In reply to Antidepressants and restless leg syndrome, posted by Kebby on March 10, 2001, at 19:46:35
> I started taking Prozac about 9 years ago, and felt much better as a result. However, after about 6 years, I started to experience restless leg syndrome and fine hand tremors. I have tried other antidepressants subsequently, including Zoloft, Paxil, Remeron, and Celexa, and eventually have started experiencing restless leg syndrome with each one. I also take a small dose of desipramine as a prophylactic for migraines, but I am reluctant to increase this medication because of the greater number of side effects, including weight gain, with the older tricylics. I am thinking of trying Wellbutrin, and wondered if anyone had used this drug and whether they experienced the leg restlessness with it.
Mirapex has been shown to very often increase the mood benefit of SSRIs like prozac AND it is used to take away restless leg syndrome.
Ask your doctor about adding on Mirapex.AndrewB
