What is the best antidepressant to avoid triggering restless legs

[SueJohnson]

Wellbutrin or trazodone

[Myteamo in reply to SueJohnson]

thank you again Sue. I most appreciate you comments. I’ve been given mirtazapine, the instructions read can cause restless legs. Don’t think I should risk taking any at all.

[SueJohnson in reply to Myteamo]

I'm surprised the instructions said that but they are correct.

I'm currently on Wellbutrin, it doesn't trigger my RLS. I took mirtazapine for a short time, and I had to stop taking it . It made my RLS unbearable. I also stopped it because I couldn't stop eating. Gained a lot of weight.

thank you Chevy1957. Are you in UK. I’ve never heard of Wellbutrin here.

[SueJohnson in reply to Myteamo]

Unfortunately it is usually only prescribed for smoking cessation but some doctors will prescribe it off label which is why I give both.

Any side effects of Wellbutrin to be aware of?

I'm using SAM-e (OTC). 200mg in the morning on empty stomach. Normal dose is twice daily (400 mg). It has helped somewhat.
