"My Anti-Malaria Drugs Made Me Psychotic"
Who's tried this groovy drug, "Lariam/Mefloquine"?
‘I felt I knew God, and that I was his second son. I began writing a new religion, a mixture of Christianity, Islam and my own reflections. I’d never been so excited’ -Tim Notee-
I started taking the anti-malarial drug Lariam before going to Ghana in October 2013. I was 20 years old, living near Rotterdam and studying healthcare technology – the trip was part of my degree. The nurse asked me if I or anyone in my family had ever had psychological problems, which I hadn’t. She warned me that some people experience side-effects, including hallucinations. I pocketed my prescription and set a reminder on my phone to take one pill a week.
Looking back, I can see the effects started before I left for Ghana, but at the time I blamed it on the stress of the trip ahead. My mind became chaotic...

No need too, I think they are already added to the water supply in most cities.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Re: "My Anti-Malaria Drugs Made Me Psychotic"
In India a decade ago we reunited with some Chilean folk who we'd kept running into in McLeod ganj, and they'd picked up a fellow Spanish speaker in Delhi prior to hitting the hills. This girl had only just arrived 7 days prior and had started on the lariam on arrival. Her planned trip was the usual 6 month Indian odyssey favoured by this that enjoy happy pants bracelets and ganja. By day 7 she'd had a complete psychological break and pretty much looked like she was deep down a terrible lsd trip that just wouldn't end. One of the Chileans happened to be a psychologist, so she managed to keep her in fairly good shape until they could get her down to the local airstrip and on a plane back to Delhi and then Spain, but later told us she'd been hallucinating some horror shit.
