I’m considering starting remeron for depression but I do have restless legs already…..I don’t want that to get worse! How have you been and did you stay on remeron?

Good morning- I'm a mentor for the Lung Cancer and Lung health groups. I saw your post and decide to jump in. I have been depressed for ages (I'm 75 now) and have taken lots of anti-depressive meds. Right now I am taking Cymbalta and bupropion. I tried taking a larger dose of Cymbalta and no bup. but a side effect of Cymbalta is excessive sweating. Since I started sweating way too much like if I moved, I switched. It did not affect my RLS at all.

I take Ropinirole 0.5 x 4 a night. This has helped me sit still, even on long flights.

May I ask what you have taken to help calm down your restless legs?
