> I HAVE A VERY BAD INSONIA, I THINK IT STARTED WITH BACK AND SHOULDER PAIN ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. I ALSO HAVE LEG RESTLESS, AND THE URGE TO MOVE MAY LEGS KEEP ME WAKE. CAN YOU HELP ME? I AM TAKING VIT.E & IBUBROFEN.
> THANK YOU.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
QUININE is usually prescribed for restless legs. This is available by prescription, or you may
want to try an OTC medication called LEGATRIM, which contains quinine.Sorry but Tonic Water doesn't quite cut it for quinine!
Also, don't take Vitamin E at night because it may have a stimulating effect. This is true
for Vitamins A and D, too.kazoo
