Horizant (gabapentin enacarbil) "I have suffered from RLS since 2007. I started taking pramipexole then switched over to 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 300mg and then increased up to 600mg the following week. Am starting to feel better and hoping this will work."

Horizant (gabapentin enacarbil) "I have suffered from severe small fiber neuropathy (SFM) pain and restless leg syndrome for 10 years or more. I take pain medication for the SFN, which helps with the pain. But does not help the RLS. I could not tolerate other medications for RLS. None of them helped with my symptoms & the side effects were intolerable. Regular Gabapentin also did not help with my neuropathy pain or my RLS. I did try Horizant for the first time about a week ago for my severe restless leg syndrome. I used the sample my doctor gave me. I take 600 mg at night with my meal. I noticed results the first day. I would definitely recommend this medication for RLS. Amazing for me and no negative side effects and I sleep much better!"

"I have been taking a combination of Gabapentin and Requip for 20 years after a lower back injury. I have cleared up the pain from the injury of the lower back, but still have to take the combination of the two drugs and so for after 20 years I have had no side effects. The drugs work great for me. My doctors recently retired and now I have a total quack that says she knows best and have been trying to reduce the requip by 1/2 and the gabapentin by 1/2 also, it will be so hard on me if she does."

"I have had RLS for over 20 years. I have been taking Pramipexole (Mirapex) for several years which works great for me, except I experience augmentation, which causes me to have to increase my dosage. I just tried using Horizant and after 5 days so far this drug has not worked for me. I'm going to try giving it a few more days, but then it's back to Pramipexole for me. I need sleep."

Horizant (gabapentin enacarbil) "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 (gabapentin enacarbil) "Horizant has given me a good nights 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 (gabapentin enacarbil) "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"
