I read today that it can be caused by antipsychotics. I take small doses of Seroquel and Risperdal for bp 2. Until April I took 400 mg of Seroquel a day, now I'm down to 100 mg of Seroquel with 1.0 mg Risperdal. It's not listed as a side effect of either drug.
Does anyone else have this problem?

I've noticed some RLS myself, especially while sitting watching a movie or having dinner. at night in bed it gets worse. I don't get tingling though. have you thought of getting looked at for neuropathy? my mother has that and she complains about the same issues and she has RLS just as bad. they prescribed her gabapentin.
