Horizant
It appears that
Horizant
has the best overall profile of the gaba-related drugs. Can anyone please describe your experience with it? I am interested in RLS symptom reduction of course, but also on sleep quality and duration as well as lifestyle impact ( sedation effects, etc). Thank you.

Horizant
I'm wondering if
Horizant
is the same as Pregabalin? I guess it is a stronger version of gabapentin. I have tried it and it seems to work pretty good for me.

Horizant versus pregabalin / gabapentin dosage effectiveness
....I've recently switched from pregabalin 200mg to
Horizant
- which I'm taking 300-600mg. Prior to that, I've used as much as 1800mg gabapentin.

Hubby's RLS
He was on 2
Horizant
pills when we first saw him and he has changed his meds a few times since then. We just went back and he wants him to continue the two
Horizant
pills and is slowly adding methadone. Right now we have just started a 2.5 mg. pill along with the two horizants.

Horizant timing
I take my
Horizant
at 5 PM with a meal (preferably with some fat to expedite release). Here's my question, I also have gastroparesis (slowing the emptying of the stomach after eating). Has anyone tried taking their
Horizant
earlier in the day to avoid the late evening breakthroughs?

Horizant problem
Is anyone taking more than 600 mg of
Horizant
? I’ve been on it for around three years but now it’s starting to wear off after 12 hours while it is supposed to last 24 hours.

Horizant and Gabapentin
I just saw her, and she switched me to
Horizant
per the recommendations of Dr. San at Vanderbilt.

Low dose Ropinorol
Would
Horizant
work better than gabapentin using an equivalent dosage?

Iron infusion flopped
Horizant
, which is supposed to last 24 hours only controls my RLS for about 16 to 18 hours and then I get symptom bleed through. I was hoping that at least I could have eliminated that much.

My Gabapentin Dilemma
But I’m not sure if the Pregabalin is to replace the
Horizant
, the Gabapentin, or both. Needless to say, I’m very skeptical that the Pregabalin will work any better than Gabapentin and/or
Horizant
since they are all a form of gabapentin.

Good News!!!
I have to discontinue the
horizant
though which surprised me and of course discontinue the oxycodone. Hopefully now you won't have to listen to me complaining and I will be telling you happy things. I am praying. I have never prayed so much in my life!!!

For those taking methadone, do you think it affects your sleep quality?
Mirapex nearly 2 years ago, my current meds are 0.125 mg Mirapx, 600 mg
Horizant
, and 10 mg methadone. Eventually I hope to taper the Mirapex to zero.

Weaning off mirapex
LotteM suggested I keep taking the
Horizant
and take a tiny dose of mirapex with it for 2-3 weeks. I'm okay with that since I still have some mirapex. I hate to do this without talking to my dr. But she is on vacation for a week. You have all been so helpful.

Can't believe I did this
Doing internet search, it appears that may
Horizant
might be next step and cutting back on the Sinemet? Also, I've been on Ativan 1.5 mg per day for last 30 years. Has anyone heard that this might be part of this RLS thing? Any help would be appreciated.

Transitioning to Gabapentin Enacarbil
I need some advice when it comes to starting
Horizant
while moving away from Pramipexole. I've been on Pram for about 12 years and although it still works generally, it's getting less an less effective. So it's time to move on. Gabapentin Enacarbil (
Horizant
) is what I'm moving to.
