Re: Prozac/rls

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I am in the process of switching from Prozac to Zoloft

for this very reason - Prozac is supposed to be the

worst antidepressant in terms of exacerbating RLS

(info from my neurologist who is an expert in RLS).

That doesn't mean that everyone who has RLS is going

to experience worsening of their symptoms if they take

Prozac, but apparently a significant number of people

do.

I will try and remember to let you all know what

happens with my RLS as I get the Prozac out of my

system.

I know that everyone is different, but I do not think that there is

much difference in Prozac &

Zoloft when it comes to RLS. They both bothered me, but the Zoloft

especially made me crazy. I really think it's the old " different strokes

for different folks " thing. Prozac, Paxil. Zoloft, &

Effexor all made me worse. Serzone did not make my RLS worse, but it

made me so sick I could not continue. I TRY to run at least every other

day and this helps keep the depression at bay. If I felt it coming on,

(the depression) I would take an anti-dep., if it was necessary to keep

me out of the " pit " . That's a real " catch 22 " . To stay " undepressed " or

stay " unrestless " .
