Antibiotics effect on RLS

I have been on Co-amoxiclav since last Friday evening (1 1/2 days) and, since then, my RLS has increased. I was wondering if this is a coincidence or whether anyone else has had problems with antibiotics

I have just recently finished two lots of antibiotics for a tooth infection, they had no effect on my RLS.

Hi, I was on these for 6 months and had no problem with them. Hope things improve soon.

It's probably not the antibiotic, but what is also used in the tablets to make it into a convenient and palatable form. From drugs.com

" Both strengths of tablets also contain microcrystalline cellulose, quinoline yellow (E104), titanium dioxide (E171), crospovidone, Povidone K25, colloidal silicon dioxide, stearic acid, polyethylene glycol 6000, methylhydroxypropylcellulose, saccharin sodium, vanilla flavour and magnesium stearate."
