I'm planning a trip to a malaria-prone area and my doctor prescribed Malarone. I've heard about some serious side effects. Has anyone had any issues with this drug?

Dizzy spells were awful. You might want to consider alternatives.

I took Malarone last year for a trip to Africa and didn't have any issues. Hope you have a safe trip!

I wouldn't recommend it for trips longer than 2 weeks. The side effects got too much for me.

I had a really bad cough. It was like nothing I've ever experienced before.

Be careful, I had some strange dreams while on Malarone. But nothing too serious.

I got really sick with a fever and peeling skin. Had to go to the emergency room. Not worth the risk.

Good luck! I thought it would be worse.

Had a mild rash, but nothing severe. Just keep an eye out for any unusual symptoms.

I had to stop taking it because of severe stomach pain. Consult your doctor regularly.
