HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is not the medicines that causes such symptoms to her but it is the mental break (Nervous breakdown) down due to pain, here the underlying cause of the pain is concern and that needs to be treated and not the pain, narcotic drug always needs to be avoided hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
