Trintilex 20 mg exacerbating RLS, antidepressants that don't

[atwitsendd]

Does anyone know if the antidepressant Trintilex exacerbates RLS. I'm on 20 mg. Does anyone know which antidepressants are okay with RLS.

Thanks,

Trintilex is an SSRI antidpressant and all of these are known to make RLS worse.

There are some antidepressants known to be safer for RLS, but these aren't necessarily any better for anxiety/depression.

I can only recall 2. Trazodone is one, but has some adverse side effects. Bupropion is another, available as "wellbutrin" in the US.

Yeah I mentioned trazodone to my doctor but he said it's more of a sedative so that's out. I'll check on the bupropion. Thanks.

Try a combo of saffron and milkthistle if your depression is like entry level.

I second Manerva’s advice.
