To quickly access health information from your website's browser, download Menacing REM Behavior Disorder I act out my REM Disorder Behavior violently in most episodes I experience. They all occur while trying to scape an atack from a vicious animal or an out of control person. I have broken my nose, my face and my front head, as well as hurt my wrists. In addition, I used to attack my ex-wife. She divorced me as a consequence. I loved her, and still do. The episodes almost always end with a trip by me to ER for some needed medical attention. One more thing, last night, I destroyed one drawer of one of the dressers (with no mirrors) located next to the side of the bed from which I get out of it. Looking at it this morning, is obvious that the force I used to do it was sufficient to kill a person or myself. The occurance of the episodes are not predictable. I AM TERRIBLE SCARE After having seen many doctors to no avail, I finally found one who took the time to study my case and able to diagnose the symtom. He prescribed Clonazepan. Actually,.05 mg That dose was too strong. It gave me unbearable headaches. In consultlation with the doctor I take now only half of the pill the side effect of which is bearable. I cannot say much about the effectiveness of the high dose because I took only for two days. The smaller dose seems to reduce the frequency of the symtom. I AM TERRIBLY SCARE. DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND MORE EFFECTIVE, INCLUDING A GOOD DOCTOR? PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN. Thanks, Comments
