> have been taking 30mg of paxil and 200mg wellbutrin for ocd/depression for six weeks. I developed this uncontrolable urge to move especially when Im at rest. At night I'll lay there and just want to kick my legs something awfull. The drugs help my ocd/depression but this is intolerable. I have a feeling its ssri induced rls, but not sure. solutions/answers much appriciated.
Hi:
Sounds like it may be possibly also a bit of Akathesia, but regardless, you should get to a doctor asap. A benzodiazepine would work very well to calm this, esp since you are on fairly high doses of antidepressants. You should not just have to 'live' with it, as it is very detracting to your quality of life and mental health.
Good luck..
Jay
