I have it too but only really in bed at night . I guess im used to it as it happens when pregnant . Which i can see your not lol. If it bothers you too much maybe change the citalopram

I dont think its from the medication. I have had restless legs syndrome for years on and off. Dont take anything for it... Just get up and walk around. Make a sandwich, eat a bowl of cereal but always standing, walk for about ten minutes. Stretch etc etc. by the time i get back to bed its gone. I get it in cinemas, planes you name it. I just get up and walk...

I dont think you should take any medicine for RLS , even I have it for long time and I am managing it.

I am working as software engineer so I have to sit all time ,

specially in long meetings it is difficult to sit.

But I have never taken pills for that!!

If anyone know any technique to reduce this problemn just post it!!
