legitimate options to treat chronic pain to have you suffer from the pain and its treatment. Most physicians would combine an anti-inflammatory pain medication (oxaprozin), acetaminophen, a skeletal muscle relaxant (other than carisoprodol), a drug which works on the gap between nerves or the nerve synapse (amitriptyline although there are a great many), a drug which works on the nerve membrane such as gabapentin, and an opioid such as tramadol hydrochloride. Clonidine may be utilized but I would prefer its relative guanfacine which has virtually no side effects. There are other drugs which may be utilized as well. Alcohol is obviously a poor choice. Rest deprivation - almost certainly present - must be addressed. I am very sorry that you have so much to deal with and that you have run out of emotional resources. It does not sound as if you have been aggressively treated medically however so there is still hope. JR
