Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,

Thank you for your query.

First of all i would like to know since when you are having restless leg syndrome and since when you are taking alternate day Feliz s tablet?

is there any other medication you are taking except anti hypertensive anti diabetic.?

restless leg syndrome may be due to Escitalopram induced or it may be different entity so we need to identify that or it may due to anxiety also.

Have you done any investigation like MRI or CT scan?
Awaiting your response.

Thank you
