Has anyone had negative outcomes from Mephaquin Mondays?

But it was mefloquine.

Oh yeah.

Never had any issues with anti-malarial...

No

My original thought was they were talking about Paxil....

I was in the Guard when we went to Iraq in 03. My memory is horrible but I'm thinking we were given doxycycline for malaria prevention. One pill every day until we were told we didn't have to take it anymore. Two things stand out immediately, one that much antibiotics kills the good gut flora too and two it totally contracts the birth control that some of the females were taking. As a side note given the S.A.D. policy birth control shouldn't have been a concern. That's a totally different subject though.

Disrupted sleep patterns partially attributed to long term use of the drug. As explained to me, the reason why the drug induces such vivid dreams is it interrupts a person's sleep-awake cycle. Since a person is constantly drifting in and out of REM (deep sleep) the dreams seem more vivid and lucid. Over extended use, people like myself can develop irregular sleep patterns where you are unable to stay in deep sleep for extended periods of time (never more than 1 to 2 hours at a time).
