Hi,

Nexito, yes, it can cause unusual behavior changes, so family members and caregivers need close observation and communication [and consult prescriber as well]
Armod [moreover headache, depression in1-3 %]
Donepezil or Aricep can cause confusion [2%]
So, overall combination of these drugs may lead to side effects

simple things can help her like
a] Nature walk [review good memory of her oR SPOTS], play some time in day her favorite music, celebrate with her
b] Diet [include fruits, vegetables, salads, turmeric, basil, rose,] avoid non-veg or going near pollution area or smoking
c] Join online art of living course [ombw] or sahaj meditation workshop [include sukshm yoga] have seen similar history patient got full recovery and she is now taking no drugs, she can be given it as therapy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
