I don't know how long it needs to be taken to keep up resistance.<br /><br />The side effects at prophylactic dosages are said to be rare, but that's a relative term. The problem is that malaria Plasmodium seems to be able to adapt quite quickly to drugs.<br /><br /> Here's a link to a Canadian Forces web page <br /><br />http://www.forces.gc.ca/somalia/vol5/v5c41e.htm<br /><br />that talks about some of issues raised about this in Somalia.Gulogulonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-78685308137651422692010-12-03T13:06:23.654-08:002010-12-03T13:06:23.654-08:00@BY, thanks for the corroboration.
@Gulogulo -...@BY, thanks for the corroboration. <br /><br />@Gulogulo - we're using this stuff on our own soldiers? As an anti-malarial prophylactic does it have to be taken repeatedly?

I had to stop almost immediately due to the lack of emotional control and extremely disturbing dreams that ensued. A quick web search on Lariam yielded a first hit of "Lariam survivors". It scares me that we use this stuff on our military given the very well documented affects on mental stability.Gulogulonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-2116988779934168052010-12-03T12:27:14.705-08:002010-12-03T12:27:14.705-08:00That is nasty - almost worse than physical torture...That is nasty - almost worse than physical torture. Mefloquine has pretty serious side effects even when someone has malaria. The person taking it needs a babysitter for the first 24 hours because of the severe paranoia and hallucinations.<br /><br />Years ago, Information Clearing House released a statement from the US psychiatric association that condemned the US psychologist association for supporting and participating in abusive actions in Guantanamo. They called it a betrayal of medical ethics. Makes me wonder what doctors are on staff who agree to administer this type of torture.Beijing Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579118045254845839noreply@blogger.com
