Gabatril is not a neuroleptic, it is actually an anticonvulsant. I would highly recommend a neuroleptic (Phenergan would probably be the best choice, because it has very little propensity to cause dystonia, and it is one of the most studied for pain management).
It does sound like you are indeed *highly* opiod tolerant, unless you weigh in excess of 300lbs, if 300mg of Demerol didn't put you in an ICU on a ventilator.
Norflex might also be another option for PRN use, it has a different mechanism of action then Skelaxin (unless i am confusing generic names here, it has been known to happen but not often) and is particularly good for pain because besides being a muscle relaxant it shares common properties with the dissociative anaesthetics (i.e. ketamine)... also, i have a friend with fibromyalgia who says she has good luck with the transdermal gel version of ketamine, have you tried that?
