What Causes Memory Loss While On Requip And Hydrocodone?

my mother had a reaction to some medication. She is 75 years old and takes requip for restless leg syndrome. We think she took some hydrocodon for pain as well. She became very loopy and thick tonqued. She did not remember some of the things she was saying or doing. Could this be a reaction?
