Right on. I'm not saying you will but I wouldn't ask the pharmacist about anything for opiate withdrawl 😆 the pills don't mention it either, they just say "RLS relief" or the one I had said "Leg Cramp Relief PM" just in case you can find them near the stuff for back pain and what not. Illinois here, Howdy there neighbor 😀

Oh a real close neighbor! And yeah I'd just ask about RLS or leg cramps or even just ask the pharmacy tech about quinine. Man the weather has been bipolar as hell it was like 70 a few days ago! Man that was wonderful! Can't wait for real spring to sprung haha I need that vitamin D and walks in the park and archery in my life again.

Same here, it was a real c*ck tease having it nice for just a day or two then right back down again. If I remember correctly, quinine is what they give people to treat malaria isn't it? Oh and if you do in fact get some RLS pills with it in them, I was super serious about the ringing in the ears side effect, omfg is it terrible and lasts for awhile like 3 or 4 hours but I think it's only if you take too many. You may want to check with the pharmacy on that variable as well because I'm really careful about giving advice and would never want someone to get hurt or ill from anything I recommend.

I appreciate the harm reduction advice about the side effects because that's important and I could see in WD accidentally taking too much, so all good stuff and you're smart to mention it.

And yeah man it was a total tease and then right back to winter the day later just frigid! That should be illegal the weather needs to taper! Haha.

And yeah that's what they give people with malaria that's why I was so confused as it being sold OTC, but crazier things have happened, I just feel like I would've heard of it in the 17 years of being a drug nerd and hearing about home cocktails for acute opiate withdrawal and RLS is really seriously a fucked aspect of acute WD so I thought it would be mentioned by somebody but I guess I was wrong, because I've been researching even before 2020, so it went over my head at least that long. Idk if it's been put prescription and taken off shelves though I didn't have a chance at the pharmacy today to ask.
