Hi all. My wife has PLMD ever since coming off Citalopram that results in her having a poor sleep quality and me often having to decamp to the spare room π. GP has given her Amyltriptaline that we are very uneasy about using due to poor feedback Iβve read. We are due to see different GP soon and we will be requesting a DA as an alternative medication. Which one do you feel is most effective?
(PS she is taking iron supplements daily even though blood tests indicate no deficiency)
You are correct, very few RLS sufferers can take amitriptyline without it making their symptoms much, much worse. On the RLS-UK website it is listed as one of the medications to avoid. rls-uk.org/treatment/
