Prozac and Restless Legs at night

Posted by mshrink66 @mshrink66, Aug 5, 2024

I started generic Prozac 10 mg two weeks ago and have developed very restless legs at night. Emailed my doctor about it and has suggested taking Trazadone before bed. I really hate having to take another medication to treat the side effects of another one!! My question is…has the restless leg syndrome ever just improved on its own with time for anyone? Maybe once I’ve fully adjusted to the medicine? Thanks for any feedback!

Is buprenorphine a prescription medicine?
Is it expensive?
I'm older than you, and take only pramipexole for my RLS (0.50 MG).

Hello
I am tapering off paxil onto Prozac. Initially I had restless legs but they are no longer a problem. I think I anticipated this and my Psychiatrist told me it could happen. I took nothing for it. I’m hoping Prozac will work for me. Paxil for many years did but then, at age 78 I felt I was in too much, 35 mg, and didn’t like the way I had felt for a long time
