Sertraline is one of the meds that can make RLS much worse. As the sertraline works well for you Mopsy, you are in the minority.

See here: rls-uk.org/#!treating-rls/czj2 and scroll down to Medications to Avoid.

Any antidepressant that is an SSRI or a tricyclic is going to make 99.9% of us worse. Mirtazapine is one of the safer ones, I take this and it is the only one that did not make me bounce off the ceiling! ;)
