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.

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.

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.

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!!!

Horizant tapering
Dear All: Apologies- I might be unintentionally reposting this: I have been on
Horizant
for about seven months, at 600mg in the morning and 600mg in the evening (1,200 mg total). Before that, I was on 600mg Gabapentin daily for two years.

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.

The answer I received from my concern about the treatments on the RLS Foundation website
Anyone reading this, doctors or patients, would think that DAs are the correct medication or
Horizant
which is expensive and not appropriate for most since it lasts 24 hours. I know this is not what the RLS Foundation would want doctors or patients to see.

Horizant ER
I’m going to reference a photo with the good RX prices for 600mg twice daily. So it’s for 60 tabs. It’s VERY important to use the online coupon if you can or get your doc to send your script to TruRX

Therapulse - Do I really need to scale up slowly the way the maker says to?
I've had RLS for decades & currently take
Horizant
, methadone, and a small amount of Mirapex (I ran into trouble when I tried to drop the Mirapex completely so my specialist suggested leaving a small amount in for now).

My response to the AASM Guidelines For RLS
It should mention that
Horizant
is a 24 hour medicine where for most people it is only needed at night so gabapentin or pregabalin which are also cheaper are preferred. For PLMD it should say that the prevailing opinion is that it is treated the same way as RLS.

Lyrica pregabalin
Since
Horizant
is now breaking down before 24 hours, I’m thinking of switching to Pregabalin/Lyrica. What is the group’s experience with pregabalin? Has it helped people?
