Many causes, ask doc: There are a lot of reasons for restless legs. One to consider is that medications such as risperidone and sertraline (Risperdal and Zoloft) can cause "akathisia", a movement disorder characterized by a feeling of inner restlessness and a compelling need to be in constant motion. Whatever the cause, speak to the prescriber about it.
