Did you notice side effects while you were taking mefloquine? What do you recognize now that you can reflect on your experience with a broader list of side effects? #lariam #mefloquinetoxicity
I love the Peace Corps (Kenya, Deaf Ed, 08-10)! Part of me loves my experience. Part of me wishes that I'd never gone and been give #mefloquine #lariam. But none of me wishes for the destruction of this amazing institution!

Infographic: Most mefloquine users were only told about a few possible side effects like dreams, anxiety, and dizziness. At the very least, anyone using mefloquine should have been told, (highlighted quote) "If you experience any side effects, immediately cease use!" (bold) NOT Speech bubbles saying "Suck it up, soldier." "Most people tolerate the drug very well" "It's probably just travel stress." "The alternatives are much more expensive." Bottom note: At Mefaction we do not believe this drug should have been given to anyone whose side effects could be confused with reactions to their situation.
Blatant misinformation and shaming were used to pressure service members, volunteers, and even tourists into using mefloquine and feeling like a burden if they requested another drug. #mefloquine #mefloquinetoxicity #lariam #antimalaria #sideeffects
Mef Action speech bubble asking, What side effects were you warned about when you were given mefloquine?
Whether given #mefloquine ( #lariam ) by your government or receiving a prescription from a doctor, you may have been warned about some side effects. I was warned about nightmares and anxiety. How about you? #mefloquinetoxicity #antimalaria #sideeffects
Lies about side effects, use for torture, refusal to take responsibility,... This Endevr documentary brings up many great points and exposes complete disregard for the lives of soldiers, civilians, and detainees by the US, UK, and more. #mefloquine #mefloquinetoxicity #lariam #endevr

Hi Paul,if you’re experiencing adverse effects from #Mefloquine / #Lariam) it should be discontinued immediately & a safer alternative (e.g.Malarone) should be sought. Early signs of neurotoxicity can be prodromal for more severe complications.
