Q: Can Crestor Cause Restless Leg Syndrome.

I have been taking Crestor for about 3 months and I have recently developed restless legs and the associated insomnia at night. I have had RLS once before when I was taking Wellbutrin and these are the same symptoms.

Hi Barbara,

 

Restless leg syndrome is a neurological disorder. Crestor does have side effects that impact the nervous system. I recommend discussing with your physician.

 

All the best,
