The Reality of Prescription Drug Addiction in South Africa
Prescription drugs are easily accessible in South Africa—and often misused or overused. Many start with a valid reason: a headache, insomnia, anxiety, or the flu. But continued use leads to tolerance, dependency, and eventually, addiction.
Here are some of the most commonly abused prescription meds in South Africa:
- Painkillers – Stilpane, Tramacet, Myprodol
- Cough Syrups (Codeine-Based) – Stopayne Cough, BronCleer, Lenazine
- Sleeping Tablets – Zolpidem, Stilnox
- Anti-Anxiety Meds – Alzam, Urbanol, Xanor
- Antidepressants & Mood Stabilizers – Lexamil, Serdep, Epitec
If you’re taking these medications longer than prescribed—or feel like you can’t function without them—it may be time for prescription drug rehab.

Detoxing From Prescription Meds Like Stilpane, Alzam & Zolpidem
Quitting certain meds suddenly—especially benzodiazepines or opioids—can be dangerous. That’s why we use a clinically supervised tapering process, easing withdrawal symptoms and protecting your health.
We focus not just on the physical aspects of addiction, but also the emotional and mental triggers that cause relapse.
