Dox,
what you are experiencing is called 'Restless Leg Syndrom'. You can google it on the internet & learn a lot more about it as there are many sites that talk about it.
I also have been on meds that seem to cause it & when I stop & get the med out of my system, the restless leg feeling goes away. Much of the restless leg issues can be a lack of iron in your system also. Don't know if the Prozac helps you any & you might add an iron suppliment to see if that can counter the effect.
I googled "Prozac Restless leg' & it sounds like there are many people who seem to experience the restless leg syndrome in relation to their taking of Prozac. I don't know but for me, if the prozac really doesn't seem to be helping any with your mood, I doubt that I would want to start taking something else just to stop the leg issue.
I hate it when I take one med & it causes another problem that causes me to take another med to deal with that.....it just keeps on going which is why so many people in their older age end up on sometimes over a dozen prescriptions a day just to manage the side effects caused by another med which ended up being causes by another entirely different med......then sometimes when the original med is stopped, soo the other meds are forgotten about why they were being taken & one keeps taken them even though the original med may not even be taken any more.....ugh......I have had too many problems with meds, so I am not one that is in favor of them unless they are really making a difference in the quality of life.....that is my determining point....only if my quality of life is being improved will I continue taking a med.
Prozac , then the following Wellbutrin for me caused excessive weight loss & anorexia.....a whole other issue all together
