Ive been on Celexa, Prozac, and Wellbutrin. My dr changed my meds to Cymbalta. I am not having Restless Leg Syndrome. Anyone else experience this? Does this go away?

Did you actually mean to say you ARE having restless leg syndrome? I have been prescribed cymbalta and welbutrin in low doses,

but never had restless leg syndrome. Maybe you should check with your prescribing doctor about this.

Hi

Agree with PTSD syndrome

Check with doc ,

Wish you well

Prozac and Celexa are SSRIs, Wellbutrin is for MDD & SAD. Cymbalta is an SSNRI used for MDD, GAD, Fibromyalgia and diabetic neuropathy, not RLS. Nor is it known for causing RLS that I can find at the drugs.com website, one I respect. I have RLS and it didn't become worse when I started Cymbalta and went to 90 mg per day, nor did I have to increase my dosage of Mirapex/pramipexole, which is the drug I have to take to prevent the RLS symptoms from driving me crazy. So I don't understand your reference to RLS as if Cymbalta is prescribed for it. Does your doctor prescribe Cymbalta for RLS?

For Restless Leg, I was prescribed Gabapentin which did the job. I too thought it was brought on by taking medication, in my case, Vyvanse, but now I know that is not true at all.
