Unfortunately, I recently had to cease taking it because I have been diagnosed with Stage 3 kidney failure (from long-term use of NSAIDS). The quinine likely exacerbated the analgesic kidney effect. I really wish I could use it again. Incidentally, I lived in Nigeria from 1960 until 1966, and did have malaria, even taking quinine tablets daily, but that's not the reason I was directed to take it this time (in Alaska).

When I finally was able to get qualaquin, the first capsul taken resulted in a good night's sleep with no cramps. My doctor did the required EKG to enable him to write the prescription, but now my insurance company says I must have malaria before I can get the drug. I have done everything suggested to relieve the cramps, from exercises, stretching, etc, but nothing else works. I don't know what kind of sleepless nights I will have when I run out of the drug.
