I can't comment on other drugs but I have some experience with Lariam. I took it for 3 months while traveling in West Africa. I had vivid dreams and dizzyness from day one, occasionally had panic attacks, I felt like I was going to die, my heart starting beating fast and I started to breath faster, my arms went numb, my legs didn't move or I fell because I couldn't feel my left leg in a sudden... for no reason at all. After 2 months I had episodes of malaria like attacks, I felt like I had fever, I was shivering and felt dizzy and tired for a few days. It went on like that for about two months after I stopped taking the drug, every 2-4 weeks I had an episode of illness. They did a full check on me in a hospital in Spain and they found nothing, they suspected that it was the side effects from taking Lariam.
Since then I got better but I would VERY strongly advise against taking Lariam.
