Worth a Try: Both Prozac and Paxil belong to the same gropun of drugs called SSRI.But are different compounds.You can try it and see if it does not give the same side effect

Suggest seeing neurologist to assist in restless leg management. Regarding SSRI's, unclear if this category should be continued, as could well continue to be a problem. This may need direct doctor to doctor collaboration.
