F J Sanz-Fuentenebro et al. Acta Psychiatr Scand. 1996 Dec.

Abstract

Restless legs syndrome is a frequent dyssomnia with well-known clinical features but uncertain origin and treatment. This paper describes a case of restless legs syndrome worsened by paroxetine. A possible pathogenic hypothesis related to the attributed neurochemical properties of the drug is proposed.
