burning legs

What is the cause of my burning legs after falling asleep?
This wakes me up. After standing for some time the burning leaves?
Please advise.

After taking any antidepressant for a certain period of them, I eventually have burning in my feet that will travel up my legs and then begin in my hands.  My doctor always takes off the antidepressant and switches to a different one.  Is there a definite relationship between antidepressants and burning legs, etc?  Is there anything that can be done about it besides not taking an antidepressant?
