I had veeeeeery severe rss after a lifetime of being fit as a flea . I'd walk miles at night and it often brought me close to tears with torment BUT a freind said it could be .... I stopped my anti depressants , can't remember which , and three or four days later it was gone never to return. I'd stop ALL other medications in case yours is a reaction to something individual to you . Ver very best of luck .

That figures-- antidepressants are notorious triggers for rls.

Be careful telling people to stop all medication- some meds are life supporting and absolutely essential.

Very good list of meds to avoid for rls on this site

rls-uk.org

Good luck.

Madlegs ,I didn’t know antidepressants would make my legs worse and I have met others with fibromyalgia who suffer with it .Good advice on not stopping all meds ,some have to be withdrawn carefully .im going to check out that list .xx😇

Congratulations on finding your solution, long may your legs be quiet. My D tried antidepressants with me bt they drove my RLS crazy after a day or two. I'm not a fan of those drugs anyway but desperate times call for desperate measures.
