That is quite a cocktail.

The amitriptyline is a very high dose.

The Flexerill is considered similar to amitriptyline.

The Fioricet has both caffeine and a barbiturate.

I wonder if you would do better with a smaller dose of the amitriptyline plus the Lexapro with the pain meds as a back-up or break through med.

The mix would tax anybody.

What is the clonazepam prescribed for? It can be brutal.

Do you have skeletal pain?

Have you had your thyroid and other hormones tested?

The 'throw a drug at the wall and see if it sticks' can be infuriating.

Maybe Dr Cantu can direct you to some good help.
