I suffer from idiopathic rls since last 1.5 years & have had anxiety issues since several years. i have tried different anxiety meds. but all of those aggravates my rls badly. i am on lyrica 75 for rls but what are my treatment options for anxiety?

Trust that your Lyrica is controlling the RLS. Since this drug is metabolized mainly via the kidney, and has almost no cytochrome, or drug-drug interactions, numerous anti-anxiety medications could be chosen. Visit your doctor and discuss appropriate strategies.
