Does Mirtazapine exacerbate RLS?

[SueJohnson]

Yes

Thanks Sue

Yes. It's listed on every RLS help site as triggering or worsening RLS.

Thanks Jools the feedback seems consistent I will give it a miss.

Oh yes. It was given for sleep, the same night I was hurting so bad.

Hi, sorry to buck the trend, I take it in the evening (with other meds, see previous question on Duloxetine) and have no issues. As a stand alone med it may not be the same though.

Thanks Wiggler

OMG,! Yes, absolutely! I was put on it last week. I’m also on 10mg oxycodone. I hardly knew which way up I was. Am furious with my GP for putting me on it. Mirtazapine and Oxycodone should not be prescribed together. My RLS was unbearable. All that day and night I was in a very bad state.

Absolutely yes.
