I forgot to mention something and saw it after I read a few of these posts... I take alot of medicine the last few years..like lexapro (a new antidepressant) concerta (to keep me awake and lower my appetite from the lexapro) norvasc for blood pressure and prilosec for stomach problems, wow do i sould like a walking medicine cainet or what? Do you think any of these could be aggravating the RLS? And....shoild I ask the dr what to take in the form of vitamins or just do it myself?
thank you so much for being here, wow I feel better already just knowing there are others out there like me!
take care, Robin H

Hi. One of the things you're on that jumped out at me was Prilosec. I was on it for years, then switched to Nexium because of insurance. Same drug though. And I've often wondered if being on that for a long period of time could have brought about the RLS. Hopefully you'll get other replies and maybe you'll find an association with the drug.
