Default combination of drugs

i have got severe acute sciatica with assumed prolapsed disc L4/L5 and L5/S1 with posterior bone spurs as spoken about in my other thread and wonder if im ok taking the following medication I have been prescribed and hopefully weaning off over the next week.

Im thinking of taking 2 x 50 tramadol (4 daily)
2 x 500 paracetamol (4 daily)
1 x 50 diclofenac (3 daily)
1 x 2mg diazepam (3 daily)

taking in the following routine

Morning 2 tramadol
2 paracetamol
1 diclofenac

Noon 2 tramadol
2 paracetamol
1 diazepam

Eve 2 tramadol
2 paracetamol
1 diclofenac

Bed 2 tramadol
2 paracetamol
1 diclofenac
2 x 2mg diazepam (to get me through the night and help me sleep)

I don't know about your other meds,but i do take tramadol.
I have been told not to exceed 6 pills a day.
If you feel the need to,then ask about the extended release form of the pill.
I asked for it and was told my insurance won't cover it
I do still take up to 8 a day because i can't seem to get anything else for my pain.....
Just wanted to warn you in case you are new to the med.
Good luck!
