I switched from Sertraline to Wellbutrin. I didn't think it was affecting me negatively but didn't want to take any chance in my search to lessen my RLS symptoms. But I think Sertraline helped depression but also OCD tendencies.
What is the best OCD med for a person with RLS too ?

It took me years to discover my SSRI (citalopram) aggravated my RLS. For a while I used Wellbutrin (bupropion) but it has a strong stimulant effect on me (agitation). According to several postings in this forum the following are possible meds to look into for yourself - I do not have any personal experience with any of these drugs. Moclobemide (MAO inhibitor); reboxetine (not available in the US), tianeptine (not available in the US); agomelatine; Trazodone; Norpramin (desipramine).
