A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer
SSRI can cause RLS: Ssri can cause RLS symptoms sometimes, the solution either to treating the symptoms with Dopamine agonist like Mirapex and Requip (ropinirole) or change the citalopram to different antidepressant if possible. Also it is important to do routine work up for restless leg syndrome including cbc, renal and ferritin level.
