@j0nathan26
I have a history similar to yours
I am taking Melatonin 5 for two years and this stopped the symptoms described
immediately
I was taking Venlafaxine 150mv for 20 years and for the past year have been weaning myself off
I had read that RBd can be caused by Venlafaxine
I also read that some Mayo specialists do not think RBD will automatically lead to PD or Lewis Body as my doctor in UK suggested
I am 80 and showing no sign of it presently so looking forward to a normal life expectancy

@looplu79 thanks for the reply. Could I ask how long since you've been diagnosed? Couldn't decide if you meant 2 or 20 years? Glad to hear you're still going strong at 80!
