Sorry this isnt really a question but more of a suggestion to help with wds

My worst symptom of withdrawal is always the restless arms and legs which makes it extremely hard to sleep or even just sit still as the aches are so intense.  With my last battle of withdrawal i finally decided to try highland restful legs but i could not find the one with quinine in it.  So i had read posts on here before about drinking tonic water because it has quinine in it, so i would take a restful leg pill and wash it down with a few gulps of tonic water.  It could just be me but i found that when my body started aching i would just take a few sips of tonic water and it would take away many of the aches and pains tremendously.  If you can stomach the taste of it i would strongly recommend to try and drink tonic water for the aches and pains as i found that it really helped me.

Hi Isis and welcome to the forum! Highlands Restless Legs is an over the counter supplement. For a list of supplements and vitamins and other information about how to relieve withdrawal symptoms, check out the Thomas recipe in the Health Pages of this site. Immodium is an absolute must for the tummy troubles and has other properties that help ease withdrawal symptoms.

If you would like to share your story and give us a bit information about what you have been taking, etc., click on the Ask a Question button at the top of the page.

Again, welcome and hope to see you around :)
