RLS related to Panic Disorder?

Hello,

I have panic attacks, mostly mild now, which come and go. I have had Restless Leg Syndrome for a couple of years. Has anyone heard of these two - RLS and anxiety disorder - being related? If so, would shifting medication help?

Thank you.

Hello & welcome to our community. I hope you'll stick around & join in our discussions.


I have read alot of material on anxiety disorders & have not seen restless leg syndrome mentioned. I have a couple of friends that suffer from RLS & they don't have anxiety that I know of. That does NOT mean that there isn't some sort of correlation. I want to find you the best, most accurate info. Please give me a little time to get back to you. In the meantime, we're so happy to have you here. We care about you & want you to learn how to cope with panic. It is possible. Good luck & GBU! (((hugs))) jan

Hi! I didn't forget about you. Though I have looked around the 'net quite a bit, this is all I could come up with. It was recently posted on iVillage. http://health.ivillage.com/brain/0,,wbnews_8dvsff2f,00.html?nlcid=c|500,23770
