I've seen her hallucinate from severe dehydration
She gets xtra agitated when she has a UTI
so eventually a single dose becomes a mega dose - this was how it was explained to me by a doctor when I asked why my parents had such a strong reaction to morphine. The doctor also said some pain meds are more easily processed than others - so again, as Churchmouse suggests - talk to a doctor, there may be a better pain med to fit your mothers need.
