If you look at the treatment page on this website it lists all the anti-depressants and names two that are RLS friendly altho if you are in the UK then Wellbutrin is not available to be used. rlshelp.org

thankyou
Wellbutrin and Trazadone are " safe " and will not worsen RLS Mirtazapine ( Remeron ) which is the one I have will not worsen RLS for most people x
I have been taking Citalopram for 3 years now, on lowest dose and weaning off slowly, I wonder if this might affect my RLS?
I have RLS and I do take an antidepressant - Pristiq. I had RLS long before I started Pistiq and the only fix has been ropinerol. I've taken it at bedtime for a couple years now and it's a Godsend.
Not what you're looking for?
