Brief Answer:
Lyrica can cause disorientation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome here.
I can understand your concerns.

Lyrica is known to cause dizziness and disorientation.
Considering the age of 91, 2 tablets of lyrica can easily cause disorientation.
I would suggest to withhold lyrics for tonight and consult doctor asap if the disorientation persists.

Hoping for early recovery.
Thanks.
