Clonazepam has helped me with REM behavioral sleep disorder. Had it for at least 10 years and diagnosed with LBD 2 years ago.

@mjensen24 My 81 yr old husband has severe neuropathy in his feet and takes several different drugs for the pain. When I told him it was not supposed to be used with another drug he takes he decided to go off it cold turkey without telling me. What followed lent true meaning to "climbing the walls".
I took him to the ER and he spent almost a week in the hospital and still, 10 years later, can't remember all the details of that unfortunate event.
On occasion, I like the way it helps me sleep better too but be aware of the need for titrating; don't stop it cold turkey.
