This is in response to Allan Netick's discussion about REM sleep behavior disorder, and only to voice a concern. You mentioned that it is treatable with a benzodiazepine, and I want to express a word of caution. While I understand, (from your description as well as Maxine's), that this can potentially be a dangerous condition, I personally feel the use of benzodiazepines for any disorder should only be initiated with a great deal of caution, due to their addiction potential. There are situations where they do make sense, but I feel the benefits must be weighed carefully against the risks. - my 2 cents worth - Barb Colmery email: [log in to unmask]
