Question:
Doctor, How do nervous leg spasms relate to depression/anxiety?
I have spasms in leg every night and it interferes with sleep. I
currently take 150mg of Effexor daily. What are your suggestions?
Thank you.
Dr. Heller's Answer:
Restless leg syndrome can be worsened by stress and can cause
anxiety and depression due to sleep deprivation. Iron deficiency is
a common cause. Benzodiazepine tranquilizers such as Klonopin and
Ativan are frequently necessary to control the symptoms. Aside from
treating the depression, Effexor is unlikely to be of much benefit.
