Restless legs syndrome is generally treated with benzodiazepines, dopamine agonists or opioids; however, it is often resistant to these drugs. Here we report a case of restless legs syndrome that was successfully treated with quetiapine. The patient was a 17-year-old woman. Although her symptoms were not improved by treatment with clonazepam or cabergoline, the additional administration of quetiapine, one of the second-generation antipsychotic drugs, induced remarkable improvement in her symptoms. Although antipsyochotic drugs sometimes induce or complicate restless legs syndrome, this case seems to suggest that quetiapine can be effective on restless legs syndrome.
