"I have suffered from RLS since 2007. I started taking pramipexole, then switched over to the Neupro patch, which left me with second-degree burns. My insurance left me hanging for 3-1/2 weeks to get approval for Horizant, I was miserable by the time I finally received the medication. I started at 300 mg and then increased up to 600 mg the following week. I'm starting to feel better and hoping this will work."

"This medicine is definitely a 10. It worked for me from the first day I took it. It's nice to sleep at night again instead of pacing the floor."

"Horizant has given me a good night's sleep, which I haven't experienced in years due to RLS! I know it is gabapentin, basically, but it works differently with only 1 pill taken at dinnertime."

"Horizant worked wonderfully for RLS! But after a couple of months, my mouth and nose got really sore, so I had to stop taking it. It really worked for my RLS."
