Vortioxetine however it is on RLS-UK's not safe for RLS yet some find it is OK and also the buprenorphine might override it if it would otherwise make RLS worse.

I take a supplement called 5htp its the best antidepressant i have ever used and I have been on a few. It doesnt seem to affect my restless legs but sue might know if it can make thinsg worse in some people.

To help for sleeping I can recommend Tryptophan instead of 5htp. But both work way weaker than trazodone. You can try it but should consider Wellbutrin as antidepressant during the day.
