Dad talks in his sleep a lot. Is this a side effect of meds? What can be done to help this?

One of the common non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's is REM Behavior Disorder (RBD). Symptoms typically included vivid dreams, acting out dreams (movement which can include hitting and punching) and vocalization (which includes talking, shouting or screaming). If you really think it's a problem, (hurting himself or someone else or preventing sleep) you should speak to his doctor about it because there are meds available.

I won't tell about breaking a bone in my foot as I kicked the wall while fighting with a Mountain Lion that I wanted out of my house. Thanks for the entertainment PD.

When my husband started dreaming that he was playing the center position on his college football team again after 50 years, he knew he needed something to control the violent blocks and tackles he was throwing during his dreams. His neurologist prescribed clonazapan and now he's just a spectator watching the game, not playing it. It works wonders for him!
