This is really a question for your pharmacist. The list of drugs Lyrica interacts with is a long one.

Lyrica does interact moderately with both Pamelor and Xanax (Xenxa?). All three are central nervous system depressants. The question would be if all three could interact together to depress your nervous system functioning too much.

You really should talk to your pharmacist about this.
Good luck!

Hi Nanny Reed,
You can read an article by Karen Lee Richards about medications that are commonly prescribed for Fibromyalgia here in the drugs database. There is formulary information about many common medications here. As far as your list of medications, you can read about Lyrica here, Pamelor here and Xanax here. Aleve is an over the counter medication, but it is a brand name for Naproxen which you can find here.
You can see what the side effects for each medication are and determine if you should speak to your pharmacist to make sure there are no reactions. Remember when you speak to the Pharmacist (or Doctor) to tell them about everything you take, even vitamins and suppliments.
While online sites like Health Central are great resources for information, they can not take the place of your doctor's solid medical advice. If you have a concern, see your doctor!
Take care and stay in touch. Let us know how you are doing!
