> Ever since Dr EyeCandy prescribed Zoloft, I've been having trouble with fidgety feet -- I *can* stop the fidgets, but then my lower legs start to ache. This is better than while I was taking the Zoloft -- then my legs and sometimes my arms would jerk involuntarily -- but it's still very, very bothersome. For one thing, the fidgets make my toe joints ache, and for another I just HATE it!

> Has anyone else heard of something like this? Has anyone heard of SSRIs causing it? The only thing that changed when this started was trading Prozac for Zoloft, which is why I thought the Zoloft might have been the cause.

> Thank you very much!Hi, you're taking Cymbalta aren't you? I had to reduce the tiny amount I was taking by 2/3 to get my restlessness to stop. I get that from all SRI meds. Zoloft caused the worst RL problems for me. My sister is on Prozac and she tells me that she practically has to "sit on her legs" to get them to stop.
