Question Need a med reccomendation for chronic pain

Slightly long backstory:
I have fibromylagia, so my current treatment plan includes narcotics.
However, I cannot take anti inflammatories in any form due to a stomach surgery a few years back.
I also have developed a serious Tylenol intolerance (as in, puking every time I take my vicoden) not controlled by anti nausea medicine at all.

I am on a fairly low dose (10mg / day) and have no current insurance, so paying out of pocket until my local hospitals charity care kicks in (soon, please!!).

Other meds I am on are Lexapro, so no SSRI's for fear of seratonin syndrome, Lyrica when I can get free samples, and .5mg Xanax as needed.

I have tried the following to no avail:
Tramadol, Trazadone, Cymbalta, Lyrica, Amitriptyline, Butalalbitol, Vicoden, Percocet, Fentanyl patches and surely more I'm forgetting.

Narcotics work REALLY well for me, in regards to pain and keeping a reasonably clear head. BUT- my doc and I can't seem to find a med that doesn't have APAP/Tylenol or and Anti inflammatory, and has a low enough dose for me. I've been trying to stick to the vicoden 5/500 x2 because it can be called in, etc But I had to move to percocet this month because it's available in 5/325 formulations.

I'd like thoughts on what to ask my doc for. We're both trying to do research, and I have a pain contract so it isn't in appropriate for me to ask my doctor to let me try a different drug.
Appreciate any thoughts!
