Many drugs cause a delirium in the elderly. Simple ones like Zantac and Pepcid. Sometimes a combination of drugs, will do this...like Ditropan or any other anticholinergic drug combined with something else (for bladder control).

If you PM me her medication list, I'll look it over.

Has she been tested for low B12? This will also cause mental confusion when low. USA doctors for some strange reason think 200's is normal when it is really LOW by other countries' standards. It should be 500 or above. So getting this tested is really important.
