I am not sure I know what you mean by ';according to time of day';.

what kinds of personality change are you seeing, how do you know it is the meds that are causing this? I would call my doctor and ask, also google side effects of this medication.How do you live with someone who is on pain medication....I don't know the person anymore,personality changes?
Some people's bodies don't handle pain medication very well. I am seeing a doctor who specializes in pain management. He works with me to get the the right medicine at the right doses. I would highly recommend that your spouse see a pain management specialist to help him. Mine has worked wonders to help me deal with chronic pain while being able to live a normal life. And yes, my wife is involved in my treatment as she can provide information to me and my doctor on my behavior should something go awry.
