Years ago when I went to Africa, I took Lariam. Initially there was nothing wrong and everything seemed fine. After one week, the first symptoms started to appear, I was crying a lot, panicky, had disturbing thoughts and was psychologically unwell. Didn't occur to me that it might have been because of Lariam. Difficulty eating, couldn't swallow properly. The fear has never gone away, nor the psychological effects, I regularly get panic attacks even now, 20 years later. The doctors couldn't find any reason for this so thought I'd had a breakdown. Finally they admitted that it was probably down to the fact that I once took Lariam which damaged my neurotransmitters and nervous system.
