Hi, 

my husband is on Pregabalin and Longtec Oxycodone twice a day. With top ups of liquid Oxycodone every two hours if needed. 

He was originally on morphine ended up overdosing because it was too much too soon, then onto the Oxy. 
Now we seem to be having issues with him staying awake for anything more than half an hour, he can sleep the whole day and is feeling drowsy and unable to function. 

Is this normal? What are other people experiencing with these meds? 

He has stage 4 lung which has spread to nearly all his bones. 

  • Hi Kwaps I am sorry to hear about your husband. 

    Sorry I do not have any personal experience of those drugs, but I think they both have drowsiness as side effects. I would speak to your husbands GP or oncology team if you think he is sleeping too much. 

    Take care
