I had minor surgery a couple weeks ago. It required anesthetic. Also gave something for nausea and for itching. In recovery the restless legs ws worse that’s the pain. Does anesthetic worsen restless legs? Does nausea medication ? Does anti itch medicine?

Medications to treat nausea can worsen RLS symptoms. This class of drugs includes: Anitvert, Atarax, Benadryl, Bonine, Compazine, Phenergan, Thorazine, Tigan, Trilafon and Vistaril, Zantac.

Don't know about anti-itch meds as such, but anti-histamines can trigger RLS

I had metaclopromide anti nausea med and it sent my legs through the roof. Never known anything like it. Also got tremors for several months after.

I use Claritin for the itchiness that I get from Methadone. That is safe too.
