i don't specifically know the answer to that.

you can go to a pharmacy and ask for the drug company insert on the med.
then read it from cover to cover. it will tell you about side effects and possibly mention the elderly.

just doubling the dose seems excessive to me. it should be increased gradually i would think because of her age. you really want to make sure she doesn't fall. that wouldn't be good and can lead to other problems.

perhaps she could see a gerontologist for her pcp. they are experts on caring for the elderly.
