Newly diagnosed with RBD
I've just been diagnosed with RBD after falling out of bed 2x in a week. I've been punching and grabbing my poor husband in my sleep for years but never thought anything of it.
I'm obsessing about the potential for follow on neurological issues. Any memory issues and I think it's a sign. How do others deal with this?

That's very interesting about the venlafaxine. I have been taking it for about 10 or so years but only at 75mg for the last 2 years. I was having other side effects from it so we added buprofin? (Welbutrin) and lowered the venlafaxine dosage. I'll pose this question to my neurologist! Thank you for sharing!
@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!
Only diagnosed 2 yrs ago
Had no symptoms until 9 months prior
Then had shouting leaping from bed etc
It coincided with a period of upheaval in my
Personal life
