title: The Effect of Atomoxetin Use in the Treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder on the Symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome: A Case Report.
abstract: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is frequently accompanied with sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea, periodic limb movement disorder, restless legs syndrome (RLS), and circadian rhythm disorder. We have limited information about the effects of medical therapies used in the treatment of ADHD on RLS. This article discusses the effects of atomoxetine treatment on both disorders in a patient followed by diagnoses of ADHD and RLS.
