Ok, first alert the doctor. There can be a large number of potential causes of that. The fentanyl can cause lack of oxygen and that is corectable. It can also directly cause changes in personality which reverse with lowering the dose of the fentanyl. Or it could be depression associated with having a painful fatal disease.
