      I'm asking you because I've recently been prescribed this med for anxiety but after reading all these horrible reviews and side effects on it, I'm scared to even take it. How did it make you feel while u were on it?

      Once your settled on it the drug works. When coming off it take it slow as being taken off too quick has the side effects from hell

    Hi. Restless leg syndrome is a side effect which although does not cause pain it causes involuntary movement of the legs and strange crawling sensations. Perhaps you have been moving in your sleep and not noticed which is causing the pain depending on how you have moved and position legs settled in.

      Hi. Its not something im familiar with other than restless legs. If it continues it may be best to consult doctor but everyone is different coming off this drug so it may well be an uncommon side effect.

      No problem. I recently came off this drug and had every other side effect but was taken off too quick but never had this one. Hope the doc can shed some light.
