Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can take morphine while you are on fentanyl patch. Nothing wrong in combining these two opiods and they will definitely provide better pain relief. But you may feel bit sleepy when combining the two opiod drugs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
