Default Clonazepam for REM sleep disorder/seizures

Hello Everyone,
Hope you are all having a good day. I have been taking 1.0 mg of clonazepam a night for REM sleep behavior disorder and nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy for two months now. It has been giving me more dreams/bad dreams and feel like I am getting no sleep. Do you think I should try to go down to .5 mg of clonazepam and see if that helps? Or should I try lorazepam? I have taken a few lorazepam in the past and it worked great for good sleep with no dreams. I need sleep bad without these dreams. What do you all recommend?
Thanks so much for any suggestions,
Brain
