Brief Answer:
I think quetiapine low dose should be tried

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Health care magic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Alrhough her prescriptions are not much useful as there is no mentions of diagnosis but from my personal experince I feel she could respond better with low dose quetiapine such as 25 mg or 50 mg.

In addition I feel she should be evaluated for dementia and delirium which needs MRI brain and other biochemical tests such as B 12, thyriod, folic acid, vitamin D 3.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
