I tried ropinarole but it didn’t agree with me. Since then, gabapentin helps. And I do take a SSNI anti-depressant (Cymbalta) and Buspar. I do not drink alcohol.
I used to think “how bad can RLS be?” but now I know—plenty bad.
Ugh that sounds awful.
The issue isn't with antidepressants, its with drugs that depress your nervous system like a benzo.

Do you have a really bad case? You are not able to drink or use any other depressant medication’s while on GABA.
Hmm. My psychiatrist says differently.
In fact gabapentin is often used as an adjunct with SSRIs.
Depressants NOT antidepressants.
This poster is why you should never take this forum seriously. Anyone can spew nonsense like this.

I'll take my advice from someone who can actually put a sentence together, thanks though.

WHAT DEPRESSANTS?? They don't exist.
You are misinformed. CNS (central nervous system) depressants such as benzodiazepines, barbiturates and sedatives are known to be a high risk for interactions with gabapentin.
No one, and I mean no one, refers to them as depressants. You made a goof and now you're doubling down. Do better.

That is 100% wrong. My psychiatrist prescribed Gabapentin along with Celexa, Buspar and Wellbutrin.

It doesn't say ANTIdepressant! Its says depressants like alcohol!
Actually, it says "depressant medication's." Alcohol is not a medication. I'd love to know what depressant medication's (that's not plural BTW) there are because I'm not aware of any. And yes, you can drink on Gabapentin (the actual name), but probably shouldn't.

Iron supplements help me a lot, even if I’m not anemic. (My iron stores are usually slightly low or right at the lower limit of normal though, not sure if it would help if all iron studies were norm.)
