Three patients with REM behavior disorder whose nocturnal symptoms were markedly improved by treatment with the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor donepezil are reported. Donepezil may have a role in the treatment of REM behavior disorder, possibly through its actions on cholinergic pathways in the brainstem.
