Is there an antidepressant that does NOT cause RLS?

I’ve only read recently that some antidepressants including Zoloft can cause RLS. My doctor doesn’t think this is possible. I’ve been taking them for 20 yrs. This last week I’ve left them off and I’m taking 300mg of Gabapentin. We’ll see how this goes. Maybe I could go back to 50mg after a while instead of 100. I have read that escitalopram does not cause RLS but I don’t know.

I can not answer your question about anti depression med and RLS, but by doctor recently prescribed Gabapentin for RLS due to sleep issues and it definitely helped.

Do you have problems sleeping?
