Tonic Water for Eye Twitch
Tab (Australia) on 11/09/2021:
I had an annoying upper eyelid twitch for 3 weeks. I read on here to try tonic water. I can say it definitely worked for me! While it never stopped it completely, after drinking a glass, it would give me reprieve for a few hours and then when I felt the twitch, I would drink more. I drank a litre a day on and off for 2 weeks and then dropped it back and then I woke up one day and it stopped. While I don't know if the tonic water cured the twitch, it will definitely stop the twitch for a certain amount of time, which really helped my anxiety as the twitch was really impacting my daily life. I would definitely try this miracle drink and go for the diet version (less sugar).

Had a twitch In my right eye for 5 weeks. It stopped last week and now it's started back and I'm having twitch in my left eye on the bottom lid. I've been stressed the past couple weeks thinking it's never going to go, but when I see posts about tonic water stopping it, I thought I'd give it a go so I'm drinking it atm. Does anyone know how long it will take for it work? View Entire Thread

Thank you! My undereye (where my undereye bag is) was twitching, like a muscle spasm) for almost a month. I saw the posts on this site, so last night I tried tonic water which says it has quinine (found it at CVS Pharmacy next to the mineral water), drank only 3 oz, and today in the afternoon it finally stopped! OMG! Thank you for posting! I can't believe it worked!

My left upper eyelid twitched for 6 weeks and I thought I was going to lose my mind until I found this thread about people having great results with tonic water. I went out and bought several liters and drank 8-16 oz a day for a week. The twitch is 90% better! Amazed and thankful!

Quinine definitely works. I've an eye twitch for about 5 months now. It stopped while I was on holiday, but now I'm back home it started again. On holiday I was drinking gin with bitter lemon, without realising this has quinine in it - which must be what stopped the twitching. At home I usually drink gin and soda (no quinine) which is why the twitch must have started again!

OMG! I had an annoying eye twitch for three or four weeks and read about the tonic water. I had one small bottle one night and it was way better the next day. Had a second small bottle the next night and it is completely gone today. Thank you for the tip!

Tonic Water worked instantly for me. I have had eye twitches on my right eye for about two weeks and they seemed to be getting stronger. My ophthalmologist told me to drink 1oz. of Tonic water daily. He said it could take up to seven days to work. It worked instantly the same night. I actually took 2 oz. the first night. Today is day 3 and I have taken 1 oz. of tonic water daily(except for the 1st day when I drank 2oz.) and I have had no eye twitches since day one.

My eye had literally been twitching for about 4 months, very strongly and was causing me anxiety. I drank about 8 oz of tonic water, and it reduced the twitching about 75% in the intensity and the amount of times it was twitching initially, and the over the next couple of days it completely stopped. I haven't experienced anymore twitching since the 8 oz....yay! This works...
