Hi, i cant help you on this one as i am in the UK, and we dont have Horizant over here. Does the leaflet say it is a side effect...?? Maybe someone from the USA is taking this med and can help you...

Yes the leaflet does report this as one of it's rare side effects.My doctor has not returned my call all day so I was hoping for support somewhere.Do you ever think your doctor does not believe how severe your symptoms are?

I hope your doctor gets back to you soon, sounds as if maybe its not the med for you. I am lucky with my doctor, he listens to me and knows i have problems with RLS, i have meds that work for me at the moment.
