I would rather risk malaria than take Lariam again.<br /><br />I loved my first experience with Lariam - I lost my appetite. Since I can afford to lose more than a few pounds I was delighted. However, it was during my second round that I realized that the very strange dreams I was having was caused by the drug.<br /><br />CBC did a very informative piece in 2002. Those horrible episodes in Somalia where Canadian soliders tortured Somalis occurred, in each case, the day after the soliders took the Lariam.<br /><br />I have never taken it again and always counsel people again taking it.<br /><br />NeysaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573382596442861899.post-45249875682368992652009-08-07T05:25:34.213-07:002009-08-07T05:25:34.213-07:00Glenn,
