Horizant Fog?
Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2022 11:50 pm
Wondering if anyone can offer some ideas of what is going on with me?
Around 12 days ago, I stopped taking Neupro. I was on 6mg, and weaned down to 1mg over 10 days before stopping. I had 5 nights of terrible RLS symptoms, but they have improved quite a bit since then. I’m able to fall asleep at midnight, instead of 4:00 now. I have also been taking Horizant for around 3 months. I started on 600mg, and my neurologist bumped me up to 1200mg around a month ago, because I was getting augmentation from the Neupro.
I’m not sure exactly when it started happening, but I have been waking in a complete stupor, and it seems to be getting worse. I know that I had mornings while I was on both Neupro and Horizant that I felt out of it, but it would seem to lift after a couple of hours. In the last week or so, I literally feel like I can’t think until around 2:00 in the afternoon. I’m so out of it. I don’t know if this is from the Horizant itself, or if it has anything to do with stopping the DA 12 days ago.
Anyone have a similar experience or any thoughts on whether it’s related to stopping the DA or not?
Appreciate any help I can get.
