Default Fracture--need Percocet and Robaxin--taper Gaba. and Nort.?

I have been doing better, down to 400 mg of gabapentin and 40 of nortriptyline a day. So today I went and broke my shoulder – no surgery, just lots of pain, and plenty of pain meds. But I think the combination of my PN meds and these new drugs (Percocet and a muscle relaxer) is making me really woozy and dopey. That's very bad news for my job, besides feeling just plain awful.. So I wonder about cutting way back on the gabapentin and nortriptyline. I'm sure there have been discussions about tapering off from gaba and nortiptyline before; can anybody give me advice about letting the Percocet and Robaxin substitute for them? Or maybe direct me to an earlier thread?
