We
report the case of a 78 years old female patient with primary restless
legs syndrome (RLS) with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance.
In addition, the patient also had depression. We emphasize the worsening
of symptoms of RLS after the use of a selective serotonin uptake
inhibitor (mirtazapine), with improvement after the drug was
discontinued, and an excellent recovery with the use of low dose
dopaminergic agonist (pramipexol).
