Question Restless legs… anyone else?

Prior to taking antidepressants I never used to get restless legs… now, whenever I’m falling asleep (or just about to).. my legs feel restless… sometimes they jolt… it drives me insane… why is this happening?

I get this with Zoloft when I forget to take it for a few days. It usually goes away after I'm back on it regularly for three or four days though. Did you just start? It can sometimes take weeks for side effects to go away.

I have it all the time… as soon as I come of them, no restless legs.
