SSRI and SNRIs can mke restless legs worse.
This is due to their negative effects on dopamine in
The brain.

Google "SSRI drugs movement disorder" and you will
Find these explanations. Time on the drug is typically 6 months
Or so before the movement problems arise. They start in the
Face and neck and in some patients may cause leg cramps
Or restless legs.
