Will Quinine Sulphate Relieve Me From RLS?

I am on at at home detox from codeine phosphate 30mg of which I was taking 20 a day. I have commenced Lofexidine and have been on this for 2/7. The only withdrawal I m suffering is RLS, I collected a script for Quinine Sulphate 300mg about 45 minutes ago, will this work for RLS quickly? I need to sleep and RLS is the only symptom stopping me!

Hello,

Quinine can help in reducing RLS to some extent. To stop the RLS completely it is good to get a good anti-anxiety drug prescribed by your physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
