True but a few tonic waters a day is very unlikely result in those side effects. Ive never heard of it and lots of people drink it.Chloroquine can have very serious and common side affects, including depression and suicidal thoughts. Its actually pretty common.
In Iraq we were all given chloroquine to prevent malaria. Many complained of nasty effects. I actually stopped taking it. I decided I would take my chances with malaria (pretty shitty decision to make) because I just felt terrible.

Citrus juices go well with Tonic water (without alcohol) like Orange juice with a small bit of Lemon juice.What juice does a good (non-alcoholic) job of smothering the taste of the tonic?
Two days ago Fresno County had 6 cases, today it's 13 and rising. So far no one has died but that could change at any time as our 5 county region reported 35 cases of the virus with one recovery in a neighboring county. As for the age groups, the young are an ever increasing number in the ICUs. They thought that they were invincible as do many of them.
How bad were these side effect in the first 6-10 days? (serious question here)
I can see these effect affecting a trooper's work, especially if you don't have the malaria, but somebody in isolation who does have COVID-19 might see things a bit different.

And like I said it appears that even a small dose should be helpful to inhibit viral replication.
Ive been tipping back 4 or 5 a day since last week( so 40 or 50mg) and have had none of the side affects at all.
Let me be clear. I certainly wouldn't advocate taking a madicinal dose of quinine without seeing a doctor. However, I don't think a couple tonic waters a day, maybe just until this thing is over( unless you really like it) is likely to have any negative affects and by all indications appears that it will most certainly be beneficial if one is unfortunate enough to be exposed to this.
Ok...........that wasn't exactly the response I was expecting for researching a couple common dietary items that might help people here. 3 vitamins and a type of soda pop........sometimes food is the best medicine as they say.......I always feel compelled to help friends in time of need but fair enough.......I won't mention it again.
Ok, thanks Mike but just to be clear what I said was that a couple tonic waters and a good multi vitamin with zinc etc. might be helpful. Feel like people are taking what I said and really going off the deep end with it."A man has died and his wife is under critical care after the couple, both in their 60s, ingested chloroquine phosphate, an additive commonly used at aquariums to clean fish tanks," one of the anti-malaria drugs that President Trump has mentioned in recent days, according to Banner Health, the hospital system that treated both patients.
Why it matters: People who attempt to self-medicate risk serious side effects or death, and it's why any messaging about chloroquine and the related hydroxychloroquine should emphasize that these drugs have not been approved to prevent or treat the new coronavirus.
Worth noting: The malaria drug comes in tablet form, but the type the couple used was a toxic substance — not medication.
Editor's note: This story has been updated to reflect the fact that the form of chloroquine the couple ingested was used in aquariums — and it was not a medication.
- The man's wife told NBC News: "I had it in the house because I used to have koi fish."
Nigeria is reporting two poisonings from the drug chloroquine, a drug that's been touted as a potential but as-yet unproven treatment for coronavirus,Bloomberg reports.
