Neuro-Psychiatric-Free Malaria Pills
I've heard conflicting things about my malaria medication. Some malaria pills give people really horrible dreams (read: being chased and killed by bad men, or so this seems to be the theme amongst two friends who have taken them). Since I had a dream along these same lines two nights ago (think teenage horror flick) and I haven't even started taking the pills, I'd like to think that I've had my share of nightmares for the next three or four years, thank you very much. After reading through the drug information from the pharmacy and not finding anything about bad dream side-effects, I went online to do more research. Luckily, malarone has less side-effects than other malaria pills and (this is the best part!) doesn't have the neuro-psychiatric side-effects of another malaria pill that starts with "m", mefloquine. Now, this does not mean that I won't have any bad dreams. Perhaps people still have weird dreams on malarone, but I'm crossing my fingers I'll get along just fine.
