I was on Liriam and had no problems, both times I went to Malawi (for about a six month period each time). My doctor told me that it is a one in a million chance for someone to be effected negatively by it. You will have to choose for yourself.I personally would rather be on a strong medicine that prevents malaria. You start it a couple of months before you go, so you could always go off it if you started feeling strange – just don’t cause yourself to do so by being paranoid that it will mess up! (I have heard of that!)

I would also recommend a worm pill – I know its gross, but they get in
the food and water.

Hope you have a great time!
