# Larium isn't very nice.
I had a bit of a weird episode on that one - I had a paranoid moment in a hotel room in Vietnam, staring at the ceiling fan like Martin Sheen in 'Apocalypse Now'.
Avoid that stuff.

If you're not going 'up-country', and are just sticking to larger cities, I wouldn't bother with anything, but it's your choice.

# no Larium has been linked with all sorts
of mentalness....avoid it like the plague...loads of cases in the US where soldiers went mental and killed their wives etc after it...google it

Think i took Malarone, had one day feeling a little queasy, but no big deal, and after that it was fine. Do take something though, malaria is not nice

# my housemate
got given a curative dose of Larium after getting malaria. He reckons the only reason he didn't end up in an asylum was because he had past experience of LSD, and could control it to an extent. Or at least realise it was the drugs that were doing it, not that reality had gone a bit screwy. Imagine a 3-month-long trip. Yikes. He was a bit of a mental to live with.
