Horizant vs Nuerontin

[dailygrump40]

My new insurance won't cover Horizant. Because it's Gabapentin in an extended release. At least that was how it was explained to me. So I gotta go back to Gabapentin. When I was last on Gaba I was at 3600 mg a day. Horizant is only 1200 mgs a day and it works so much better. My PCP is who is controlling the script now and is putting back on it at 1200 mgs a day. Because that's what I take of Horizant so I should be fine. It's gonna be hell for who knows how long.

Did you appeal the decision? I too took massive amounts of neurontin before I got Horizant. My insurance company denies it every year, and I have to appeal and explain why I need the Horizant. Explain how long you have been on Horizant, and that you need an absurd amount of gabapentin without it. I have to appeal the denials of most of my meds every year. There is a Manufacturers Coupon for Horizant that lowers your copay, but you can only use it when you have insurance coverage.

Call the insurance company and don’t give up!
