Does Transderm Scop Patch Cause Hallucinations?

My mom is 86. It was recommended we try a trascop derm patch for her dizziness and balance. She has just been through a two day ordeal of hallucinations. The patch was taken off 3 days ago. Could her behavior be a side effect of the drug? She is doing much better now.
