Restless legs, anyone?

[Naro1]

Hi to all citalopram users!

Have any of you experience restless legs (or arms) as a side effect? I am having some for the past few days and I've read some SSRI's can cause this.

Please share your experience, how soon will it pass?

Thanks, and good day to you all!

Hi to all!

I have posted this question under citalopram forum and wonder if any of you flouxetine users experience this as side effect? I've read that some SSRI's can cause this but I have read a lot of threads here too without any mention of this particular side effect.

Anybody? How soon did this pass in your experience?

Thanks! And btw I was on floux too for 10days but my gp adviced to stop and see a psych! My psych changed the prescription to citalopram!

yes and still do , but always had as I have agitated depression , even in my sleep my legs constantly on the move and rubbing feet etc

Same here Bignik! Im glad I am not alone. Mine started with unconciously rubbing my feet together. And I noticed while at rest, my legs seem to move on its own. Constant twitches too at random parts from thigh down!

I hope others with similar experience chime in too!

Good day to all!

I had heavy arms which lasted 2 days

Yes, I definitely get this! Especially when I first wake up, I can't keep my legs still! So annoying when I'd really like to go back to sleep, haha!

I'm glad you found my tip helpful for restless legs. Just for the record I'm a 'she' not a 'he' though!

Sure!

Thanks Nicola, I'm just glad to know that it will wear off to!

Elad, I like to walk on cold floors but havent tried soaking feet in cold water!

Hey Lizerie, I've been following your diary and progress! Any relief from restless legs yet?

Have a good day all!
