Answers:
I take Cymbalta for fibromyalgia pain. (To the other answerer: Seroquel can be used for sleep).
I believe you need to talk to a med professional. I doubt you can find an appropriate answer here.
Good luck
Seroquel is not for sleep. Seroquel is an atypical antipsychotic.
Low doses of most any tricyclic or tetracyclic antidepressant (any of those that you mentioned) may (or may not) be helpful in treating your pain.
Out of your list i would choose none. Go with another tricyclic called clomipramine (anafranil). Ask your doctor about it because it is fantastic for ocd. It sorted me out so well and it can also be used for pain too.
But best to always talk to your doctor about your own treatment
good luck
