Hi,

All these pain killer can be taken together but I advise that at a time two pain killer are sufficient for relief of disc herniation and 9ther related issues.

Consumption of more pain killer may not have added advantage but dangerous more.

So continue with Gabapentin and baclofen. others can be stopped.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
