> Do MAOI's contribute or exasperate symptoms of RLS, PLM, or Sleep Apnea like SSRI's do?
having RLS, PLMD and sleep apnea myself, I never found any ssri's to make it worse, but I have never tried MAOI's. Maybe that was due to the fact that I was on benzo's, for some of the time, either valium or rivotril/klonopin, which stops it for me, but i wasn't on them the entire time.
I did notice anti psychotics, OTC sleep aids and alcohol made it way worse. That was before I was diagnosed and didn't know that they can really trigger it off in some people, so do older style anti histamines. The ones that make you drowsy like benadryl etc...
