> I've taken combinations not unlike yours. In the past, the fluoxetine was the culprit. This time, the stimulant, in your case, Adderall, was the guilty party. I stopped taking it for a couple of weeks and then restarted it because I was feeling too groggy in the a.m. My RLS has virtually disappeared.

> Hope you find some relief soon.So are you saying that Adderall worsens restless leg syndrome or makes it better? It seems that since it increases dopamine, it might help RLS. This is all confusing. Would a different stimulant (Desoxyn, Dextroamphetamine, etc.) cause less restless leg syndrome? I've quit the Prozac (fluoxetine) and feel better already. Also: NO CAFFEINE WHATSOEVER!!!
