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

A reminder for the 9th Annual Mefloquine Conference in August. This year it will be held in Moncton, New Brunswick. It is always encouraging to meet other #mefloquinetoxicity advocates. #mefloquine #mefloquineawarness #mefloquinecanada #lariam #antimalaria #quinism #quinismfoundation

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

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

This UPI article from 2002 was another clear warning that #mefloquinetoxicity side effects must be more severe then reported. Yet they blatantly ignored the facts... "I want to get the Peace Corps out of this story," Peace Corps spokeswoman Ellen Field, 2002.

The percentage that experience side effects while taking #mefloquine and symptoms of #mefloquinetoxicity is debatable because of the nature of the effects and the implementation of many studies. Many people may be suffering from symptoms and have not yet made the connection to "mef" as the cause.

The brain controls everything. As a result, the symptoms of mefloquine toxicity (Quinism) are broad and substantial.

I have since recognized that I suffer from many other symptoms of mefloquine toxicity. Share your story or connection to mefloquine.

Leave a comment or dm if you know of any mefloquine related groups or information that should be included in the resources.
