Hi everyone I've been really struggling lately. I'm BP and RBD and I've been on Lamictal Prozac for the bipolar for many years and on clonazapam for the sleep disorder. I'm wondering if anyone is getting any relief from the vibrant dreams on some of the newer bipolar medicines that are out?

Hi Rossco, welcome!

I had to look up RBD. For others this is what I found:
People with REM Behavior Disorder (RBD) act out vivid dreams as they sleep.

How long have you had this disorder, and how are you managing now? It sounds like it would be very difficult to deal with :hug:

Is your bipolar disorder under control?

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you regarding the new mood stabilizers and RBD, but I didn't want your post to go unanswered.

I take klonipin to sleep, no bad dreams though.....
I also take geodon and lamictal.

Bizi,

Don't you have restless legs syndrome?

yes kay, I do and the klonipin helps with that too.:)

I have it too but the klonopin doesn't help. I don't have it all the time. I usually sleep on the floor when it happens.

I have had it before but am not sure if it was hypomania that really aggravated it.

Welcome and like Bizi said.
Pull up a chair and your favorite drink or food.
