> Yeah. It seems that RLS is on the rise. I never remember it being big say 10 years back. Perhaps its rise paralells the increase in SSRI use.
I bet you're right on that one.
Also, perhaps it was around much more than we thought a decade ago, but didn't come to prominence until drugs to combat it were more heavily marketed.
> SSRI's can cause a host of 'bedtime' issues. Loss of interest/ability to have sex as well as insomnia and RLS.
Tell me about it. Early morning awakening on fluoxetine is hideous.
That said, the slightly reduced sensitivity and delayed climax during sex has actually been quite useful (not that I'm likely to have sex at any point in the near future due to recent events!).
