Have you ever considered that your restless leg syndrome could and probably is caused by the medications that you are taking. You need to get a hold of the book called Your Drug May Be Your Problem. It is by a Doctor named Peter Breggin. This book can and will explain alot of what you have been going through. You can find a copy of this book on Amazon.com. You can also check out Dr. Breggins web site at www.breggin.com. Do your homework and you will find out for yourself that alot of these psychiatric medications cause more damage than they tell you about. They also cause symptoms that you are actually taking these drugs for in the first place. These types of drugs or neuroleptics can and do cause permanent brain damage and permanent movement disorders. These are called drug induced syndromes and are probably what you are going through right now. You most often do not see the symptoms or the damage that these medications have caused until you decrease or discontinue taking the offending medication. This is because these drugs mask the damage they are doing to you until you are no longer taking them or have cut back your dosage. Please check this stuff out. I did not and now my 5 year old little girl has suffered permanent brain damagae as a result of a neuroloptic called respirdal. Good Luck! Tammy
