Unfortunately, patients start out with the " magic words " with the complaint: " Doc, I am having trouble sleeping at night....... " and that is about as far as they get and the doc immediately starts thinking this guy/gal is depressed and viola......Rx for antidepressants. And we all know that most antidepressants are not helpful; in fact, they usually make our RLS worse. Woe is me...... Sleep deprivation is very depressing, if you know what I mean. RAINBOWPED@...
