Best antidepressants

Post by mafs »

My Dr has me on 150mg Effexor Xr a day. Thanks to many members here I have learnt that they make RLS symtoms worse.

Can anyone advice me on a good antidepressant that won't effect my legs.

Take care

Gayl, www.rlshhelp.org is the best place for med help. He posts extensive info on all the ADs (and other drugs we use to treat RLS) and tells which ones may work best if you need an AD. I bookmarked that site so I can head to it frequently!

Effexor has also been talked about recently a few times. If you weren't in on those threads, you can probably find them pretty easily. If I remember, several people chimed in about how bad it was and what they found that worked.
