Stopped Trazodone and RLS is GONE!!

Chocolatelover1211 profile image

I read on Drugs.com I believe, that Trazodone can cause RLS symptoms. Since I was only taking it to help me sleep for the past 3 years, I stopped taking it. I can use another Rx for sleep. Well, the RLS went away after about a week. It’s now been months and the RLS has not returned!! So for anyone who is taking Trazodone, check in with your doctor to see if you can take another Rx for sleep. It’s truly a miracle!!

Thanks for letting us know. I believe Trazodone is reported on here as safe for RLS but clearly not in all cases.

That’s great news. I had a weird reaction to trazodone too that i seldom hear about; it caused extreme nasal stuffiness. So strange!

Glad you figured this out! Congrats!
