Mental health meds and Restless leg syndrome

[Starrlight]

my primary doc is weaning me off Paxil because he says I’m having rls fue to the combo of meds I’m taking and I feel ‘off’ in my head and more anxious but if this change will help my rls I can handle this unless mental health starts feeling worse. I was doing good. If it gets any worse I’ll go back on and deal with rls. Anyone in similar boat? Will post on rls too.

I remember you talking about your restless leg symptoms years ago. I'm so glad to hear that something is being trialed in an attempt to eliminate the restless legs.

I hope this works for you

You remember? Wow 😮 yup I hope it works. Thanks!!! My primary doc said to contact him if I am anxious. Well I am but not too bad so I’ll wait and see. If it gets worse I’ll have to call him.

That's a good plan. Pay attention to how you feel and follow what he says. I hope this works

[Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14]

Thanx

Yes if it works and I can get off a med without a problem it’s double good.

True, but if not you gave it a shot. That's all you can do

[Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14]

True but I’ll have to keep giving shots because I can’t take the RLS anymore it’s torture

Changing meds is a big deal, we know those. Side effects and symptoms etc. You are a fighter and if this is what they think is happening I know you are going to die everything in your power, safely, to rid your self of those legs 🦵
