HELP! In Detox & need name

[maggie0704]

Does anyone know that name of medication (not sure if it's OTC or prescribed) that's used when detoxing for muscle/leg cramps. I was up basically all night (was VERY tired in mind & body) but my freakin' legs wouldn't stop. They felt anxious almost....weak and achy. And i woke up literally every 5-10 min. for over 5 hrs. I had taken sleeping med., so my body was SOOO tired, but i couldn't get comfortable.
Unfortunately, i decided to do this pretty quick, and i'm just getting the necessary vitamins/minerals into my system TODAY....I haven't had time to get into my system before like i'd planned.

My Mom has a prescription for Quinine (she has fibro.) and is bringing it to me...along with Zinc, B-Complex & B-12 Sub. drops & Fish Oil....The rest of the vitamins are already in my pre-natal vitamin.
I THINK the medication started with a "C".....
Also...since i'm going to have the Quinine, is that "C" medication NOT necessary?

Are you maybe thinking about clonodine? It is often used in detox. It is a blood pressure med, prescription. I know it can help with the sweats and even anxiety. Clonodine would not, I don't think anyway, help with the legs so much.

What you are taking with the Bs should help. I also took Magnesium... just a supplement. One 250 mg tab midmorning, one 250 mg tab midevening. It promotes nerve health and did help some with the legs. As should Quinine. Taake hot baths, massage bengay into the legs.

hang in, Sweetie, hang in

Hey Guys,
Thanks for being here for me! It TRUELY means more than you know.
I'm doing o.k. right now....I'm on the 2mg today. Tomorrow i'll jump to 1mg, and then the next day be done.
As i said before, I wasn't planning on doing it this quickly, but when i started to feel withdrawls at the 3mg, i was afraid to wait a whole week to do the rest. Plus, we're really slow at work, so it works out good in that area.
Today wasn't so bad....last night was yucky. With the RLS it made me want to jump off a cliff!!! I was SOOO tired, yet i couldn't sleep for more than a few minutes at a time. I wanted to get up out of bed to occupy myself, but i was so tired i couldn't. That's so frustrating!!!!
So....tomorrow i'll drop to 1mg, then 0 the next day,,,so i should be feeling it the worst around Thur/Friday.??
I've got myself stocked up now (my Mom brought over vitamins needed) and i feel better knowing i have that stuff. It's crazy, bcuz when i was in rehab, they never even MENTIONED all these vitamins/minerals that could help! I mean, it makes so much sense that our bodies are "screaming" for these nutrients and that is why we ache and suffer so badly...so why didn't they suggest this stuff?
I was considering jumping off at the 2mg and stopping completely, but i'm afraid if i feel TOO sick, i'll give in and not be able to make it. Even dropping from the 3mg. (was at yesterday) to 0mg in 2 days is ALOT. So i guess i'm doing the best i can with what i have right now.
I'll be in touch often......especially when i'm feeling really bad and need a little "push".
Thank you guys SOOO much! I am so lucky to have you guys supporting me thru this!!!
Mags xoxo
