Horizant

I have been taking Horizant and Ropinole for a month now. It appears to be working. However, I have trouble taking Horizant at 5pm with food which is how it is prescribed. Does anyone know why you have to take food with Horizant?

Thanks for the help. I cannot get my doctor to call me back. If anyone knows of a RLS/WPMD specialist in Northern California, please let me know.

I suspect you are still suffering augmentation.

This is a UK website but we do have some info about US experts.

Dr Mark Buchfuhrer is one of the best RLS specialists in the world & he’s based in Redwood California.

I have been taking both Requip and Horizant for about a year. I do take it at 5 daily but not necessarily with food. BUT MAY I SAY, Horizant has caused me considerable weight gain! Like 27#’s worth!It snuck up on me, but sneak it did!
