Small vessel microangiopathic ischemic changes on MRI is a not significant finding. No correlation with her behavioural changes.
Dizziness and Drowsiness is very common after starting those two medications prescribed.
Where these behavioural changes abrupt onset and what triggered it needs to be evaluated.
