Hi. Are you on a dopamine agonist by chance?

[hungryorca98 in reply to Hidden]

no sertraline 150g (1.5 pills)

[Hidden in reply to hungryorca98]

Hmm... ok. Can I ask if you have a neurologist?

[Hidden]

Some antidepressants have the potential to negatively interact with RLS meds. For example, Lexapro. I am on this med. No negative effects yet thank goodness, but my neurologist is keeping a close eye on everything. Why? Because Lexapro is one of those anti-depressants that can worsen RLS.

[Hidden in reply to hungryorca98]

Ok, that's fine. Have you brought up your concerns to your doctor?

I need to go, but I recommend you do this.

I think RLS is sometimes due to too much serotonin a good way to counter that is to have coffee and orange juice as they are high in dopamine which is the opposite of serotonin have them for breakfast
