Abstract
Restless legs syndrome is a frequent dyssomnia with well-known clinical features but uncertain origin and treatment. This paper describes a case of restless legs syndrome worsened by paroxetine. A possible pathogenic hypothesis related to the attributed neurochemical properties of the drug is proposed.
