I have it sometimes ,but have never mentioned it to doctors ,hope you get on ok x

I was given quinnine for leg cramps by a neurologist and they did make my Tinnitus worse.

My gp left it up to me on what i wanted to do and it was decided that i only take the quinnine when absolutely nessesary.

Hello, I was getting really bad legs cramps, and several people suggested I try Quinine. After speaking to my Chemist he said to try Tonic water that contained quinine as it's as good if not better than tablets. Of course tonic water tastes nasty, you can get flavoured tonic water but not local to me. I have luckily found that my local co-op sells a Bitter Lemon with quinine. I've been having a glass a day and the cramps have almost stopped. Hope this helps?
