Dear Ron Vetter: More and more I too am wondering if restless leg syndrome is in fact dystonia. My neurologist says it is. I will have to study this further. ......Barbara Yacos Dear Alan Bonander: I believe your friend benefitted from taking the antidepressant Wellbutrin (bupropion) for restless leg syndrome, but I am afraid of that drug. It is generally one of the last drugs to try because of its higher than usual chance of developing seizures whilst taking it. It takes 4 weeks to work and two weeks to clear out when stopped. I know that the possible side effects of every drug sounds horrendous, but I do have a negative gut reaction regarding Wellbutrin. However my ears are open for further comments....Barb Yacos
