Trying to wean off Toporal XL

My Mother has been on Toporal XL for the last 2 years. She has been really tired all the time, has been weight lose and not her self. She has cut back from 50mg to 25 mg and she is feeling much better and back to her self. She is scared though to just "cold turkey" it. She has cut her dose from 50mg to 25mg she says "she hasnt felt this good in a long time". Everytime she takes the Toporal now, she has heart palputations and anxiety attacks. We are not sure where to go from here.....
