Mixing requip and horizant?
My doc started me on horizant I took it at 5 like she said but it's now eleven and my rls is coming on strong? Can I mix with the requip???? ## Have you consulted your doctor? It may be worse, right now, if you suddenly stopped taking the Requip to switch to the Horizant. If they are combined, they can have additive effects on each other, which could cause more severe central nervous system depression and psychomotor impairment, so your doctor has to take this under careful consideration and adjust the dosages accordingly. In light of that, I wouldn't suggest combining them, without your doctor's approval.

Horizant
Iv'e tried it for two nights with awful side effects. Had to take 30mg of Oxycodone along with it to get me through the night. Am also being weined off 5 mg of Requip XL at the same time. The doc now wants me to take it at 1pm insted of 5 and on an empthy stomach because it won't absorb as well and may cut down on the side effects. Any thoughts out there?... ## Taking a medication on an empty stomach, usually means it has better absorbability and you can experience more side effects. Horizant contains the active ingredient Gabapentin, it is an anticonvulsant that is also used to treat certain types of nerve pain. The normal side effects can include: nausea, irritability, increased appetite and dizziness. You can learn more here: Some of the problems you are experiencing could be...
