Hi Has Anyone Been Switched From Lyrica To Horizant?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Greenville, VA

Recently my pain management doctor put me on Horizant because i was having dizziness and getting off balance. I'm just wondering if Horizant will have the same effect and also does it work better?

Hi I'm sorry you have had some effects. I've not heard of that medication. Only Lyrica and gabapentin. I just slowly stopped Lyrica because I was dizzy.
On internet if you want to search iherb.
They sell a product
alpha-lipoic acid supplements. A nurse and natrapath told me it's alternate to Lyrica. Because I couldn't stand how Lyrica makes you feel.
I'm sorry I don't think I've helped. Hope u feel ok ☺️

@A MyChronicPainTeam Member, the doctor ordered that for me to sleep, but I looked it up and saw it was just time released Gabapentin, which I cannot take, so I never took it. I hear it helps people sleep if you don't have the side effects. Good luck.
