Translated by: Joe Hing kwok Chu    按此看中文  (in English and Chinese 中英文)

 

Restless leg syndrome is a nervous system disorder that resulted in the urge to move the legs. It may come with the feeling of creepiness in the skin and involuntary movement of the legs.

Antipsychotics , such as:

  • haloperidol (Haloperidol) or

  • phenothiazine derivatives.

  • antidepressants: increase serotonin drugs ,

    Celexa (citalopram)

  • Fluvoxamine maleate, Luvox (fluvoxamine)

4 dysfunction circuits by using amine neurotransmitters dopa God basal ganglia [ 1 ]
5 Lack of vitamin B12
6. Traumatic brain injury

Below are commonly used drugs for restless leg syndrome (RLS) and periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD)

 

Drugs being used for RLS and PLMD

Dopamine agonists:

L-dopa, carbidopa (Sinemet)

pergolide mesylate (Permax)

pramipexole (Mirapex)

ropinirole (Requip)

Benzodiazepines

clonazepam (Klonopin)

gabapentin (Neurontin)

Opioids (narcotics):

Note:

Dopamine agonists stimulate the receptors in nerves in the brain that normally would be stimulated by dopamine. Unlike levodopa, a dopamine agonist is not changed (converted) into dopamine when it enters the body, but it behaves like dopamine.

  • Benzodiazepine works by decreasing abnormal electrical activity in the brain.

  • Carbamazepine is used alone or in combination with other medications to control certain types of seizures.

  • Pergolide msylate (Permax) has been withdrawn from the U.S. market since March 29, 2007 due to the possibility of heart valve damage.  It is used to treat Parkinson's disease, hyperprolactinemia, stiffness, tremors, spasms, and poor muscle control, and restless leg syndrome.
