DO NOT under ANY circumstances take this medication! My father-in-law took this medication before taking a trip to Africa. A month after returning, has had several psychotic episodes and hallucinations do to this drug. He had no mental problems prior to taking this drug. This company is down-playing the horrible risk and side-effects this drug causes. Stay away from this medication!! Published: March 11, 2008 ::

I took this drug when I went to volunteer in Africa for 6 weeks. It turned out to be a complete disaster for me. IT RUINED MY LIFE. What was supposed to be a special time for me was wrecked by Lariam. I had insomnia, troubles breathing, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, alchohol intolerance, liver damage, suicidal thoughts, and personality changes. I was not properly informed about these side effects when I was perscribed Lariam. DO NOT TAKE IT. Only a few people have these effects, but if you are one of those people it will wreck your life.

My son went to Africa on a church missions trip and had suicidal psychotic episodes until we stopped him from taking any more of this drug. It is a horror. Published: July 17, 2008 ::

Took it in 2003 and found myself in a deep, dark pit that took me years to crawl out of. In addition to the usual symptoms, tinnitus, anxiety, panics attacks, etc, my emotions disappeared (except terror - that stayed). I guess you cannot imagine what it must be like not having emotions, until you experience it. And then pain disappeared. I could injure myself without feeling it. Published: March 15, 2009 ::
