Horizant - has anyone had any good results

I started taking Horizant almost two months ago and do not see any positive results. I find it doesn't stop my RLS so I am back to taking percocet as it is the only thing that stops it. Has anyone here tried Horizant and what is your experience?

Were you taking a dopamine antagonist before switching to Horizant?

Unfortunately it did not help me much either, and I seemed to feel a bit down on it. Got off and switched to a low dose of pregabalin (Lyrica).

Does the Lyrica work for you? How do you take it?
