A member asked:

My wife said i got out of bed last night and i was asleep?is this rbd?i have pots and small fiber neuropathy, just started gabapentin.is it rbd sleep?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What is rbd?: This could be related to the gabapentin. It depends on the dose. You need to discuss this sleepwalking with your physician. Sleep walking not commonly associated with gabapentin but you need an evaluation.
