Dear Sal, Go to new to RLS and read the sticky posts. Does your husband match the criteria for RLS? Yes untreated RLS can lead to depression, anxiety, I know first hand, and I was mis-diagnosed for many years. RLS in itself can run deeper than just the creepy crawly feelings, some of us experience a...

You certainly spoke the truth in that statement. That is why it is so important to continue to stress to our doctors, others, that studies indicate that people with chronic illness seldom become addicted to their medications, nor abuse them, they may become dependant which is entirely different.
