There are no interactions between the medications, so that is discarded as being the possible cause of her hallucinations.

Ropinirole may cause serious side effects. Call your doctor at once if you have:
extreme drowsiness, falling asleep suddenly (even after feeling alert);
worsening or no improvement in your symptoms;
a light-headed feeling, like you might pass out;
unusual changes in mood or behavior;
tremors, twitching uncontrollable muscle movements; or
"hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not real)."

As you can read it is the increased dose of Ropinirole, you, as it says, must contact her Dr. asap.
All the best and I wish your wife a prompt recovery, masso
