Levodopa (Madopar) for fatigue/RLS relief.

Posted by ben on January 23, 2002, at 10:10:35

Hi

I tried Levodopa to Paxil because of restless legs (unclear diagnosis yet) from Sept.- December 62.5 mg up to 125 mg at night. It is still unclear if I have RLS or periodic limb movements (PLS) so we decided to tapper of it. Now I am off (for 2 weeks) and feel more fatigue and depressed in the morning and during the day. The problem is that I had to come off Paxil too (from 30 mg in 6 weeks) because I developped a bad liver reaction (like a hepatitis) from Paroxetine. My liver is okay since I am off ! Could the Madopar have been an interesting augmentation adjunct to the SSRIs or do I really have RLS/PLS ? I read of dopamine depletion under long term SSRI treatment ! Should I go back to Madopar ??? At the moment I try Aurorix but dont feel stimulated !
