I Have A 91 Year Old Mother Who Suddenly One

I have a 91 year old mother who suddenly one night starts screaming and talking in her sleep.
Dr ordered 50 MG's of Seroquel which did nothing for her to improve symptoms.
It Actually lowered her Blood pressure and had to stop. We were also told to slowly taper her off
her Lexapro ,she has been taking for over 10 years, before we could start the Seroquel.. But her talking in her sleep started before we stopped the Lexapro.

What would you recommend to help someone sleep at this age. we have tried 10mgs of melatonin with
no relief.
