I have taken combinations of those meds, and in fact am recuperating from a repeat dental procedure that went badly, and it's amazing how sometimes they work for me and sometimes they don't work at ALL. Since one of them is also a migraine supplement for me, this gets really frustrating. Anyway, I'm right where you are with the pain medications at the same time, and am also feeling frustrated, which is why your post caught my eye. I'm alternating and doubling up on some of mine. (But ONLY because I've had these meds before and know I am allowed to do so ... which is why I'm not being specific here; it's the sort of thing you need to make sure your doctor okays.)
When I was in radiation treatment and hit a pain wall, my oncologist went in a completely different pain direction and added a pain patch, which helped the gaps from other medications (different ones at the time). There are options out there ... please ask and see if they'll find one for you!
