Living with REM Behavior Disorder

Hi I was diagnosed with RBD when I was about 14, I am now 22. I am a male and this disorder has been quite damaging to me and my house. I used to take clonezapam and it worked very well but I stopped a couple years ago because it made me always seem tired.

My dreams seem worse then any ive heard. I dont just move around in my bed or room. Ive been to the emergency room for jumping through closed windows. I Jump down full sets of stairs in one leap. Ive blown out 3 bedroom doors (Frame and all!!), Punched though walls, tv and lamps. I ahve woken up running down the street and even trying to get in my car.

Everytime I wake up by myself it takes me time to figure out if what I was going through was real or a dream.I never remember the dream vividly like most. but I do have more crazy stories then you could imagine. I just wish it would stop without the medicine. Its gotten better over the years with no medicine.

It used to happen twice a night every night, but over the last couple of years it has started diminisihing and present day it happens once a month violently. Im just worried about whats gonna happen when I get married and I have my wife in bed next to me. Im also very nervous about them saying it preceeds neorlogical [neurological] disorders.

My doctor never said anything about that when I was diagnosed. If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask and thanks for letting me talk about my problem.
