AD and restless legs
I've been on AD now for over 2 months. After the initial reactions to going on the meds I felt great. My anxiety and panic was at a level where I could go back to work. But in the last few weeks I've developed restless legs esp during the night, and early morning. Has anyone else had this and how did you go? I'm hoping it will pass, as I said for my other issues they have been really helpful.

Re: AD and restless legs
Hi @Yellow are the restless legs something you have mentioned to the GP or a known side effect of the AD you're taking? Sometimes ADs can take 6-8 weeks to start working. I would definitely make a GP appointment if it is affecting your sleep. As a good night's sleep is so important to self-care and staying well with MH.

Re: AD and restless legs
Hi @Yellow
I have a REM Sleep disorder had it checked out with a sleep clinic and take meds for it at night. I think it is allies wise to get things checked with GP and specialists if required.
cheers
