well after having his fentanyl patch bumped up because the gabapetin wiped him out too much, they upped patch to 75, and that was way too much, sleeping way too much and could not get off couch, called dr back and said he was sleeping too much, could we try lyrica and within the first day, he was a whole lot better...actually feeling good enough to leave the house and putz around the garage...so thinking we are getting the meds worked out finally. thanks for the suggestions.
