morphine quinine

Have been clean of morphine and hydocodone for 12 days. I am 82 and these were given me for scoliosis and COPD. I decided to cold turkey after a couple of years of this and am having bad headaches. Other wd symptoms seem to have started to let up fairly well. I took restlegs prep last night, twice. first time for me, could that cause stomach upset along with more headaches?

I have tried around 6 times to cold turkey from morphine 50-100 mg a day and it has been different each time. This time is very odd though. I feel extremely violent and anxious like I could literally hurt someone if they said the wrong thing. I was a huge huge witch to my husband who subsequently has left to run errands. I am feeling suicidal and was looking up ways to commit suicide.

in earlier forums you have suggested carbonated beverages both cola and white soda are unhealthy. Does this apply to quinine water? My neurologist has suggested for cramping relief.

My husband is WD from codiene and some morphine sulfate(15mg..unknown how many tablets). He is doing excellant as he has been taking pain medication for his back for 20 years. The withdraws are not as bad as I expected but his legs are now jerking and they hurt. Is there anything he an take or do to ease this and how long does it last?

I have thrice detoxed from morphine due to a back injury, then shingles virus, then another back injury. One week off morphine today. I found that drinking gatorade for potassium and eating bananas for magnesium helped somewhat. But I needed a heating pad, a muscle pain cream like Ben Gay, and a $100 heated vibrating leg massager (short-term painful) to beat the cramps. The cramps caused sleeplessness and anxiety in me.

hi, and welcome, i am also in the uk, i know what your going through, but it will certainly be worth it to get your life back, to help restless legs, take hot baths with epsom salts in, drink tonic water, its the quinine in it that helps, sounds odd but eating bananas helps, contains potassium, you will feel emotional, seems to be part of the withdrawal, get some valerian root for relaxation, sounds silly, but what were you taking??

In recent years, quinine has also been discovered to provide aid for those patients who suffer from chronic leg cramps, and thousands of patients have been using it for this purpose. However, recent statistics have revealed several potentially-serious problems with the off-label use of this drug.

In June of 2007 the FDA took action concerning quinine-containing drugs. It did approve a quinine drug product some years earlier solely for the treatment of malaria caused by a parasite. In the 2007 report the FDA said, "Quinine is associated with a variety of serious adverse events, some of them potentially fatal." Drugs.

I thought Quinine the drug was taken off the market in the US? Is the quinine in the soda the same that was in the Quinine drug I got for leg cramps years ago? Quinine used to be a prescription drug, to have it in a tonic water would be great but is this possible, I mean I know it's possible but I don't think they're one and the same.

m reading about risks associated with quinine. How much is too much? How much quinine is in tonic? What are the side effects? Should I stop drinking tonic water? A. Quinine has been used medicinally to ward off malaria since the 17th century. The normal dose to treat malaria is 648 mg every eight hours for a week. A glass of tonic has roughly 20 mg, so you can see that there is a big difference.

A friend of mine told me that the quinine in tonic water helps with leg cramps (mine are in the calf and very painful) For me, it's like a miracle cure...

If you can find some quinine tablets,take those as well. The RLS will hang around for about a week or so longer but will gradually improve. Good luck!

tonic water has quinine in it and it relieves cramping in ur legs, also u can ask the pharm for otc quinine tablets good luck dove

They said the FDA made them discontinue using real Quinine in 1985. What they call Quinine now is artificial and used just for flavor but not made from tree bark like it used to be. So drink all you like. I enjoy it on the rocks with lime, all the time and I'm not sure but it might help stop my legs from cramping!

In recent times, the only medication that has been widely used to prevent, and sometimes also to treat, cramps is quinine. Quinine acts by decreasing the excitability of the muscles. It has also been shown to be effective in many, but not all, scientific studies. However, quinine also causes birth defects and miscarriages. It has also occasionally caused hypersensitivity reactions and a deficiency of platelets, which are the blood components responsible for clotting.

Actually I drink tonic water occasionally for the leg cramps as it containes quinine. Quinine has had some medicinal use in reducing leg cramps. However quinine has it's own problems so I do not drink it very often.

I found out not to get the one for restful legs but the one for leg cramps with Quinine in it. If you are no able to find it you can drink Tonic water before bed will also help. Tonic water also has Quinine in it. Hope this helps anyone with rls. Have a good day to all and keep up the good work!

ve been getting restless legs bad and was told that tonic water with quinine would help. Does anybody know if this is safe for baby?

Hi acesmom, It is Hylands Restful Leg and the ingredient in it is Quinine although they have outlawed quinine in the U.S. they have found a way to make a derivative Naturally. I showed my kidney Dr. a bottle of it, He was surprised and spoke in length how they go about skirting law in Natural medicine. He also said they use to use quinine during dialysis to relive cramps. He said to go ahead and use it for me If I cramp and it helps.

hi all im getting my stuff together for the thomas recipe can anybody tell me what the quinine is suppose to help with i think it for rls but not sure any info would be apreciated thanks

The pain of leg cramps can range from mild to excruciating and one of the most effective ways to deal with leg cramps is by taking quinine sulfate. A licensed physician must prescribe full strength quinine sulfate but there are over the counter medications that have trace amounts quinine sulfate in them. These trace amounts of quinine sulfate are combined with vitamins to produce an over the counter supplement that can be used as a treatment for restless leg syndrome. Hope this helps! S.

A search for "quinine retina" quickly turned up lots of references, but they all refer to toxic levels. For example, http://www.emedmag.com/html/pre/tox/0101.asp refers to someone who ingested thirty 300mg tablets, for a total of 9000 mg. It says that tonic water has 2mg of quinine per ounce, meaning you'd have to drink 35 gallons (133 liters) to get that much quinine from tonic water.

The spasms are usually due to either magnesium deficiency or calcium deficiency. They are exacerbated by caffeine drinks, which deplete calcium in muscle tissue. The first step is to drink a glass or two of milk every day or take calcium pills. If this doesn't work try Hylands Leg Cramp Pills (containing Quinine) or prescription quinine sulfate pills.

I have done some research and i believe Quinine dihydrochloride, Quinine sulfate is an additive to carbonated drinks which may case such problems as an allergic reaction. I went to the pharmacist and essentially by drinking carbonated drinks poisons my body, like food poisoning would!

Tonic water works wonders. It contains quinine which takes the problem right away. There are alot of carbs in tonic though so if that is an issue use diet tonic water. I hate the taste and have to hold my nose when I drink it but its worth it.

A couple of people have mentioned the use of quinine enriched water to help ward off leg and foot cramps but when I google quinine its actually a malaria drug that is contra-indicated with other drugs. I don't want to mess up my treatment as I've just passed the half way mark. Does anyone have any advice or experiences they want to relate?
