Restless leg syndrome caused by celexa withdrawal?

[baaaby11]

After taking Celexa (generic) for a little less than a year, I decided to quit cold turkey 2 weeks ago. Although I know weening from medication is the best idea, I wanted off Celexa quickly. I have had the usual withdrawal symptoms you'd expect (dizziness, nausea, headache, etc) but what I did not expect was the symptoms of restless leg syndrome. It is TERRIBLE. Is it possible to get RLS symptoms because of Celexa withdrawal or do you think it's unrelated?

I have not spoken to my doctor yet. I have had RLS symptoms for about a week now.

Thanks for the post.

I know that withdrawing from opiates causes severe rls making it impossible to sleep. And when I withdrew from xanax quickly I also had the nausea, dizziness etc but the rls was the worst. Not sure about celexa but I'm sure its possible and very probable that the withdrawl is causing it.
