Restless Leg Syndrome

I was tested for restless leg syndrome. My dr asked if I was taking antihistamines ( which I took on and off). For me-every time I took BENADRYL my legs would get 'restless' and my muscles would tighten and cramp up. By not taking it I was fine. Odd huh!! Lynn

Interesting Lynn! This happens to me too when I take Benadryl.....many people don’t believe that it isn’t helpful for me since it makes them drowsy. I think it might go back to the fact that we are all so different, and some of us are sensitive to certain drugs and others are not. This is what makes dealing with RLS so confusing and complex, at least for me.
