My husband been taking quinine for years for night cramps, he decided to stop but is getting a lot of twitching in his muscles could this be withdral?

No: There are no "withdrawal" effects when Qunine is discontinued HOWEVER the QUININE may have been "covering up" a nerve condition in the legs. Get it checked out by your PCP (Primary Care Provider). Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
