Alongside my antidepressant and antipsychotic, I’m prescribed Promethazine for anxiety/insomnia.
Within 20-30 minutes of taking the evening dose of promethazine, I get really bad restless legs.
It’s constant for a good few hours, and no amount of exercise, movement or stretching eases it up at all. Some nights I’m in bed in tears absolutely exhausted but unable to sleep for hours on end. Which then makes the following day worse as I’m shattered before I’ve even began my day.
Has anyone else experienced this or been prescribed anything different that I might be able to look into as an alternative?
