A member asked:
Can mirtazapine cause rem sleep behavior disorder? if yes, can that lead to parkinsons and dementia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mirtazepine can cause drowsiness and does affect the early phases of sleep, BUT actually decreases the REM sleep phases. There is no documented contribution to a REM sleep disorder that is associated with Lewy Body Disease and/ or Parkinson's.
