Hi I was on this for a bit for migraine but it made my hot flushes worse and it didn't help migraine either. I don't remember my restless legs being worse or better. Sorry! I hope it works for you though

it is certainly one of the drugs to try. It is used also in ADHD and Tourette's (tics). It tends to be sedating - which can be good, but the daytime sedation seems to go away. Can drop blood pressure and is some will cause a headache. It may be worth getting a screening ECG - the first doctor who prescribed it for my some wanted one, the second did not.

Not what you're looking for?
