I used to take quinine for rls and it worked quite well. the side effect is a depletion of platelets. that's why it was removed from the market. there is a new form of it on the market now so you might want to ask your pharmacist about it.

i tried requip and it was of no use. no matter how much i took. i take klonipin and it works very well. 1 mg about 45 minutes before i go to bed.

as Koala said, you can get quinine in Tonic Water that you purchase at the grocery store. try that for a while and see if you get some relief.
