Hi, Sartralin doesn't appear to exist.

If you mean sertraline, this is an SSRI antidepressant.

The SSRI antidepressants are known to make RLS worse.

You should avoid it if you can.

SSRI's usually make symptoms worse.

There are a few safe anti depressants which don’t worsen RLS for the majority. Trazodone & Wellbutrin. If you take anti depressants for anxiety, pregabalin may be better as it relieves anxiety & is also good for reducing RLS symptoms.
