FFS:
I personally know three people who took Lariam as an anti-malarial.
One had no side effects.
The second had the strangest dreams of their life and, according to a friend of mine, went temporarily insane.
The third tried to commit suicide, despite having absolutely no reason for doing so.
When I've travelled to countries with malaria, I've refused to take Lariam, and taken chloroquine.
The forced administration of Lariam, in the set and setting of being an orange-suited legal non-person at Guantanamo, is clearly the work of the deep black shrinks, and is probably part of the KUBARK protocol.
Finally, what a surprize (not) to be reminded that Lariam is a product of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, and manufactured under licence by Hoffman La Roche....

Quote:Mefloquine is also known by its brand name Lariam. It was researched by the US Army in the 1970s and licensed by the Food and Drug Administration in 1989. Since its introduction, it has been directly linked to serious adverse effects, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, confusion, hallucinations, bizarre dreams, nausea, vomiting, sores and homicidal and suicidal thoughts. It belongs to a class of drugs known as quinolines, which were part of a 1956 CIA-sponsored, human experiment program to investigate "toxic cerebral states."
The Army tapped the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) to develop mefloquine and it was later licensed to the Swiss pharmaceutical company F. Hoffman-La Roche. The first human trials of mefloquine were conducted in the mid-1970s on prisoners, who were deliberately inoculated with malaria at Stateville Correctional prison near Joliet, Illinois, the site of controversial antimalarial experimentation in the early 1940s.
The drug was administered to Guantanamo detainees without regard for their medical or psychological history, despite its considerable risk of exacerbating pre-existing conditions. Mefloquine is also known to have serious side effects among individuals under treatment for depression or other serious mental health disorders, which numerous detainees were said to have been treated for, according to their attorneys and published reports.
In 2002, when the prison was established and mefloquine first administered, there were dozens of suicide attempts at Guantanamo. That same year, the DoD stopped reporting attempted suicides.
