I've been prescribed Horizant 600mg for my restless leg syndrome, and while it's been a game-changer for my sleep, I'm a bit worried about the long list of potentially severe side effects. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Are the side effects really that bad, or is it just a standard cautionary list? I've heard some horror stories, but also some success stories. If you've taken this, did you have any of the more severe side effects or were they manageable? Also, has anyone switched to a different medication that works as well but with fewer side effects?
