My Mother Is A Synap Forte Addict

My mother is 81 yrs old, has been using Synap Forte for 25 years - average dosage 10-12 per day! She has become very paranoid-sees/hears voices/people the last few years. Is it the cause of pills?? She has tried every trick in the book to obtain Synap and is now extremely aggressive/angry that pills are going off the market! She has stockpiled pills for a few more months-will she get withdrawals and what must we do? My mother is not suffering from a terminal illness, but has pain associated with old age and early-teen rheumatic fever and osteoporosis.

Have you considered getting help for her?

Synap Forte contains Paracetamol, Propoxyphene, Diphenhydramine and Caffeine and that is a very long time to have been taking it and especially in such high amounts.

Yes, suddenly stopping it may cause withdrawal effects and she may already be suffering some stomach and organ damage from the prolonged use and high doses.
