Respiratory-related leg movements (RRLMs) may contribute to the cardiovascular risk associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), but not bupropion, increase periodic leg movements in sleep. This study examines whether patients with OSA using SSRIs have more RRLMs than those taking bupropion or no antidepressant.
