Consider stop patch: Fentanyl patch can cause moodiness, irritability and depression. It is unlikely that your md wanted you to also utilize the loritab as well - and stopping it might provide relief. Combined narcotics can be risky in particular in regards to respiration. Consult with md first though. A lower dose patch may provide adequate pain relief without these side effects. If other meds review interactions.

Stat to Specialist!: Certainly, you are connected with a pain service and a practitioner who'd wish to know specifically what your symptoms are, and your reactions to the medications he/she has prescribed. The effects of these two narcotics are additive and any mood changes resulting from their combined effect need to be thoughtfully, and carefully, evaluated.
