The patch should be changed on Thursday.As for the sleeping,she should become used to the medication and sleep less as her body adjusts. At one time Rob was on 300mcg Fentanyl and 240mg Morphine for breakthrough pain,and he functioned more or less ok and certainly had his wits about him.The medication he took for nerve pain in his trigeminal nerve actually made him more drowsy.It may take a little while but she should even out.
