Hello @rwlovell and welcome to Mayo Connect. I see that you are experiencing side effects of a medicine you have taken. I'm sure this must be difficult as it is interfering with your sleep. Perhaps some of our members will relate to this experience and respond to your situation. In the meantime, I was wondering if you have you talked with your doctor regarding this side effect and if he/she feels that this will be temporary or not? Teresa

Hello @rwlovell I've been thinking about you. As I recall you had a doctor's appointment scheduled for Monday. I hope that all went well. Are you sleeping any better now? Teresa

Thanks for replying! We have talked to the doctor on the phone, but the only advice at this point is: stop taking the new drug for now and go back to your former protocol. I did that last night. Still had the RLS, but maybe not as bad. Still kept me awake until about 4:30 AM. Ugh. I have an appointment on Monday. In the meantime....two more nights to go until then and now without the stronger antidepressant -- back to citalaphram.
