As stated, Freida (my mom) is now on 2 patches, the neurontin and morphine. she is hating this now. she keeps describing her state as an out of body experience. she can hardly walk down the hallway without bouncing from wall to wall.

i know that nobody here is a Dr (or maybe there is) but any opinions? Should we go back to one patch? or is there another medication that can control nerve pain? I really think its the neurontin thats making her so loopy and she absolutely hates it

Im going to call her oncologist in a bit so just wanted some alternative ideas to run by him before we speak
